A drug transfer assembly (10) including a connector (14) connectable to a portion of an intravenous line adapted for connection to a patient's bloodstream and an adapter cap (30) removably connectable with the connector (14) is disclosed. The connector (14) is formed of a rigid material and the adapter cap (30) is formed of a pliable material. With the adapter cap (30) connected to the connector (14), the adapter cap (30) protectively surrounds and shields the connector (14). The adapter cap (30) provides a cushioning surface which prevents rubbing of the connector against the skin of a patient. In this manner, the adapter cap (30) prevents the connector (14) of a drug transfer assembly (10) from causing irritation and/or infection to the skin of a patient. Furthermore, the adapter cap (30) provides a protective shield which prevents the connector (14) of a drug transfer assembly from becoming contaminated with undesirables. |
