Abstract
A retention feature configured to provide interference between a threaded connection of a Luer access device and a separate device, wherein the Luer access device further comprises a septum that provides a soft interfaced between the two threadedly connected devices. The retention features of the instant invention are designed to provide the user with a tactile sensation of a tightening threaded connection, despite a soft interface between the interconnected devices. The retention features of the instant invention further prevent 'spring back' and unintentional disengagement of the interconnected devices.
