Abstract

A connector for medical devices includes a housing having an interlock member and two types of luer nuts. One type of luer nut has an interlock member complementary to the interlock member on the housing to prevent rotation of the luer nut about the housing, while another type of luer nut lacks a complementary interlock member, allowing free rotation of the luer nut relative to the housing.
