Syringe tip caps are described herein. Such syringe tip caps may include a cup, a cap, a locking feature, a peelable seal and an absorbent material. The cap having locking features and a chamber appropriately sized to adapt to and interlock with an annular wall of the cup.

Integrated disinfection device

A thermoplastic elastomer stopper that meets the desired material properties of a stopper for a syringe assembly is disclosed. The compression set of the thermoplastic elastomer stopper of the present disclosure is &#x2264;50% when measured at 25% compression for 22 hrs at 70 degree C. The hardness of the thermoplastic elastomer stopper of the present disclosure is 40-70 Shore A. The viscosity of a thermoplastic elastomer stopper of the present disclosure is &#x2265;70 Pa&#xb7;s at 1,000 sshear rate, &#x2265;12.0 Pa&#xb7;s at 10,000 sshear rate, and &#x2265;3.0 Pa&#xb7;s at 50,000 sshear rate when measured using a capillary rheometer at 205 degree C. (Die: Roundhole 20 mm length/1 mm diameter/180 degree inlet, Piston: d=15 mm, and melting time=7 min). The present non-lubricated stopper exhibits the required functional performance of a lubricated stopper.

Leak-free stopper having low breakloose and sustaining forces
