Zusammenfassung:The disclosed tamper-evident closure encloses a medical access device, such as a vascular access device, such that it will be visibly apparent if the medical access device contained in the tamper-evident closure becomes exposed. The tamper-evident closure cannot be reapplied over the medical access device in a way to look the same as it did prior to exposing the medical access device. The tamper-evident closures comprise a securing strap with a first securing strap portion secured to the first part of the tamper-evident closure, a second securing strap portion with a free end for securing to a second part of the tamper-evident closure, and an area of weakness separating the first securing strap portion from the second securing strap portion. The force to break the area of weakness is less than the force to separate the securing strap from the first part or second part.
