A cap is configured to provide antimicrobial protection to a female luer port of an intravenous device. The cap distributes an antimicrobial solution within the intraluminal surfaces of the port when the cap is connected to the port. A cap may also be designed to distribute an antimicrobial solution around the exterior surfaces of the port. Once connected to a port, the cap can form a seal that minimizes the evaporation of the antimicrobial solution from within the lumen of a port. The cap can therefore provide antimicrobial protection against another device that is connected to the port once the cap is removed.

1. A cap for a port of an intravenous device, the cap comprising: a body having a cavity;an actuator having a bottom surface, wherein the bottom surface includes a first prong, a second prong, and a protrusion disposed between the first prong and the second prong, wherein the protrusion includes a lumen extending therethrough, wherein the actuator is configured to move within the cavity between a lower position and an upper position; andan absorbent material containing an antimicrobial solution, the absorbent material being contained within the body such that it is compressible;wherein in response to an upward force on the first and second prongs that moves the actuator from the lower position to the upper position, the actuator compresses the absorbent material and the antimicrobial solution flows through the lumen. 2. The cap of claim 1, wherein in response to the upward force on the first and second prongs, the antimicrobial solution flows through the lumen into a lumen of an intravenous device. 3. The cap of claim 1, wherein the body includes a first opening and a second opening, wherein the first prong extends through the first opening and the second prong extends through the second opening. 4. The cap of claim 3, wherein in response to the upward force on the first and second prongs, the antimicrobial solution flows through the first and second openings. 5. The cap of claim 1, wherein the body further comprises a lumen extending downwardly from the cavity, wherein the protrusion is disposed within the lumen. 6. The cap of claim 5, wherein the protrusion forms a tight seal within the lumen of the body when the actuator is disposed in the upper position. 7. The cap of claim 1, wherein the cavity of the body includes a seal that the actuator contacts when the actuator is disposed in the upper position. 8. A cap for a port of an intravenous device, the cap comprising: a body having an upper end and a lower end, the body including a cavity formed in the lower end of the body;an actuator having an upper end and a lower end, the upper end of the actuator being contained within the cavity, the lower end of the actuator extending out from the cavity and being configured to insert into the port of the intravenous device, the upper end of the actuator being configured to move within the cavity between an upper position and a lower position; andan absorbent material containing an antimicrobial solution, the absorbent material being contained within the cavity between the upper end of the body and the upper end of the actuator, the absorbent material being compressible;wherein when the cap is connected to the port of the intravenous device, the upper end of the actuator is advanced upwardly into the cavity from the lower position to the upper position thereby compressing the absorbent material causing the antimicrobial solution to flow through the lower end of the actuator and onto an intraluminal surface of the port. 9. The cap of claim 8, wherein the lower end of the actuator comprises a lumen, the antimicrobial solution flowing through the lumen into a lumen of the port. 10. The cap of claim 9, wherein the lower end of the actuator comprises a male luer in which the lumen is formed. 11. The cap of claim 8, wherein the lower end of the actuator is configured such that a gap exists between the lower end of the actuator and an inner surface of the cavity as the lower end of the actuator is advanced towards the lower position, and wherein the antimicrobial solution flows through the gap and onto an exterior surface of the port. 12. The cap of claim 8, wherein when in the lower position, the lower end of the actuator contacts an inner surface of the cavity thereby forming a seal between the actuator and the body. 13. A cap for a port of an intravenous device, the cap comprising: a body having a cavity;an actuator positioned in contact with the cavity, the actuator having an upper opening, a lower opening, and a lumen extending therebetween, the lumen configured to allow fluid to freely flow between the upper opening and the lower opening; andan absorbent material containing an antimicrobial solution, the absorbent material being contained within the body such that it is compressible;wherein when the cap is connected to a port of an intravenous device, the actuator is advanced into the cavity and compresses the absorbent material causing the antimicrobial solution to automatically flow through the lumen of the actuator and onto an intraluminal surface of the port. 14. The cap of claim 13, wherein the actuator comprises a male luer in which the lumen is formed. 15. The cap of claim 13, wherein the antimicrobial solution flows through a gap between the body and an exterior surface of the actuator and onto an exterior surface of the port. 16. The cap of claim 13, wherein the body includes a seal that the actuator contacts when the cap is connected to the port thereby forming a seal between the actuator and the body. 17. The cap of claim 13, wherein the actuator includes a protrusion that is positioned within a lumen in the body, the protrusion having a lumen through which the antimicrobial solution flows. 18. The cap of claim 17, wherein the actuator includes a plurality of prongs that extend through corresponding openings in the body. 19. The cap of claim 18, wherein the antimicrobial solution flows through the openings when the actuator is forced into the cavity. 20. The cap of claim 13, wherein the lumen includes an antimicrobial coating.
