Abstract

A cap for a container comprises an annular collar with a longitudinal axis and a diameter perpendicular thereto. A seal includes two seal elements which cooperate to form a generally cylindrical seal member locatable in the collar with the seal elements in contact with each other in a plane parallel to the longitudinal axis. At least one of the seal elements has at least one opening therethrough. The openings are configured to receive the tubes of a medical tube set and the cap can be constructed with different combinations of seal members to provide a different number of openings into the container.
