Self-sealing male luer connector with multiple seats

A self-sealing male Luer connector for connection with a female Luer connector, the male Luer connector comprising:

• a rigid housing having a distal end and a proximal end, the housing comprising at the distal end a rigid tubular male Luer portion having a shape selected for engagement with a female Luer connector;
• a distal valve located at the distal end of the housing, the distal valve comprising an internal valve seat disposed in the tubular male Luer portion;
• a proximal valve located at the proximal end of the housing;
• a rigid actuator movably disposed within the housing for movement toward the proximal end of the housing to open both the distal and proximal valves, the actuator comprising a distal end having a valve stem within which a fluid flow lumen is disposed, and a tip seal located at a distal end of the valve stem, which, when the actuator is in a distal position, closes the first valve to prevent the flow of fluid through the first valve, and wherein the actuator further comprises a rigid actuator arm disposed adjacent and wholly outside the tubular male portion and extending axially in the proximal to distal direction, wherein movement of the actuator arm towards the proximal end of the housing will cause the actuator to move towards the proximal end of the housing and open both the distal and proximal valves;
• a resilient member contained within the housing and positioned to bias the actuator towards the distal end of the housing to close both the distal and proximal valves;
• whereby as a female connector is engaged with the male Luer portion, the female connector will move the actuator arm towards the proximal end of the housing thereby opening both the distal and proximal valves and
• wherein the actuator comprises a distal end and a proximal end, the proximal end comprising a piercing element located so at to pierce the proximal valve upon movement of the actuator in the proximal direction.
