Abstract:
1. A dual sealing system for use with a probe, said system comprising: a housing defining a port extending along a longitudinal axis between an exterior end of the housing and an interior end of the housing to establish communication between an exterior environment and an interior space; a first flexible, resilient penetratable member extending across the port at a first location along the axis, the first penetratable member configured to create a seal around the probe with the probe inserted therethrough; a first connector sleeve extending between the first penetratable member and the housing, the first connector sleeve defined by a first flexible, resilient tubular wall, the first tubular wall, as viewed in longitudinal cross section along a plane containing the longitudinal axis, having a curved wall portion joined with a straight wall portion; a second flexible, penetratable member extending across the port at a second location along the axis spaced toward the interior end from the first location, the second penetratable member configured to create a seal after having been penetrated by the probe and the probe has been removed from the second penetratable member; and a second connector sleeve extending between the second penetratable member and the housing, the second connector sleeve defined by a second flexible, resilient tubular wall, the second tubular wall, as viewed in longitudinal cross section along a plane containing the longitudinal axis, having a curved wall portion joined with a straight wall portion.
