This should be the original article, based on the context I think it is similar or maybe even the same thing as a split septum. I would translate it as "setto membranoso" considering the context because I couldn't find a specific and direct translation in Italian
Peer comment(s):

agree Giuseppe Ciancia : It might also be translated as "setto in silicone" because a lot of needless connectors are made of this material (https://hadawayassociates.com/uploads/3/5/4/4/35447364/8551.... However, since there's no specific mention, a generic term is better

Schematic of the “Saralex-cl” antiseptic-barrier cap, including the needle-free port. When the cap is affixed to the membranous septal surface of the needleless connector (external injection port), the spike ruptures the antiseptic-filled capsule and the sponge becomes saturated with chlorhexidine and maintains continuous contact with the entire membranous injection-port septal surface.
