Claims17
A container comprising a container body with an integral closure portion, and a cap provided over the closure portion and having an internal spike arranged to penetrate the closure portion of the container body when the cap is moved towards the container body, the internal spike being provided with a passage for communicating the interior of the container body with the outside of the cap, the cap further having means for the connection of a syringe or similar medical device for communication with the passage, wherein the cap is removably fittable to the container body with the internal spike in a position not penetrating the closure portion, such that the cap selectively may be moved towards the container body to cause the internal spike to penetrate the closure portion or the cap selectively may be removed from the container body to allow penetration of the closure portion by alternative means, and wherein said container body is provided with a frangible portion for removal of said integral closure portion.
A container as claimed in 1, wherein the cap provided over the closure portion defines a sterile region under the cap.
