Port and closure assembly including a resealing injection site for a container

A container including a port for accessing the contents of the container and a closure for removably covering an opening defined by the port comprising:

• a port including a tubular portion that extends from a base and terminates at an end including an opening, the tubular portion being divided into an upper and lower section by a pierceable wall, the upper section including the end that terminates in the opening and including a resealing injection site;
• and
• a closure member for removably covering at least a portion of the end including the opening and including a lower sleeve that circumscribes at least a portion of an outer surface of the upper section of the tubular portion, the lower sleeve causing portions of the upper section to contact the resealing injection site upon the application of sufficient heat to soften the upper section.

A port and closure assembly for a container comprising:

• a port including a tubular portion that extends from a base and terminates at an end including an opening, the tubular portion being divided into an upper and lower section by a pierceable membrane, the upper section including the end that terminates in the opening and including a resealing injection side the resealing injection site includes a top surface having a target ring;
• and
• a closure member for removably covering at least a portion of the end including the opening and including a lower sleeve that circumscribes at least a portion of an outer surface of the upper section of the tubular portion, the lower sleeve causing portions of the upper section to contact the resealing injection site during a sterilization step that softens the upper section and causing the portions of the upper section to retain the resealing injection site within the tubular portion after the upper section hardens.
