Axially engaging medical connector system that inhibits fluid penetration between mating surfaces
A connector system for medical fluid includes a male connector and a female connector that have a closed configuration when detached from one another. The first end of the male connector is configured to mate with a first end of the female connector. When the male connector is coupled with the female connector, complementary structures engage to move seals away from ports in the male connector and the female connector, opening a fluid pathway through the connectors. The mating ends of the connectors are not exposed to the medical fluid when the connectors are coupled so that when the connectors are disconnected, the mating ends are substantially free of residual medical fluid.
Single-use genderless aseptic fluid couplings
Some fluid coupling devices described herein are configured for use in fluid systems. For example, some embodiments described in this document are single-use, aseptic fluid coupling devices that can be coupled to create a sterile flow path therethrough. Some such aseptic couplings are genderless couplings such that two identical aseptic couplings can be coupled together.
Medical coiled tubing
Disclosed herein are sterilized medical coiled tubing and process for producing the same. One process comprises: helically winding a length of the medical tubing along a mandrel such that adjacent turns of the medical tubing are in contact with each other; applying solvent where the turns of the medical tubing contact each other to produce coiled medical tubing; allowing the solvent to dry; removing the medical tubing from the mandrel after the solvent has dried; and subjecting the medical tubing to a sterilization process using ethylene oxide with in-chamber aeration.

ASEPTIC PIERCING SYSTEM AND METHOD
The present disclosure provides aseptic vial piercing and sterilization systems, and methods of assembling, using and sterilizing same. The systems and methods utilize a pre-sterilized primary container including a first end, a first cavity, a second end with an opening in communication with the first cavity, a septum at least partially sealing the opening, and a product within the first cavity. The systems and methods include an injection assembly including a first end portion of a hollow flowpath forming member. The injection assembly and the primary container may be assembled in a non-sterile environment to form a second cavity extending about the first end portion of the flowpath forming member and to the primary container. The second cavity may then be selectively sterilized in a non-deleterious manner to the product to allow the first end portion to aseptically pierce the septum to extend into the first cavity.
