Abstract
An environmental seal for a fluid delivery device may include a 2-shot molded cap including a carrier and a low durometer silicone plug. The seal also may include a cap receptacle that applies compressive force to the plug displacing the plug material and forming a seal between the cap, the plug and the cap receptacle. A cannula may be slidably received in the plug and may move freely through the plug without compromising the seal.
