Saf-T Holder Male Luer Lock Adaptor 96000 Box of 50 by Smiths Medical

Description

Product Overview

The 96000 Saf‑T Holder male Luer lock adaptor is engineered by Smiths Medical ASD, Inc. to meet the rigorous demands of dialysis and broader laboratory applications. Constructed from high‑grade medical‑grade polymer, each adaptor offers a robust, leak‑free seal that maintains fluid integrity under pressure. The adaptor conforms to standard Luer lock dimensions, ensuring universal compatibility with syringes, catheters, and tubing commonly used in renal replacement therapy. Package dimensions measure 10 × 10 × 10 inches, weighing approximately one pound, and the box contains 50 individually wrapped units for easy inventory management. The product’s model number, 96000, is clearly marked on each unit, providing traceability for quality control and regulatory compliance. Since its introduction on April 26 2018, the Saf‑T Holder has earned a solid reputation within the industrial and scientific community, reflected in its ranking as #52 in Dialysis Supplies on Amazon.

Beyond basic functionality, the adaptor incorporates a precision‑engineered male Luer lock thread that resists cross‑threading and minimizes wear over repeated connections and disconnections. The design includes a smooth, rounded tip that reduces the risk of tissue trauma when used in clinical settings, while the internal sealing surface is optimized for low dead‑space, preserving medication volume and reducing waste. The product’s durability is further enhanced by a UV‑stabilized formulation that resists degradation from ambient light exposure, extending shelf life even in environments with fluctuating lighting conditions. All components are manufactured in the United States, adhering to ISO‑13485 standards for medical device quality management.

Usage

These adaptors are ideally suited for a range of dialysis procedures, including hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and continuous renal replacement therapy. Their secure lock mechanism ensures that fluid pathways remain sealed during high‑flow operations, preventing accidental disconnections that could compromise patient safety. In addition to renal applications, the adaptors perform reliably in laboratory protocols that require precise fluid handling, such as sample preparation, reagent mixing, and analytical testing. The compact size and lightweight construction make them easy to incorporate into portable kits for field use, enabling clinicians and researchers to maintain consistent performance whether they are working in a hospital intensive care unit, a community clinic, or a mobile laboratory.

Installation is straightforward: simply align the male Luer lock threads with the corresponding female connector, apply gentle clockwise pressure, and the adaptor will snap into place with an audible click. No additional tools or adhesives are required, reducing setup time and minimizing the potential for contamination. The adaptors are compatible with standard 1 mL, 5 mL, 10 mL, and larger syringes, allowing flexibility across a wide range of dosing volumes. For environments that demand rapid turnover, the pack of 50 provides a ready supply that can be drawn from a sterile field without interrupting workflow.

Design and Materials

The adaptor’s body is molded from a high‑performance polymer that combines flexibility with strength, allowing it to absorb minor impacts without cracking. The material is certified biocompatible, meeting USP Class II requirements for devices that come into direct contact with patients. The external surface is finished with a matte texture that provides a secure grip, even when gloved, while the internal sealing surface is polished to a tolerance of ±0.02 mm, guaranteeing a tight seal across a broad range of connector sizes. The design incorporates a tapered entry that guides fluid flow smoothly, minimizing turbulence and shear forces that could affect delicate biological samples.

Quality Assurance

Every adaptor undergoes a multi‑stage quality assurance process. Initial inspections verify dimensional conformity using laser‑based metrology. Subsequent functional testing subjects each unit to a pressure cycle of up to 300 psi, confirming that the seal remains intact without leakage. Finally, a visual inspection checks for surface defects, such as scratches or discoloration, that could compromise performance. All test data are logged in a secure database, providing full traceability from raw material batch to finished product.

Compatibility

The Saf‑T Holder is compatible with all standard Luer lock components, including syringes ranging from 1 mL to 60 mL, infusion sets, and dialysis tubing. Its universal thread geometry eliminates the need for multiple adaptor types, simplifying inventory management and reducing the risk of using an incorrect component. The adaptor also works seamlessly with both male and female connectors when paired with appropriate conversion kits, expanding its utility across a variety of clinical and research applications.

Packaging and Shipping

Each box of 50 adaptors is sealed in a moisture‑resistant, tamper‑evident pouch that maintains sterility until the point of use. The outer carton is printed with clear labeling that includes the model number, manufacturing date, and regulatory compliance symbols. Shipping is handled via a climate‑controlled logistics network to preserve product integrity, and we provide tracking information for every order, ensuring timely delivery to hospitals, laboratories, and distributors worldwide.

Customer Support

Our dedicated support team is trained to address technical queries, provide installation guidance, and assist with regulatory documentation. We offer a comprehensive online knowledge base that includes troubleshooting guides, compatibility charts, and best‑practice videos.
