A small, non-powered, noninvasive, linear Luer connector intended to connect between a percutaneous catheter (e.g., intravenous (IV) catheter, nephrostomy catheter) and external tubing (e.g., drainage tubing, IV line) to facilitate safe disconnection if excessive tension is placed on the catheter or tubing (e.g., unintentional tugging or pulling). The safe disconnection feature/force activated separation mechanism is designed to reduce patient injury and includes valves to prevent fluid loss and contamination. This is a single-use device.
