Abstract:
A valve connector for infusion medical lines includes an outer tubular body, an inner hollow spike and an intermediate sealing member formed by an elastic hollow element including a head with a pre-slit normally closed. The elastic hollow element has a base part substantially generally barrel-shaped and a wall having a differentiated radial thickness.

Claim (Index 1):
Valve connector for medical lines, comprising:\n a tubular body having an inlet end designed for the engagement of a fluid introducer and an outlet end, a hollow spike arranged axially within the cavity of the tubular body and having a closed tip facing said inlet end of the tubular body and axially spaced therefrom, said hollow spike being in communication with said outlet end, a sealing member formed by an elastic hollow element interposed between said tubular body and said hollow spike and having an elastic head provided with a pre-slit and normally arranged in a closure condition in said inlet end of the tubular body, wherein said pre-slit is closed; said elastic head being axially moveable against said closed tip of the hollow spike for interacting with said closed tip so as to take an elastically deformed condition of opening of said pre-slit, and said elastic hollow element further comprising a base part radially spaced from said hollow spike so as to define therewith an annular chamber, said base part of the elastic hollow element having a generally barrel-like shape with a wall having a differentiated radial thickness and formed externally with thickened axial lobes, whose radial thickness progressively decreases towards axial areas having minimum thickness of said wall.
