PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide safety luer connection capable of minimally suppressing a risk of misconnection of male and female type luers or having no risk of the misconnection, and without requiring an additional step by hospital personnel to avoid misconnections.SOLUTION: A connection device 10 has a male connector 12 and a female connector 26. The female connector will only accommodate the dedicated male connector, thereby prohibiting a misconnection with a wrong male connector. In certain embodiments, a member 36 prohibits male connectors, other than a dedicated male connector, from being inserted into the female connector. In certain other embodiments, a post prohibits male connectors, other than a dedicated male connector including a slot, from being inserted into the female connector. In still certain other embodiments, a series of prongs in the male connector and corresponding grooves in the female connector ensure the proper connection. Once the male connector is inserted and secured within the female connector, a fluid-tight seal is formed between the male connector and the female connector. |
