Luer Connectors

摘要

Luer connector including a primary Luer male connector, having a secondary female section extending from a top distal part of the primary Luer male connector back towards a proximal part thereof, the primary Luer male connector including a first inner fluid flow channel extending from a proximal end thereof to the secondary female section, the first inner fluid flow channel having a diameter of approximately d1 increasing at a connection point between the first inner fluid flow channel and the secondary female section to form a neck N the secondary female section having an internal diameter of d2 at a top distal part of the primary Luer male connector, where d1 is smaller than d2, the primary Luer male connector being configured to mate with a primary Luer female connector having a secondary male section including a second inner fluid flow channel ex having an internal diameter of approximately d1.

主权项

1. A connector for use in a respiratory gas sampling and/or delivery tubing systems, the connector comprising:
a primary female connector having a form of a tapered cone, wherein at its deepest point, the tapered cone inverts back into a secondary male section and returns into a void of said primary female connector, wherein said secondary male section comprises an outer wall and an inner wall, said inner wall being non-tapered thereby forming an inner fluid flow channel, of a diameter d1, extending along said secondary male section and along said female connector; wherein a distal end of said secondary male section is located within the void of said primary female connector, the void being defined by an interior bore of said primary female connector.
