PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a medical connector capable of suppressing an increase in the scale of a connector, and hardly causing falling of an elastic valve body.SOLUTION: A medical connector 100 comprises: a cylindrical housing part 101 having an insertion hole 111 into which a male connector is inserted and an elastic valve body 102 which is fixed to the housing part 101 so as to close the insertion hole 111. The elastic valve body 102 comprises a body 103, and a stopper member 104 which is formed of a material harder than a material of the body 103 and is embedded in the body 103. The body 103 comprises: a center part 121 on which a slit 121a is provided, and which is exposed from the insertion hole 111 and an outer edge part 123 surrounding the center part 121. The outer edge part 123 comprises: an embedding part 126 in which the stopper member 104 is embedded and a narrow part 127 which is provided more on the center part 121 side from the embedding part 126, is thinner than the embedding part 126, and is sandwiched between an upper side protrusion part and lower side protrusion part of the housing part 101.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3COPYRIGHT: (C)2017,JPO&INPIT【課題】コネクタが大型化しないようにしつつ弾性弁体が脱落しにくい医療用コネクタを実現できるようにする。【解決手段】医療用コネクタ100は、オスコネクタが挿入される挿入口111を有する筒状のハウジング部101と、挿入口111を閉塞するようにハウジング部101に固定された弾性弁体102とを備えている。弾性弁体102は、本体103と、本体103よりも硬質の材料により形成され、本体103に埋め込まれたストッパ部材104とを含む。本体103は、スリット121aが設けられ、挿入口111から露出した中央部121と、中央部121を囲む外縁部123とを有する。外縁部123は、ストッパ部材104が埋め込まれた埋め込み部126と、埋め込み部126よりも中央部121側に設けられ、埋め込み部126よりも厚さが薄く且つハウジング部101に挟み込まれた狭小部127とを有する。【選択図】図3
