Connector for a fluid line in an extracorporeal circuit
First Claim
1. A connector for a fluid line of an extracorporeal circuit, comprising a tubular body which internally defines a fluid passage, said tubular body having:
- at least a first connection port predisposed for coupling with said fluid line;
at least a second connection port configured to rotatably couple with a projection of an external element; and
at least a closure element of said second connection port, said closure element being openable towards an inside of said second connection port, said closure element having an open configuration wherein the closure element is positioned and squeezed between the projection of the external element and an internal lateral wall of the second connection port and is completely covered by the projection.

Abstract
The connector for a fluid line of an extracorporeal circuit comprises a tubular body which internally defines a fluid passage, a first connection port predisposed for coupling to the fluid line, a second connection port predisposed for coupling to a male Luer connector borne by an external element, and a closure element of the second connection port. The closure element is formed of a breakable membrane made in a single piece with the tubular body. On coupling, the membrane is broken by the truncoconical projection of the male Luer connector. The connector connects a service line of an extracorporeal circuit to a pressure sensor of a dialysis machine.
