Abstract

A closure with a tamper-indicating cap for injection and infusion bottles includes a holding part (3) for a seal (5), and a cap (1) with a downwardly extending edge (2) arranged between the holding part (3) and the seal (5). This arrangement prevents the seal from dropping into the bottle neck when the closure is pierced by a needle or cannula.
