Luer connector with screw connection to enable sharpened end to be driven through closure to enter vial

摘要

A luer connector has: a luer connectable to a syringe and which extends to a sharpened end capable of being driven through a puncturable vial closure to thereby puncture the closure; a luer support, mountable on a vial, and which initially supports the luer in a first position in which the sharpened end of the conduit is pointed toward the closure; a luer driver such that movement of the driver relative to the support causes the luer to be driven so that the sharpened end punctures the closure and enters the vial. The luer connector facilitates connection of a hypodermic syringe to the vial.
