Title: Removable locking connector for Luer fittings

Abstract: Removable connector for locking Luer fittings together, comprising a cylindrical sleeve having internal threads toward the ends thereof for engaging external threads on male and female Luer fittings. In one particularly preferred embodiment, the internal thread for receiving the female fitting is substantially coarser than the internal thread for receiving the male fitting, and the thread on the female fitting is an interrupted thread. The connector sleeve can be mounted on the male fitting, and the female fitting can then be quickly connected or disconnected by a small turn of the female fitting.
