Abstract

A catheter assembly comprising two elements each of which have a hub disposed at the proximal end thereof. The hubs are constructed so as to be complementary and rotatably engageable. When the hubs are engaged, the complementary construction of the hubs secures the axial alignment of the engaged hubs and inhibits an accidental rotational disengagement of the hubs.
