Cap for spout and modified spout

A body for small-bore connectors for liquids and/or gases in a healthcare application, the body comprising:

• a spout with an upper portion, an external thread on the upper portion, the body having an internal wall forming an internal void though which the liquids and/or gases flow, and in a filling flow direction a flow area of the internal wall forming an enlarged section of the internal void.

In a method for improving a standardized design of a body for small-bore connectors for liquids and/or gases in a healthcare application, the standardized design including a spout with a standardized upper portion, a standardized external thread on the standardized upper portion, and the body forming a standardized internal flange, the improvement including:

• forming an internal void though which the liquids and/or gases flow through the body, removing at least a portion of the standardized internal flange, increasing a flow area of the internal void, and reducing a flow restriction caused by the standardized internal flange.

A cap for closing a spout attached to a container, the cap comprising:

• the cap releasably connected to the spout, in a closed position of the cap with respect to the spout the cap forming a seal with respect to the spout, the cap having fixed external dimensions, and the cap having variable internal dimensions for accommodating a differently sized spout.
