Abstract

An adapter seal is provided which is adapted to be mounted to a cannula assembly. The adapter seal preferably defines a channel which is adapted to cooperate with walls extending upward from a cannula housing. In a second embodiment, a button is provided that may be repositioned such that its aperture aligns with an aperture formed in the body member of the adapter seal. The button is preferably joined to the body member by a flexible strap.
