Abstract

See full text

A high pressure medical connector tubing assembly includes a high pressure medical connector tubing assembly, including a tube element having opposed tube ends and a passageway, an end element overmolded to at least one of the opposed tube ends, the end element having an annular end portion having a preselected length, and a connector element having a connector hub defining a receiving cavity. The preselected length of the annular end portion may be used to pre-control the axial location of stress concentration in the connector hub. A method of forming the high pressure medical connector tubing assembly includes providing a tube element comprising opposed tube ends and a passageway therethrough, overmolding an end element onto at least one of the opposed tube ends, providing a connector element comprising a connector hub defining a receiving cavity, and securing the tube end with the overmolded end element in the receiving cavity.
