Abstract Described are improvements to components of fluid transfer apparatuses comprising a first component, e.g. a syringe, a connector component 5 configured to connect between the first component and an adapter component that is configured to allow connection of the connector component to a second component of the drug transfer apparatus, e.g. to a drug vial. The improvements include inter alia: changes to the sealing elements that seal the proximal end of the syringe, redesign of a septum 10 holder inside the connector component and corresponding redesign of the housing of the connector component; changes to the structure of the end of the connector component that connects to the first component to allow the first component to swivel relative to the connector component; and changes to the design of the adapter component to a second component of the drug 15 transfer apparatus to allow it to mate with the redesigned housing of the connector component.
