Abstract
A sterile cap assembly including first and second cap sections, the first cap section to be coupled to an opening of a first element and the second cap section to be coupled to an opening of a second element, upon the opening of the first element being separated from the opening of the second element. The first cap section includes a sterile engagement face exposed to an interior of the first element upon being coupled thereto and the second cap section including a sterile engagement face exposed to an interior of the second element upon being coupled thereto, the sterile engagement faces structured to be coupled with one another upon the opening of the first element being coupled to the opening of the second element, thereby maintaining the sterility of the sterile engagement faces.
Claims3
To be used to cover an opening in a first element and an opening in a second element wherein the opening in the first element is structured to be removably coupled with the opening in the second element, a sterile cap assembly comprising:
- a first cap section and a second cap section,
- said first cap section being structured to be matingly coupled to the opening of the first element, upon the opening of the first element being separated from the opening of the second element,
- said second cap section being structured to be matingly coupled to the opening of the second element, upon the opening of the first element being separated from the opening of the second element,
- said first cap section including a sterile engagement face structured to be exposed to an interior of said first element upon said first cap section being matingly coupled to the opening of the first element,
- said second cap section including a sterile engagement face structured to be exposed to an interior of said second element upon said second cap section being matingly coupled to the opening of the second element, and
- said sterile engagement face of said first cap section being structured to be selectively and matingly coupled with said sterile engagement face of said second cap section, upon the opening of the first element being coupled to the opening of the second element, so as to maintain sterility of said sterile engagement faces.
