ABSTRACT:
A capping device for covering the access port of a conduit connector includes a first cap having a downwardly extending skirt and an access opening through which a bronchoscope, catheter or other small diameter medical device may be inserted. The skirt includes an inwardly extending rim around its internal surface which detachably snaps over a lip around the access port. The access opening is selectively sealable by a second cap that is tethered to the first cap by a flexible tether strap. The second cap also incudes a downwardly extending skirt including an inwardly extending rim around its internal surface which detachably snaps over a lip around the first cap. The capping device further includes a flexible anchor strap extending from the first cap which snaps onto a knob on the connector, thereby retaining the capping device on the connector when not in use.
