Abstract: A device for sealing the tip of a syringe needle has a cap from which a shank extends to a mount adapted to be slidably held to the syringe barrel. The cap may be moved in spring-biased contact along the needle body and beyond its tip whereupon it springs into alignment with the tip. By moving the cap in the reverse direction the tip becomes sealed therein.
