Abstract

See full text

The various embodiments include a tubular member having an outlet. A sealing member provides a selective seal over the outlet. When the male connector is connected to a female connector, the tubular member establishes fluid communication between the connectors. In certain embodiments, fluid communication between the connectors may be interrupted even while the connectors are still connected. When the male connector is disconnected from the female connector, the sealing member reestablishes a seal over the outlet.
