Abstract
An intravenous tubing cap for sealing the end of a male tubing coupling or a female tubing coupling is provided by a plug having a tapered male fitting at one end being backed against a tapered female fitting at the other end. The plug may be molded in one piece with the back of the male portion forming a contiguous part of the female portion. Preferably, a serrated protective skirt around the male fitting provides a surface by which the cap may be grasped.
