A resealable assembly for a container such as a bottle or vial featuring a membrane for selectively opening or sealing a fluid path between the bottle and a medical delivery device introduced into the assembly. The assembly includes a body disposed on said bottle, and a luer connector hub which may be separately provided with the body or formed integrally therewith. The luer connector hub features a connector end open for access by the medical delivery device, and an opposed end which is disposed for fluid communication with the open top of the bottle. A membrane, preferably formed from an elastomeric material, is secured across both the opposed end of the luer connector hub and the open top of the bottle, and may be retained between the top surface of the bottle and the body. The membrane preferably includes a central area sealing the opposed end of the luer connector hub from the open top of the bottle, with one or more fluid openings defined on a portion of the membrane outside of the central area. A force exerted on the central area by the medical delivery device deflects the membrane towards the interior of the vial, urging the membrane from sealing contact with the body and, hence, opening the fluid path between the interior of the bottle and the medical delivery device. The central area may display one or more fluid flow channels to facilitate fluid flow between the medical delivery device and the bottle as contact is made between the medical delivery device and the central area of the membrane. A sealing rib may be provided around a portion of the periphery of the luer connector hub to enhance sealing contact between the membrane and the luer connector hub.

A resealable container assembly accessible by a medical delivery device and providing a resealable fluid path between the medical delivery device and the container, comprising: a container having an open top and a top surface disposed around portions of the container surrounding said open top; a body disposed adjacent the top surface of the container; means for communicating fluids with the container, said means having an end configured for introduction of the medical delivery device and an opposed end disposed on said body; and a membrane disposed between the open top of said container and the opposed end of the means for communicating, said membrane having a central area disposed for contact with the medical delivery device and having a width at least equal to the width defined by the opposed end of the means for communicating, said central area comprising at least one fluid flow channel, said membrane having at least one fluid passage located outside said central area for fluid communication, via said at least one fluid flow channel between the medical delivery device introduced into the means for communicating and the open top of the container, and said membrane defining a sealing portion between said central area and said at least one fluid passage for sealing contact with the body, wherein upon contact between said medical delivery device and the central area, said membrane is displaced to an open position, wherein said membrane is urged away from said sealing contact with the body to open the fluid path between the medical delivery device and the container.
