Abstract
A male or female orientated medical tubing or syringe connector that can be selectably locked in a threaded configuration or a breakaway configuration. The male connector includes opposing threaded sections and opposing non-threaded sections. The opposing threaded sections allow for the male connector's fully or partially threaded female counterpart to be screwed into place on attachment and unscrewed on detachment. The opposing unthreaded sections of the male connector allow for its partially threaded female counterpart to be engaged via a friction fit connection that does not require a screwing action. The male connector's opposing unthreaded sections also allows for its partially threaded female counterpart to be disengaged via a pulling force in the opposite direction of the male connector, which does not require an unscrewing action. This 'breakaway' functionality helps to prevent patient harm if the patient's tubing becomes snagged.
