Closure assembly for a medical connector

A closure assembly structured to be attached in flow restricting relation to a medical connector, said closure assembly comprising:

• a housing assembly comprising a closure sleeve including an access opening,
• a cap including a base and a flow restricting portion disposed on an interior of said cap;
• said cap operatively disposed in removable, flow restricting attachment to the medical connector,
• said cap including a plurality of segments collectively defining a sidewall of said cap;
• said plurality of segments movably connected to said base,
• said plurality of segments movable between an open orientation and a closed orientation relative to said flow restricting portion and said base,
• said closed orientation comprising said plurality of segments disposed in retaining relation with the medical connector when said medical connector is disposed in said flow restricting attachment with said cap, and
• said plurality of segments collectively and cooperatively dimensioned with said access opening to force concurrent movement of said plurality of segments from said open orientation to said closed orientation, upon passage of said cap through said access opening, into said housing assembly.
