Taps for Luer Lock Applications
What are Luer Lock syringe fittings?
Luer Lock syringe fittings are a type of medical connector used to attach needles and other devices to syringes. Named after inventor Karl Braun Luer, these fittings are characterized by their locking mechanism, which ensures a secure and leak‑proof connection.
The fitting consists of:
- Male connector – has a tapered end that fits snugly into the female connector.
- Female connector – has a threaded sleeve that screws onto the male end.
This design creates a tight seal that prevents leakage and keeps the device securely attached to the syringe.
Common Applications
Luer Lock syringe fittings are widely used in:
- Medical procedures – injections, blood transfusions, and intravenous (IV) medication administration.
- Laboratory settings – transfer of fluids and other materials in research and testing environments.
