ABSTRACT:
A female luer connector comprises a tube having an open, outer end in a luer-tapered bore communicating with the outer end. The tube carries a side arm that from a positioned spaced longitudinally from the open, outer end, with the side arm extending both radially outwardly from the tube and in generally longitudinal relationship with the axis of the bore toward the open, outer end, to define a space between the tube and the side arm for receiving an outer, threaded sleeve of a male luer lock connector. A cap is connected to the side arm through a plastic hinge in a position permitting the cap to pivot between a closed position in which the cap closes the open, outer end, and an open position in which the cap is spaced from the open, outer end. The side arm defines an effectively rigid, fixed configuration to position the hinge and cap to naturally and spontaneously permit pivoting to the closed position to the open position, typically upon pressing with a single finger.
