Abstract

A connector for connecting a medical injection device, including a barrel and a needle extending from a distal tip of the barrel, to a container including a septum includes an inner deformable cover and an outer rigid cover. The inner deformable cover extends along a cover axis and includes a proximal connection part configured to engage the distal tip of the barrel and a distal portion. The outer rigid cover encloses the inner deformable cover and includes a distal adaptor configured to engage the container. The outer cover is configured so the needle tip extends into the distal adaptor when the proximal connection part of the inner deformable cover engages the distal tip of the barrel. The outer rigid cover is fixed to the inner deformable cover. The inner deformable cover is compressible between a relaxed configuration and a compressed configuration.
