The scrub element may be disposed on a base scrub (130). The container configured to define a chamber to contain the base scrub, scrub element, and disinfectant or antimicrobial agent. The base scrub and/or scrub element(s) are adapted to compress and contact the distal tip and sidewall of a male Luer connector, female Luer connector or hemodialysis connector upon insertion of the connector into the chamber. The removable seal prevents the disinfectant or the antimicrobial agent from exiting the chamber. Also described are methods of disinfecting a medical connector, and an assembly comprising a device for disinfecting a medical connector.
