Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A chest drain connector 204 comprising a first part 204a having an inlet connecting to an upstream portion 202a of a chest drain tube, a one way valve 207 and a first flange 213 surrounding the valve. A second part has an outlet 206 connecting to a downstream portion 202b of the chest tube, and a second flange 214 surrounding a hollow protrusion 209. The first and second parts are connectable by securing the first flange to the second flange such that the hollow protrusion passes through the valve to form an uninterrupted flow path from inlet to the outlet through the protrusion along a longitudinal axis 217 of the connector. The first and second flanges are separable by applying a longitudinal separation force above a defined threshold. The connector may be part of a kit including a collection vessel and a chest drain tube.
