Abstract
A connector has a connection port closed by a sealing member. The connection port is attached to a first body portion which in turn is connected to a second body portion by an elastic bellows. When a Luer connector is withdrawn from the port, the bellows first extends and then retracts creating an overpressure within the connector.
