FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: group of inventions refers to medical equipment, is applicable for fluid management and characterises a male needle-free connector, a male medical connector and a method for forming a male needle-free connector. The male needle-free connector comprises a body forming a first portion of a fluid canal, a tubular element, a sleeve and a sealing element. The tubular element in the distal direction from the first portion and forms a second portion of the fluid canal. The tubular element has a fluid opening at its distal end. The sleeve and the sealing element encloses the tubular element at least partially. The tubular element can move forward relative to the tubular element. The connector provides a closed configuration and an opened configuration. The male medical connector used together with the male needle-free connector comprises a central flow passage and a ring flow passage. The method for forming the male needle-free connector comprises forming the body forming the first portion of the fluid passage; forming the above tubular element; placing the sleeve in the pre-set position and placing the above sealing element enclosing the tubular element at least partially and moving forward relative to the tubular element.
EFFECT: inventions enable transfer the fluids into a human body without multiple needle punctures.
