Abstract

See full text

A sealing cover (10) is disclosed for resealing a side injection port (14) on an IV solution container (12). Sealing cover (10) has a first end portion (28), a center portion (30) and a second end portion (32) which define a cover region (24). One side of the cover region (24) has an adhesive material (44) so that the cover can be adhesively secured to the port (14). A nonadhesive region (48) is positioned over the injectable membrane (20) of the port. The first and second end portions (28, 32) are folded relative to the center portion (30) and wrapped about the cylindrical portion (16) of the port (14) to enhance the adhesive attachment. Protrusions (36) on the center portion (30) can also be folded against the cylindrical portion for adhesive attachment. A pull tab region (26) extends from one of the end portions to permit removal of the cover. Separation slits (34) are provided which extend along both sides of the nonadhesive region (48) over the injectable membrane so that the membrane will be exposed as the cover is removed but parts of the center portion and end portions will remain as a telltale to indicate that the seal has been removed.
