PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a medical connector which enables the connection of a medical connecting tool thereto without a need to use a special connector, does not make shapes and assembling processes complicated, and does not have a stepped portion formed between a valve and an upper surface of a housing, and a method of manufacturing the same.SOLUTION: A medical connector 1 includes a disk-shaped valve member 2 having a slit 21 in a central part, a cylindrical housing 3 which can hold a circumferential edge part of the valve member 2, and a ring member 4 disposed on a circumferential edge of an upper part other than the central part of the valve member 2. In the medical connector 1, the housing 3 has a pedestal 31 which is provided on an inner circumferential surface to protrude inward so that the valve member 2 can be placed, and the valve member 2 is fixed to the inside of the housing 3 by joining the ring member 4 and the housing 3 after the valve member 2 is placed on the pedestal 31 inside the housing 3.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】専用のコネクタを用いる必要なく医療用接続具が接続可能であり、また形状や組み立て工程が複雑になることなく、さらに弁とハウジングの上面に段差が形成されない医療用コネクタおよびその製造方法を提供する。【解決手段】中央部にスリット21を有するディスク状の弁部材2と、弁部材2の周縁部を挟持しうる略筒状のハウジング3と、弁部材2の中央部分を除く上部の周縁に配置されるリング部材4を有してなる医療用コネクタ1であって、ハウジング3は内周面に内方向へ突出するよう設けられた弁部材2を戴置しうる台座31を備えており、弁部材2がハウジング3内の台座31上に戴置された後にリング部材4とハウジング3が接合されることにより、弁部材2がハウジング3内に固定されてなることを特徴とする医療用コネクタ1である。【選択図】図2
