Abstract
A tip cap including a central body extending between a first end and a second end. The first end includes a syringe coupling and the second end can include a projection or pivot. In example embodiments, axial engagement of an end connector of a syringe with the syringe coupling self-connects the tip cap with the end connector of the syringe while rotating about the pivot. According to example embodiments, a flange extends outwardly from the central body to define a width or side-to-side dimension. In example embodiments, the minimum side-to-side dimension is about 1.25 inches.
