In certain embodiments, a vial adaptor for removing liquid contents from a vial comprises a piercing member and a bag. The bag can be contained within the piercing member such that the bag is introduced to the vial when the vial adaptor is coupled with the vial. In some embodiments, the bag expands within the vial as liquid is removed from the vial via the adaptor, thereby regulating pressure within the vial. In other embodiments, a vial comprises a bag for regulating pressure within the vial as liquid is removed therefrom. In some embodiments, a vial adaptor is coupled with the vial in order to remove the liquid. In some embodiments, as the liquid is removed from the vial via the adaptor, the bag expands within the vial, and in other embodiments, the bag contracts within the vial.

1. A pressure-regulating vial adaptor configured to couple with a sealed vial, the adaptor comprising: a housing portion comprising: a piercing member comprising a regulator channel and an extractor channel;a regulator aperture in fluid communication with the regulator channel; anda medical device connection port in fluid communication with the extractor channel;a one-way valve in fluid communication with the regulator aperture, wherein the valve is configured to permit air to pass into the regulator channel but to prevent any air or fluid from passing through the valve from the regulator channel; anda rigid portion having a fixed volume and including a flexible member, the flexible member dividing the fixed volume of the rigid portion into a first portion and a second portion, the first portion being open to ambient pressure, the second portion being in fluid communication with the regulator aperture, the flexible member being configured to move in response to a pressure difference between the first portion and the second portion;wherein, when fluid is introduced into the vial via the extractor channel, the volume of the first portion decreases and the volume of the second portion increases. 2. The adaptor of claim 1, wherein the rigid portion substantially entirely encloses the flexible member. 3. The adaptor of claim 1, wherein the flexible member moves away from the housing portion when fluid is introduced into the vial via the extractor channel. 4. The adaptor of claim 1, wherein the flexible member moves toward the housing portion when fluid is withdrawn from the vial via the extractor channel. 5. The adaptor of claim 1, wherein the flexible member comprises a bag. 6. The adaptor of claim 5, wherein the bag comprises a bladder. 7. The adaptor of claim 1, wherein the flexible member is capable of expanding and contracting. 8. The adaptor of claim 1, wherein the flexible member is made of rubber. 9. The adaptor of claim 1, wherein the flexible member is in substantially airtight engagement with the rigid portion. 10. The adaptor of claim 9, wherein the rigid portion further comprises a regulator port and the flexible member is in substantially airtight engagement with the regulator port. 11. The adaptor of claim 9, wherein the flexible member further comprises a peripheral edge in substantially airtight engagement with the rigid portion. 12. The adaptor of claim 1, further comprising a filter configured to inhibit contaminants from entering the vial. 13. The adaptor of claim 12, wherein the filter is hydrophobic. 14. The adaptor of claim 1, further comprising a cap connector configured to couple the adaptor with the vial. 15. A method of manufacturing a pressure-regulating vial adaptor configured to couple with a sealed vial, the method comprising: providing a housing portion, the housing portion comprising: a piercing member comprising a regulator channel and an extractor channel;a regulator aperture in fluid communication with the regulator channel; anda medical device connection port in fluid communication with the extractor channel;a one-way valve in fluid communication with the regulator aperture, wherein the valve is configured to permit air to pass into the regulator channel but to prevent any air or fluid from passing through the valve from the regulator channel; andplacing a rigid portion in fluid communication with the regulator aperture, the rigid portion having a fixed volume and including a flexible member, the flexible member dividing the fixed volume of the rigid portion into a first portion and a second portion, the first portion being open to ambient pressure, the second portion being in fluid communication with the regulator aperture, the flexible member being configured to move in response to a pressure difference between the first portion and the second portion;wherein, when fluid is introduced into the vial via the extractor channel, the volume of the first portion decreases and the volume of the second portion increases. 16. The method of claim 15, further comprising placing a filter in the rigid portion, wherein the filter is configured to inhibit contaminants from entering the vial. 17. The adaptor of claim 1, wherein the medical device connection port is configured to receive a connector from a second container to allow liquid to be introduced into or removed from the vial. 18. The adaptor of claim 17, wherein the medical device connection port is configured to receive a needle-less connector from the second container.
