Abstract: A septum (250, 300) for a medical connector (10) is described. The connector has an end to attach to a container (14) with a closure (20) and a piercing member (26, 76, 80) for piercing the closure. The septum comprises: a base (111, 302) having opposing first (251, 308) and second (253, 310) surfaces; a diaphragm (252, 304) extending from the second surface of the disk that is capable of forming a fluid tight seal with the closure; and an annular ridge (112, 306) extending from the second surface of the disk that is circumjacent the diaphragm and is capable of forming a second fluid tight seal with the closure.
