International Classification:

A61M 39/16
A61M 39/20

Abstract:

A cap for disinfecting a needleless connector is described herein. The cap includes a housing having a cavity and an insert disposed within. The insert includes one or more cantilevered prongs disposed on a distal wall of the insert. The one or more cantilevered prongs are configured to bend upon insertion of the needleless connector. On an outer sidewall of the one or more cantilevered prongs are one or more ledges extending at essentially a right angle to the one or more cantilevered prongs, the one or more ledges being configured to push against the sidewall of the housing to resist further bending of the one or more cantilevered prongs upon advancement of the needleless connector.

A01N 47/44

Abstract:

A disinfection cap is described for connection to a medical connector, the disinfection cap includes a housing having a top wall and sidewall forming a cavity, disinfectant or antimicrobial agent and a ball disposed within the cavity. An outer surface of the housing includes a thread sufficient to interlock with a mating feature of a threaded connector, or more specifically a male luer connector. The cap may also include a peelable seal to prevent the disinfectant or the antimicrobial agent from exiting the cavity. The cavity of the cap may also include one or more ribs disposed on the inner surface of the cavity to retain the ball in the cavity, forming a flow channel as the ball is depressed further into the cavity. An exterior sidewall surface of the housing may include a plurality of grip members.
