Medical connector apparatus
First Claim
1. An electrical medical connector apparatus comprising:
- a housing unit and an electrical medical cable connector, the housing unit having an interior chamber, the housing unit forming a semi-cylindrical surface extending into the interior chamber, the housing unit further comprising two housed electrical connectors therein, and a front end having an aperture for receiving an electrical medical cable connector, wherein the electrical medical cable connector comprise, two electrical conductors electrically connected to two conductive sockets within a shell of the electrical medical cable connector, wherein each of the conductive electrical sockets of the cable connectors are connected to each of the electrical conductors; and
a semi-cylindrical channel formed in the shell adapted to slide over and surround the semi-cylindrical surface of the housing unit when the cable connector is inserted to make electrical contact between the cable connector and the housing unit and further wherein expandable tubes in the shell surround each conductive socket.

Abstract
A medical connector apparatus that includes: (1) a first mating connector having a first conductive portion, (2) a second mating connector having a second conductive portion for electrically coupling to the first conductive portion, and (3) a housing unit with an interior chamber housing the second mating connector. In one embodiment of the invention, two apertures extend between the interior chamber and the housing unit'"'"'s exterior. In another embodiment of the invention, the first mating connector further has a wiping portion for cleaning a portion of the second mating connector adjacent to the second conductive portion.
In still another embodiment of the invention, the housing chamber further has a light source positioned near the aperture through which the first mating member enters to electrically couple the first and second conductive portions. In this embodiment, the first mating connector has a light covering portion for covering the light source when the first and second conductive portions couple. The embodiments of the medical connector apparatus described above can serve as electrode connectors for all types of defibrillators.
