Abstract
A fluid transfer system includes a Luer female connector having a main body containing an internal channel for passage of fluids and a collar surrounding at least a part of the end of the main body, and a Luer male connector having a main body with a longitudinal internal opening. The main body of the female connector contains a first threading on at least a part of the external surface of that portion that is surrounded by the collar, located at least in part facing an internal surface of the collar; one of the ends of the main body of the Luer male connector contains a second threading on at least a part of its internal surface delineating the longitudinal internal opening, which engages into and fits in the first threading to ensure joining between the Luer male and female connectors.
