The nut cannot be permanently locked over the catheter and extension line.

I do not understand in particular the meaning of "over" here. Could somebody explain this sentence in other words?

In other words:

the nut cannot be permanently *connected to* the catheter and extension line.

Some info here (with a diagram):

More info can be obtained by googling "infusion catheters" and "central lines"
