Abstract

A medical device is presented, which includes a fluid pathway and a septum slidably housed within the fluid pathway. The septum can be opened by a septum actuator disposed in a fixed position within the fluid pathway. In some examples, both the septum actuator and the septum have at least one surface exposed to the fluid pathway. An anti-pathogenic material can be applied to these surfaces.
