Abstract: MALE LUER CONNECTOR WITH VALVE HAVING 
FLUID PATH AND VENT PATH SEALS 
ABSTRACT 
A male needleless connector includes a body having a male fitting with a distal port, a valve 
disposed within the body and having a first position wherein the valve seals the port and a second 
position wherein the valve does not seal the port, and a sliding seal disposed over a portion of the 
male fitting and having a first configuration wherein a first portion of the sliding seal is in sealing 
contact with the male fitting and a second configuration wherein the first portion is not in sealing 
contact with the male fitting. Moving the sliding seal to the second configuration opens the seal 
between the sliding seal and the male fitting and displaces the valve to the second position, thereby 
opening the seal between the valve and the port to provide a vent path from the cavity between the 
sliding seal and the male fitting into the internal cavity of a female counter connector.
