Zusammenfassung:A syringe assembly includes a syringe having a body with a proximal end and a distal end and a discharge outlet formed at the distal end of the syringe. The syringe assembly further includes a closure element having a body configured for removable engagement with at least a portion of the discharge outlet. The body of the closure element is porous to define a tortuous internal path through the body to allow venting of excess pressure within the syringe while preventing pathogens from entering the syringe. The discharge outlet is configured as a luer connector and the closure element has at least one engagement feature for engaging the luer connector.
