摘要:
A protective safety cap assembly (12) for the passageway (30) of a medical device (14, 120) is provided. The safety cap assembly (12) includes a cap (36) that is guided for sliding and pivotable movement between an opened position where the proximal end (39) of the medical device (14, 120) is easily accessed and a closed position where the proximal end (39) of the medical device (14, 120) is sealed. The medical devices (14, 120) which can be protected by the cap assembly (12) include hypodermic syringes, stopcock assemblies associated with I.V. lines and catheters, or the like. A medical person holding the medical device (14, 120) in one hand can easily and repeatedly move the cap (36) between the opened and closed position with a thumb or forefinger of the hand holding the medical device.
