ABSTRACT:
IV safety line connectors include a single piece male connector and a two piece female connector. The male connector has a luer on one end, one or more inwardly extending bayonet recesses on a middle portion and a reduced diameter second end enclosing a resilient septum. The female connector has a luer on one end and a two part receiving cylinder on the other with inwardly extending knobs. The luer and the first part of the cylinder are separated by a wall through which a hollow needle extends The connectors are mated by sliding the second end of the male connector into the receiving cylinder of the female connector with the knobs of the female connector being guided by the recesses of the male connector. The connectors are locked into place by bringing them together, and then rotating them such that knobs move past restrictions in the recesses and lock into place. The parts of the female connector are joined together by sonic welding or solvent bonding which is enhanced by providing one with a reduced inner diameter end and the other with a reduced outer diameter end so that the parts join in a male/female relationship. The ends of the two parts are preferably faceted to prevent relative rotation of the joined parts. The second part of the cylinder is advantageously color coded to identify the type or needle being carried.
