A cap is described for connection to a medical connector, the cap includes a housing having a top wall and sidewall forming a cavity, and an integrally formed protrusion. The protrusion includes an inner thread on an inner surface, the inner thread being sufficient to interlock with a mating feature of a female needleless connector. The inner surface of the protrusion defines a second cavity. The outer surface of the sidewall of the protrusion is tapered and adapted to engage a male luer connector in a press-fit connection. The second cavity configured to define a chamber to contain an absorbent material and disinfectant or antimicrobial agent. The cap may also include a peel seal to prevent the disinfectant or the antimicrobial agent from exiting the second cavity. An exterior sidewall surface of the housing may include a plurality of grip members.

A cap is described for connection to a needleless connector having an open lumen, the cap includes a housing having a top wall and sidewall forming a first cavity, an insert, an absorbent reservoir material and a sealing foam. The insert includes an inner thread on an inner surface, the inner thread being sufficient to interlock with a mating feature of a female needleless connector. The inner surface of the insert defines a second cavity. The protrusion/insert includes an outer thread on an outer surface, the outer thread being sufficient to interlock with a mating feature of a male needleless connector. The second cavity configured to define a chamber to contain an absorbent reservoir material, a sealing foam and disinfectant or antimicrobial agent.

A syringe assembly is provided comprising a syringe cylinder extending from an opening configured to receive a plunger to an end configured to couple with a needle and/or medical tubing, a plunger extending from one end to a seal end, and at least one cap configured to couple to the one end. A syringe assembly is provided comprising a syringe cylinder extending from an opening configured to receive a plunger to an end configured to couple with a needle and/or medical tubing, and a plunger extending from one end to a seal end, the one end of the plunger defining a recess configured to receive at least one cap.

Various embodiments of an antimicrobial insert for a stopcock medical connector are provided. More specifically, the present invention relates to an antimicrobial insert that is seated within at least a portion of the annular bore of the connector's tap, wherein fluid within the annular bore contacts the antimicrobial insert, thereby preventing microbial proliferation within the stopcock medical connector.

The present disclosure is directed to a device for delivering an antimicrobial composition into a medical device. Some embodiments disclosed herein provide a method for preventing infection and microbial ingress in medical device connections. The device includes a male connector with a distal tip and a recess at the distal tip. The surface of the recess includes an antimicrobial composition. In certain implementations a male luer comprises a tapered sealing member further comprising a recess containing chlorhexidine acetate.

A female-disinfecting cap and a method for applying the female-disinfecting cap. The cap threadingly accepts a needleless injection site, and applies an antiseptic agent to the needleless injection site. The cap includes a cap body with an opening for accepting the needleless injection site. The cap has an absorbent material that holds an antiseptic agent.
