Abstract
A closure assembly for a medical dispenser including a cover and a tip cap removably disposed therein. A flexible retaining member including a plurality of flexible fingers is/are angularly positioned within the cover in both a retaining relation and a blocking position, which respectively restrict removal of the tip cap from the cover and a reinsertion of the tip cap, back into the cover, subsequent to its removal. Structurally distinguishable but similarly operable embodiments include the plurality of flexible fingers connected to and extending angularly outward from an interior of the cover or connected to an exterior of the tip cap.
