Luer/Luer linear connector, single-use

Luer/Luer linear connectors are small, single-use tubular devices designed to join two hollow medical components—such as catheters, tubing, or containers—together in a straight or angled configuration. Their primary purpose is to create a secure, fluid pathway between devices without incorporating valves, filters, or other active components, ensuring safe and leak-free connections in clinical settings like IV therapy or insulin delivery.

These connectors are typically classified as non-powered and noninvasive, adhering to Luer standards for compatibility with compatible devices. They are generally supplied pre-sterilized and intended for one-time use, with regulatory oversight varying by jurisdiction but often requiring compliance with general medical device standards for connectors and single-use items.
