Torsional connector coupling assembly

A coupler including a first connector having a mating portion with a first opening, and a first torsion member disposed within the mating portion with a first channel. The first torsion member being rotatable relative to the mating portion. The coupler including a second connector having a second torsion member with a second channel, and a coupling portion having a second opening and at least partially disposed within the second torsion member. The second torsion member configured to couple to the first torsion member to couple the first connector to the second connector such that rotation of the second torsion member causes rotation of the first torsion member to cause alignment of the first channel, the first opening, the second channel, and the second opening to form a fluid pathway. The first connector is configured to decouple from the second connector in response to a force exceeding a threshold force.

Genderless aseptic connector

A genderless aseptic connector system in which a plurality of connectors of substantially identical configuration each include connector housing having an internal surface defining a fluid passage between a connector end and connector housing face having an annular seal and a membrane positioned to cover the annular seal, wherein, upon engagement of a first connector housing and a second connector housing along a common juncture, a first membrane and a second membrane when correspondingly removed from a first annular seal coupled to the first connector housing and a second annular seal coupled to the second connector housing allow the first annular seal to engage the second annular seal to provide a sterile fluid passage.
