ABSTRACT:
A soft plastic Brachy tube cap has a tubular body with one closed and one open end. The body's internal bore is sized so that the end of a Brachy tube fits snugly within the body when inserted through the open end. A pair of spaced locking rings integral with the body are adapted to fit about the Brachy tube. If the cap receives pressure towards removal, the two rings deform, through the pressure on the connecting straps, which results in reducing the bore radius and causes them to bend tighter on the Brachy tube. This prevents displacement of the caps.
