MEDICAL VALVE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a medical valve capable of surely switching from a blocking state to a communicating state with high reliability by a simple and compact structure. SOLUTION: The medical valve has a valve body 54 made of an elastic body while a work hole 70 penetrating in an axial direction is formed in the valve body 54, and a communicating path is formed under a condition of that the valve body 54 is mounted on a fluid path, where the fluid path communicates with at least one of the outer peripheral surface of the valve body 54 and the work hole 70. Meanwhile, an operation member 56 is assembled and attached to the valve body 54 by one of an inner insertion to the work hole 70 and an outer insertion to the outer peripheral surface. The operation member 56 exerts an engaging external force in a direction perpendicular to the valve body 54 in order to disappear the communicating path and holds the fluid path under a blocking state while the operation member is relatively displaced to the valve body 54 in the axis direction and it causes that the engaging external force to the valve body 54 to be released and the communicating path to be changed to the communicating state.
