An improved, universally adaptable, medical intermediate connector having a large tubular opening at one end and a through passage running the length thereof, the body of the connector having a rectilinear cross section with plural planar sidewalls, one of the sidewalls having an extension with projecting fastening knobs and at least one of the sidewalls having a window therethrough, a resilient flexible and elongate strap selectively and adjustably attachable to the knobs and selectively extendable therefrom and returnable to the attachment knobs under tension. A cannula is secured to the body on the axis thereof and projects into the large tubular opening for communicating engagement with a septum inserted guidably into the tubular opening at one end and penetrable by the cannula. A luer socket is an axial extension of the body and communicates with the cannula via the passageway on the axis of the intermediate connector.
