No product defined
No product defined in this category.
Luer-lock IV extension tubing provides a standardized, secure connection between IV catheters, primary administration sets, syringes, and infusion devices. The threaded luer-lock design helps prevent accidental disconnection and leakage while maintaining compatibility with a wide range of IV components used in hospitals, clinics, and home infusion settings.
This category includes a broad selection of extension sets built around male and female luer-lock connections. Configurations range from simple single-segment extensions to sets with integrated needle-free valves, Y-sites, manifolds, and filters. By selecting the appropriate luer-lock extension, clinicians can create flexible yet secure line setups that support reliable medication delivery and convenient access at the bedside.

Where Luer-Lock Extension Tubing Is Used
Luer-lock extension tubing is used across all areas of IV therapy delivery, including hospitals (from emergency departments to intensive care units), outpatient infusion centers, oncology clinics, long-term care facilities, and home infusion programs. These extensions help protect catheter hubs, reduce line manipulation at the insertion site, and support flexible pump and tubing configurations while maintaining a secure, closed system.
