Abstract
A connector (10) for attachment to a catheter (14) includes a fitting (16) with a plurality of resilient fingers (22) extending from one end thereof in surrounding relationship with an axial bore (18). A tapered bore (20) is provided at the opposite end of the fitting (16) for receiving the tip of a syringe (12). A slidable ring (34) is mounted on the fingers (22) for irreversible movement from an unlocked position to a locked position wherein the connector (10) and catheter (14) are secured together. In the preferred embodiment, a protective boot (40) is mounted on the locking ring (34) to provide stress relief between the catheter (14) and the connector (10).
