ABSTRACT:
A cap assembly for an enteral feeding container having an inner and outer cap. The inner cap has an upper end forming a tray with an inner peripheral lip and an outer peripheral lip, A flexible inner membrane covers the inner side of the tray of the inner cap to form a seal between the neck of the container and the tray. An outer membrane is placed over the outer side of the tray to form a sealed chamber, A cavity containing an appropriate disinfectant is centrally formed in the tray for receiving an enteral feeding tube spike when the outer membrane is removed, Access to the cavity is achieved by first removing the outer cap, then stripping away the outer membrane.
