(EN) This medical connector is configured in such a manner that the body section of a valve element is disposed in a receiving recess formed within a housing. Connecting a male connector to a male connector connection section causes the male connector to push in the head of the valve element and contract the body section. As a result, a fluid flow passage within the male connector is made to communicate with a fluid flow passage within a medical instrument connection section through a fluid connection passage formed on the outside of the receiving recess, and the body section is covered by the receiving recess.
