<p>A female tube connector (10) defining a tapered socket (16) having an open inner end communicating with the lumen of a tube (12), and a sealing cap (32) proportioned to close the connector (10) and to seal the tapered socket (16). The sealing cap (32) comprises a cap body (36) and a tapered projection (38) proportioned to sealingly fit within the tapered socket (16). The projection (38) is carried by the cap body (36) and extends beyond the cap body (36) by a distance to permit the projection (38) to substantially completely occupy the whole length of the tapered socket (38) when the cap (32) is closing the female connector (10). The projection (38) has an outer surface (40) that carries an antiseptic material, so that upon such closure the interior of the tube connector (10) can be sterilized between uses.</p> |
