The Luer Lock system is a globally standardised connectorsystem (ISO 80369-7 and related standards) that ensures compatibility across manufacturers. Male and female parts are connected through a conical fitcombined with a thread-based locking mechanism. This dual function guarantees secure connections, reduces the risk of leaks, and prevents accidental disconnection during use.
In contrast to Luer Slip, where components are simply pushedtogether, the Luer Lock uses a secure twist-lock. This makes it particularly safe for applications under pressure. While Luer Slip may allow quicker connection and disconnection, it carries a higher risk of leakage and disconnection. The Luer Lock system offers greater reliability in clinical, laboratory, and high-pressure settings.
Luer Lock syringes are available in a wide range of sizes,from small-volume precision syringes to larger capacities. They aremanufactured in single-use and reusable versions, with different materials adapted to specific applications. Needles are available with Luer Lock hubs, allowing a secure and leak-free connection to the syringe.
The product range also includes a wide selection of maleLuer Lock adapters and female Luer Lock fittings. Straight connectors,reducers, elbows, and hose barb adapters make it possible to configure fluid pathways in a flexible way. This modular system ensures that users can always assemble the right combination of components for their setup.
Beyond standard connectors, MedNet’s portfolio includes stopcocks, valves, and safety caps for more specialised applications. High-pressure lines and components made from stainless steel, brass, or DEHP-free plastics are also available. These options ensure reliableperformance even under demanding conditions.
Selecting the right Luer Lock component depends on several factors: the choice of material and compatibility with sterilization methods, the gender and type of connection (male or female), pressure resistance and leak tightness, inner diameters that influence flow rates, and whether the product is intended for single-use or multiple use.
To guarantee safe use, it is important to select components that comply with ISO standards or equivalent requirements. Compatibility across manufacturers should be checked, and certified biocompatibility should be confirmed, especially for clinical use. Choosing the right combination ensures reliability and patient safety.
