A cap assembly for closing an opening in a vessel may include a stopper and a rigid cap adapted to fit over the stopper and onto a vessel. The stopper may include a polymer body adapted to fit an opening of the vessel and a tubular portion defining an internal passageway extending through the polymer body. The rigid cap may include a pressure based locking mechanism adapted to engage the vessel under a unidirectional force and a tamper evident feature.

Cap assembly

The present application is directed to cap assemblies and particularly, cap assembly for closing an opening in a vessel, the cap assembly including a stopper including an polymer body adapted to fit an opening of a vessel, the stopper also including a tubular portion which defines an internal passageway extending through the polymer body; and a rigid cap attached to and integral with the stopper, wherein the cap is adapted to engage the vessel and provide a sealing force between the stopper and the vessel.

A leak-proof fluid transfer assembly including a thermoplastic tube, a thermoset tube, and connector coupling the thermoplastic tube and the thermoset tube, where the fluid transfer assembly is adapted to maintain a substantially leak-proof fluid connection between the thermoplastic tube and the thermoset tube after autoclave sterilization.

Fluid transfer assembly

The present application is directed to closure assemblies, and particularly closure assemblies for closing an opening in a vessel. In particular embodiments, the closure assemblies described herein can have a first ring having a top surface, an inner surface and an outer surface, wherein the outer surface comprises threading, wherein the first ring comprises a first flange having a top surface extending radially inward from the inner surface of the first ring a distance of F, and wherein the top surface of the first flange is spaced apart from the top surface of the first ring by a distance F, and wherein a ratio of F:Fis greater than 1.
