ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for simultaneously sterilizing and lubricating a medical coupling site prior to insertion of a male luer into the site. A fiber pad is provided containing a liquid composition including a sterilizing agent and a lubricating agent. The sterilizing and lubricating agents are preferably isopropyl alcohol and silicone oil, respectively, such that application of the lubricating agent to the medical coupling site results in the alcohol evaporating to leave behind a coating of silicone oil. The silicone oil lubricates an area on the coupling site contacted by the end of a male luer.
