DEVICE FOR DELIVERING AN ANTIMICROBIAL COMPOSITION INTO A MEDICAL DEVICE

Abstract

A male cap can include a male tapered outer surface that can be configured to mate with a female luer to create a fluid tight fit. The male cap can also include a water-soluble antimicrobial composition disposed on the male extension. The male cap can include a fluid-soluble, slower-dissolving material covering the water-soluble antimicrobial composition or incorporated within the water-soluble antimicrobial composition. The slower-dissolving material can be configured to slow a dissolution of the water-soluble antimicrobial composition during installation of the male cap into the female luer.
