ABSTRACT:
An improvement in the luer taper connectors used to join two fluid conduits, especially in medical applications. Construction of one, the other, or both luer taper members from a soft, resilient, elastomeric material makes it unnecessary to provide a separate threaded luer lock connection, thereby minimizing fluid leaks, thread stripping, cross-threading, infections and thrombus formation associated with rigid and semi-rigid luer taper connectors.
