What is a Luer connector?

A Luer connector is a standardized fitting used in medical and laboratory applications to connect syringes, needles, and other devices securely and leak-free. It typically comes in two variations: Luer lock, which has a threaded mechanism for a secure attachment, and Luer slip, which allows for a friction fit. This design enables easy and quick interchangeability of components, facilitating safe fluid transfer in various procedures. Luer connectors are essential in ensuring compatibility and reliability in medical devices.
