Abstract:
1. A medical valve device comprising: a main body; first, second and third connection ports attached to said main body; and a valve unit rotatable in said main body for selectably connecting said connection ports together in fluid flow communication, said valve unit being shaped to provide a first fluid flow channel and a second fluid flow channel, wherein said valve unit is positionable in said main body (1) in a first state such that said first fluid flow channel provides a fluid flow connection between said first port and said third port but not said second port and said second fluid flow channel provides a fluid flow connection between said second port and said third port but not said first port, and (2) in a second state such that said first flow channel provides a fluid flow connection between said third port and said second port but not said first port and no fluid flow connection is provided to said first port, and (3) in a third state such that said second flow channel provides a fluid flow connection between said first port and said third port but not said second port and no fluid flow connection is provided to said second port; wherein said first fluid flow channel and said second fluid flow channel are separated in said valve unit by a partition which is positioned for engagement with an inner wall of the main body and hinders fluid communication between said first fluid channel and said second fluid channel in said valve unit.
