Protective cap for cannula, has elongated slot with sections which are hinged together using hinge, where one section is swiveled around axis running perpendicular to longitudinal axis of cannula

摘要

The cap has an elongated slot running along a cannula and comprising two sections (12, 14). The section (12) surrounds a proximal area and is hinged to the section (14) by a hinge (46). The section (12) is swiveled around an axis that runs perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the cannula. The slot has a length, which is equal to the length of the cannula between the section (14) and a distal end of the cannula.
