AZURING™: the blue ring that seals

CLINIMED AZURING blue silicone O-ring on a male luer lock tip

AZURING™ is a small blue O-ring built into the tip of CLINIMED's machined male luer locks. It is a CLINIMED design and you will only find it on CLINIMED devices.

Why a luer connection needs it

A standard luer lock seals on a metal-to-plastic taper. During a case that joint is handled and twisted, and on power-assisted systems it is vibrated constantly. Over time a plain taper can loosen, and a loose luer can weep tumescent fluid or lose vacuum.

AZURING™ adds a soft seal at the tip. When you connect a female luer, the ring is compressed between the two parts. It is designed to give:

  • Less vibration at the joint, so the connection stays put
  • A tighter, more positive fit you can feel as you lock it
  • Less leakage between the male and female luer

Made for the operating room

  • Medical-grade silicone
  • Fully autoclavable, reprocessed with the device
  • Blue, so you can see at a glance that it is in place
  • Fits any standard female luer connector

Where you will find it

AZURING™ comes on these CLINIMED devices:

Care

Check that the blue ring is seated and undamaged before each use. Clean and sterilize the device according to the CLINIMED Instructions for Use; the ring stays in place and is autoclaved with it. If the ring is cracked, flattened or missing, contact info@clinimed.us.
