Advanced Medical Components
Medical Components Expertise
Nordson MEDICAL offers one of the most extensive ranges of plastic tubing connectors for medical applications, with more than 3,100 components available from stock.
Key product families include:
Quick connect fittings and quick-disconnect couplings
Sanitary fittings and medical couplers
Luer fittings and connectors
Non-luer alternatives and check valves
Tubing fittings and connectors up to 25.4 mm (1”) inner diameter
Connectors for joining plastic tubing to threaded ports
Blood pressure fittings and connectors
Bondable fittings and connectors for prototyping and design validation
In addition to standard products, custom component manufacturing is available to support specific device requirements, unique geometries, or specialised materials.
Single Barb Concept – Enhanced Connection Security
A key differentiator of Nordson MEDICAL connectors is the Single Barb Concept, designed to improve tubing retention and reduce leak risks.
Traditional multi-barb designs require parting lines during injection moulding, which can create potential leak paths that worsen over time as tooling wears.
By contrast, the Single Barb design eliminates these weaknesses, delivering:
Improved sealing integrity
Reduced risk of leakage
More consistent long-term performance
Increased reliability for critical medical applications
This approach is particularly valuable in single-use medical devices, where connection security is essential.
Specialist Luer and Non-Luer Connectors
Nordson MEDICAL offers a comprehensive range of luer connectors, available in multiple configurations, sizes, and materials.
All luer tapers comply with ISO 594-1 and are compatible with other ISO-standard luer devices.
Beyond traditional luers, Nordson MEDICAL has been a pioneer in the development of non-luer connectors compliant with ISO 80369-5, specifically designed for blood pressure measurement. This supports safer connections and helps reduce the risk of misconnections.
Available solutions include:
DINAMAP® (Critikon) connectors
HP-style bayonet connectors and adapters
BPF bayonet-style female quick-connect fittings
BPLF quarter-turn cuff connectors
Quick Connect Fittings for Medical Tubing
Nordson MEDICAL also provides a unique range of ergonomic push-to-connect fittings, including the MQC, SBL, and XQ series. These connectors are designed for:
Ease of use
Secure tubing retention without adhesives
Reliable performance over multiple connection cycles
Standard materials include nylon, polypropylene, and natural acetal, compatible with PVC, polyurethane, silicone, and many other flexible tubing materials.
For early-stage development and prototyping, Nordson MEDICAL offers solvent build-a-part components, enabling engineers to quickly test and refine connector designs before final specification.
