Abstract
A syringe cap includes a hollow cap body and a hammer body fitted in a fitting body which in turn is fitted slideably in an end of the cap body for telescoping movement. The hammer body has a hitting end with a concaved surface facing a closed end of the fitting body which can be pierced by the needle. The needle bent by the concaved surface can engage permanently with the closed end so that the hammer body and the fitting body will never separate from the cap body.
