Negative Pressure Connector Seal

Abstract

A fluid connector system includes a first connector adjoining a second connector at a junction, and a sealing member coupled to the first connector and the second connector around the junction. The sealing member can include an annular wall having a first annular portion configured to engage the first connector and a second annular portion configured to engage the second connector. The sealing member can include an annular chamber extending between the first annular portion and the second annular portion. The annular chamber can be formed by the first annular portion sealing against an outer surface of the first connector and the second annular portion sealing against an outer surface of the second connector when a pressure between the sealing member and the first connector and the second connector is negative.
