The luer connector comprises a rigid housing having a first end and a second end. The housing further includes a rigid tubular male portion at the first end, a rigid tubular female portion at the second end, and a longitudinal opening therethrough. The male portion is configured to be engageable with the female connector. The female portion is configured to be engageable with the male connector and configured to prevent the male connector from disengaging from the female portion. In some embodiments, the female portion maintains a fixed rotational position when the male connector is screwed with it, but prevents the male connector from being unthreaded from the female portion. It is configured to rotate with the male connector after the connector is fully engaged with the female portion. |
