Abstract
Systems for connecting a conduit to an injection needle may include a sealing element positioned on a distal end of the conduit, a first cooperating connector positioned around the length of conduit proximal to the sealing element and a second cooperating connector. The first cooperating connector includes a first cooperating connection mechanism and the second cooperating connector includes a second cooperating connection mechanism having a passage therein. The first cooperating connection mechanism and the second cooperating connection mechanism are adapted to form a connection between the first cooperating connector and the second cooperating connector. The connection causes the compression of the sealing element. The injection needle has a lumen with a diameter flared outward to a larger diameter at a proximal end. The second cooperating connector has a mounting hole connected to the passage and a sleeve around the injection needle so that the sleeve and the injection needle are received within the mounting hole.
