The 6 degree tapered cone luer standard was developed in 1896. The first standard for luer applications for plastic products was published in 1955. Because the standard is understood worldwide and results in economical, reliable and inexpensive components, it is employed in thousands of medical devices worldwide.

Value Plastics luer tapers are made to the ISO 594-1 standard, and may be connected to other luers meeting ISO standards.

If your application requires mating components from multiple suppliers, please test your application to verify the performance of the interconnection as other manufacturers’ products may not meet the international standard.
