Abstract
Needleless access port valves are generally discussed herein with particular discussions extended to needleless access port valves comprising a resilient valve body. The resilient valve body includes a tapered set port that stretches when a plug is pushed by a medical implement which in turn pushes the set port. Pushing the plug against the set port opens fluid communication between the inlet port and the outlet port. Upon removal of the medical implement, the resilient valve body pushes the plug back to its closed position.
