CA 2675708

A pair of nestable caps are disclosed, each of the caps being sized and shaped to provide a protective union about a separated medical connector. The pair comprises a male cap and a female cap, each of which is configured to be adjoined to a complimentary cap to form a nested pair. The nested pair is sealed until separated for use, thereby maintaining sterility of the internal surfaces of the nested pair. An absorbent pad may be impregnated with antiseptic agent and enclosed within the pair to further enhance resulting sterility of each cap as it is used about a medical connector. One of the caps can include a scrubbing chamber having a disposable liner, a pad, and an antiseptic agent. Further, a pliable tube containing a frangible capsule may be coupled to one of the caps to provide antiseptic solution internal to the caps.

L'invention concerne une paire de coiffes emboîtables, chaque coiffe étant dimensionnée et façonnée de manière à former un ensemble de protection autour d'un raccord médical séparé. La paire comprend une coiffe mâle et une coiffe femelle conçues l'une et l'autre pour s'adjoindre à une coiffe complémentaire et former une paire emboîtée. La paire emboîtée est étanchéifiée jusqu'à sa séparation pour usage, ce qui préserve la stérilité de ses surfaces internes. Un tampon absorbant peut être imprégné d'un agent antiseptique et enfermé dans la paire pour renforcer davantage la stérilité résultante de chaque coiffe lorsque celle-ci est placée autour d'un raccord médical. Une des coiffes peut comprendre une chambre de lavage comprenant une doublure jetable, un tampon et un agent antiseptique. En outre, un tube pliable contenant une capsule frangible peut être associé à l'une des coiffes pour libérer une solution antiseptique à l'intérieur des coiffes.
