Abstract:
A needleless injection site, comprising:a housing; a reseal member attached to the housing, said reseal member having an elastically openable and closable aperture formed therein and normally residing in a closed position wherein the aperture is in a closed configuration; said reseal member being deformable such that the application of distally directed pressure thereto will cause the aperture to assume an open configuration, and the removal of the distally directed pressure therefrom will allow the aperture to return to the closed configuration; a flange formed about the periphery of the reseal member; a central portion; and a distal portion, said distal portion being invertible and adapted to overlap the central portion and apply a radially inward biasing force thereto when inverted which maintains the aperture in the closed configuration when no distally directed pressure is applied to the reseal member.
