The breathable film is a two-layered film, in which a second film having a low melting point adheres to a porous first film having water repellency. An auxiliary film body is a two-layered film with an outer shape larger than that of the breathable film, in which a fourth film having a higher melting point adheres to a third film having a low melting point. The breathable film is connected to the auxiliary film body with the second film being heat-laminated to the third film. The auxiliary film body is connected to the luer cap lock with an outer edge portion of the third film being heat-laminated to the luer cap lock.
