Does anyone know what this could be?

Posted , 3 users are following.

Hi,

I am home from hospital following keyhole surgery and have found a green plastic cone cap (looks like something that might have been on a needle or something). I have photos but it won't let me post. Keen to know what this could be as it was left in and could have caused infection according to my doctor but I just don't know what it was used for and neither does my gp!

Hope you can help.
