Sealing Cap for a Syringe Tip

A sealing cap for a syringe comprising a syringe barrel defining a reservoir for containing a medicament and a distal tip having a passageway in fluid communication with the reservoir, the sealing cap comprising:

• a housing having an open proximal end, a distal end, and a sidewall extending from the proximal end to the distal end and defining a cavity;
• and
• a sealing insert received within the cavity of the housing,
• wherein the housing comprises a connection portion and an insert-engagement portion, and the sealing insert comprises a tip-engagement portion, and a housing-engagement portion,
• the housing-engagement portion of the sealing insert is received within the insert-engagement portion of the housing, and the tip-engagement portion of the sealing insert is received within the connection portion of the housing,
• an annular protrusion extends radially inwardly from the sidewall of the housing and is received in an annular groove positioned between and connecting the housing-engagement portion of the sealing insert and the tip-engagement portion of the sealing insert,
• an annular locking rib extends around an outer periphery of a proximal end of the sealing insert and is positioned proximally beyond the proximal end of the housing, and
• the engagement of the annular protrusion of the housing and the groove of the sealing insert and the engagement between the proximal end of the housing and the locking rib of the sealing insert hold the sealing insert within the housing.
