ABSTRACT:
A cap for a connector which can fill a male luer connector with only a fluid, such as a medicinal fluid, without leaving gas in the male luer connector. The cap for the connector comprises the cap body, the sliding part movable relative to the cap body, and the air filter placed at the tip end opening of the gas flow path forming part included in the sliding part. Also, the cap body comprises the cylindrical fitting part for liquid tightly fitting with the tip end opening of the male luer connector, and the cylindrical guide provided with the liquid outlet on its peripheral surface. Further, the liquid outlet can be opened or closed by shifting the gas flow path forming part within the cylindrical guide. Moreover, the cylindrical guide is placed within the recess portion to be guided between the gas flow path forming part and the containing wall.
