USPTO Abstract

A medical container and pharmaceutical product include a chamber containing a medical fluid and a connector secured to the chamber. The connector includes a connector element extending between a first end and a second end, and an inner lumen is defined between the first end and the second end. The connector element includes a fastening section, a pinch-off section extending from the fastening section, a head section extending from the pinch-off section, and a deflection element. The head section includes a locking rim and another rim that extends radially beyond the locking rim. The deflection element is directly connected to and extends from the another rim. The deflection element terminates at an end that extends into a portion of the inner lumen defined by the pinch-off section to protect the pinch-off section without hindering pinching of the pinch-off section.
