An insert is disclosed for use with a container having an end wall, and sidewall that together form an internal cavity, and an opening opposite the end wall that communicates with the internal cavity. The insert includes a body having first and second ends spaced apart along a first axis. A portion of the body is dimensioned for receipt in the opening of the container. A passage extends through the body from the first end to the second end for communicating with the internal cavity of the container. An elongated recess extends inwardly from the first end of the body and is sealed from the cavity of the container.

An insert for use with an associated container that has an end wall and sidewall that together form an internal cavity and an opening opposite the end wall that communicates with the internal cavity, the insert comprising:
- a body having first and second ends spaced apart along a first axis, a portion of the body dimensioned for receipt in the opening of the associated container, wherein the body has a shoulder adjacent the second end that is dimensioned to preclude receipt in the opening of the associated container;
- a passage extending through the body from the first end to the second end for communicating with the internal cavity of the associated container;
- and
- an elongated recess extending inwardly from the first end of the body and sealed from the cavity of the associated container, wherein the elongated recess has a length measured along the first axis that is dimensioned to receive a needle therein, the recess having an access opening that extends into the body in a direction along the first axis from the second end and beyond the first end of the body whereby the recess extends axially from the first end of the body.
A container assembly comprising:
- a container having an end wall, a sidewall having a first end extending from the end wall whereby the end wall and sidewall together form an internal cavity, and an opening at a second end of the sidewall opposite the end wall that communicates with the internal cavity;
- a cap selectively received at the second end of the sidewall and dimensioned for closing receipt with the opening;
- and
- an insert including a body having first and second ends spaced apart along a first axis, a portion of the body dimensioned for receipt in the opening of the container, a passage extending through the body from the insert body first end to the insert body second end for communicating with the internal cavity of the container, and an elongated recess extending inwardly from the first end of the body and always sealed from the cavity of the container, wherein the recess has an access opening that extends into the body in a direction along the first axis from the second end and the recess extends axially from the first end of the body.
