摘要：A cleaning device for a site of a medical implement is disclosed. The cleaning device can include a cap having an opening to an inner cavity, and the opening can be adapted to receive a site of the medical implement. The inner cavity can include a male luer protrusion that extends up from an inner wall toward the opening, and can be sized and adapted for insertion into a female luer when the cap is provided on the medical implement. The cleaning device can further include a cleaning material that contains a cleaning agent prior to receipt of the site of the medical implement, i.e. the cleaning material is pre-loaded with the cleaning agent, to swab and clean the site with the cleaning agent. The cap can further include a friction-forming member for creating a friction-based fitting of the cap onto the site of the medical implement.

主权项：1. A cleaning device for a female port having a lumen, the cleaning device comprising: a cap having an opening to a single inner cavity, the single inner cavity including a non-compressible, upwardly directed protrusion extending up from an inner wall of the inner cavity toward the opening but not extending beyond the opening, the opening to receive a portion of the female port, the non-compressible, upwardly directed protrusion having a frustoconical shape with an increasing diameter toward the inner wall of the inner cavity for insertion into the lumen of the female port and the frustoconical shape for creating a friction-based fitting of the cap onto the female port; a cleaning material in the single inner cavity encircling at least a base of the non-compressible, upwardly directed protrusion, the cleaning material at least partially saturated with a cleaning agent to clean surfaces of the female port with the cleaning agent upon receipt of the site of the female port into the single inner cavity and the insertion of the non-compressible, upwardly directed protrusion into the lumen of the female port; and a removable seal attached to the cap at the opening to cover the opening and to maintain the cleaning material and cleaning agent within the single inner cavity prior to receipt of the portion of the female port.
