Zusammenfassung:A needle assembly includes a catheter hub, a catheter tube extending distally from the catheter hub, and a needle hub having a needle having a needle tip extending out the catheter tube. A protective cap is positioned with the catheter hub and covers the catheter tube and the needle tip. The protective cap has a casing having a casing body, a first opening at a proximal end of the casing body, a proximal cavity having the needle tip and the catheter tube located in the proximal cavity, a second opening at an end opposite the first opening and opening into a distal cavity, and a rim at the second opening. A lid is removably attached to the rim at the second opening to seal a solution inside the distal cavity. The solution is dispensable from the distal cavity following separation of the lid from the rim.
