An improved male luer connector assembly including a central elongated male luer connector tapering from a distal end to a locking collar disposed approximately at the mid-point of the connector. A recessed section is disposed between the first collar and a second collar. Locking teeth are disposed on a proximal face of the locking collar in spaced relation. A threaded lock nut is mountable on the male luer connector. An inner peripheral end wall of the lock nut surrounds the male luer connector and carries a ratchet at an inner end face thereof. In the connection of the male luer connector assembly to a complementary female threaded luer connector, the engaging teeth on the proximal face of the locking collar are drawn into engagement with the ratchet on the inner face of the lock nut to ensure and maintain a locking fluid-tight connection between said male luer connector assembly and the female luer connector.

An improved male luer connector assembly comprising: an elongated male luer connector having a fluid path extending therethrough; a locking ring having a proximal face, said locking ring being disposed on said male luer connector near the proximal end thereof; and a lock nut rotatably mounted on said male luer connector and overlying said ring, said lock nut having threads along the interior surface thereof for engaging complementary threads on a female luer connector, said ring having a plurality of teeth on said proximal face, and said lock nut including a ratchet on an inner distal face thereof for engaging said plurality of teeth of said ring, whereby to enable the connection of said male luer connector assembly to the complementary threaded female luer connector, said male luer connector is inserted into the threaded female luer connector, the threads of said lock nut engage the complementary threads of the female luer connector and the lock nut is rotated to drive the male luer connector into the female luer connector, while drawing the engaging teeth on the proximal face of the ring into engagement with the ratchet on the inner face of the lock nut, to assure a locking fluid-tight connection between said male luer connector assembly and the female luer connector.
