A retractable post extends through the fluid path in the male luer sealing a tip of the male luer thereby closing the fluid path when the connector is not activated. Barbs extend along the exterior of the male luer and connect to the retractable post, wherein when the connector is activated, the barbs force the retractable post away from the tip of the male luer thereby opening the fluid path through the medical connector. A retention member applies force to the post to force the post to seal the tip of the male luer when the medical connector is not activated.8/12 100 205 --- 206 646a 646b FIG. 7 <; 21-213b 208 x 216 222 26217 226 701 704 703 700
