A dispenser has a body with a variable-volume storage chamber for storing product. A compression chamber is in fluid communication with the storage chamber for receiving substance therefrom. A one-way valve of the dispenser includes valve seat and flexible valve cover seated on the valve seat and defining a normally-closed seam therebetween forming a fluid-tight seal between the valve cover and valve seat. The flexible valve cover is movable relative to the valve seat to allow the passage of substance through the seam and out of the dispenser. A manually-engageable actuator connected to the dispensing portion is movable between first and second positions to dispense substance within the compression chamber out of the dispenser.

1. A filling apparatus configured to fill a device having a body defining a variable-volume storage chamber for storing substance, and a stopper slidingly receivable within the body and sealingly engageable therewith to form a fluid-tight seal therebetween and including a penetrable portion that is penetrable by a needle or other filling member, the filling apparatus having a needle or other filling member for penetrating the penetrable portion and filling the variable-volume storage chamber therethrough, and configured to engage the stopper and secure the position thereof relative to the body during filling, the filling apparatus further having at least one vacuum port configured to apply a suction force therethrough and to couple with a face of the penetrable portion to secure the penetrable portion to the filling apparatus during filling. 2. A method, comprising the steps of: engaging a filling apparatus with a device for storing substance, the device comprising:a body defining a variable-volume storage chamber for storing the substance; anda stopper slidingly receivable within the body and sealingly engageable therewith to form a fluid-tight seal therebetween, having a penetrable portion that is penetrable by a needle or other filling member for filling the variable-volume storage chamber with a substance therethrough, the stopper further having an axially-exposed face engageable with said filling apparatus,wherein the engaging step includes engaging the axially-exposed face of the stopper with said filling apparatus, wherein said engagement of the filling apparatus with the axially-exposed face secures the position of the stopper relative to the body;penetrating the penetrable portion with a needle or other filling member of the filling apparatus; andfilling the variable-volume storage chamber with substance. 3. A method as defined in claim 2, further comprising the steps of: withdrawing the needle or other filling member from the penetrable portion, anddisengaging the filling apparatus from the device and stopper. 4. A method as defined in claim 3, wherein the device further comprises a one-way dispensing valve forming an external portion of the device, and further comprising the steps of: dispensing a volume of substance from the device through the one-way valve, and, in turn,sliding the stopper within the body toward the one-way valve and correspondingly reducing the volume of the storage chamber. 5. A method as defined in claim 3, wherein the penetrable portion is resealable, and further comprising the step of, after the withdrawing step, hermetically sealing a resulting penetration aperture therein. 6. A method as defined in claim 5, wherein the filling apparatus includes at least one vacuum port configured to apply a suction force therethrough, the penetrable portion includes an exposed face, and the securing step comprises coupling the at least one vacuum port with the face of the penetrable portion, applying a suction force to the face, and, in turn, securing the penetrable portion to the filling apparatus and in a substantially fixed position relative to the body. 7. A method, comprising the steps of: engaging a filling apparatus with a device for storing substance, the device comprising:a body defining a variable-volume storage chamber for storing the substance;a stopper slidingly receivable within the body and sealingly engageable therewith to form a fluid-tight seal therebetween, having a penetrable portion that is penetrable by a needle or other filling member for filling the variable-volume storage chamber with a substance therethrough; anda one-way dispensing valve forming an external portion of the device;wherein the engaging step includes engaging the stopper with said filling apparatus and securing the position of the stopper relative to the body;penetrating the penetrable portion with a needle or other filling member of the filling apparatus;filling the variable-volume storage chamber with substance;withdrawing the needle or other filling member from the penetrable portion,disengaging the filling apparatus from the device and stopper;dispensing a volume of substance from the device through the one-way valve, and, in turn,sliding the stopper within the body toward the one-way valve and correspondingly reducing the volume of the storage chamber. 8. A method, comprising the steps of: engaging a filling apparatus with a device for storing substance, the device comprising:a body defining a variable-volume storage chamber for storing the substance; anda stopper slidingly receivable within the body and sealingly engageable therewith to form a fluid-tight seal therebetween, having a penetrable portion that is penetrable by a needle or other filling member for filling the variable-volume storage chamber with a substance therethrough, wherein the penetrable portion is resealable;wherein the engaging step includes engaging the stopper with said filling apparatus and securing the position of the stopper relative to the body;penetrating the penetrable portion with a needle or other filling member of the filling apparatus;filling the variable-volume storage chamber with substance;withdrawing the needle or other filling member from the penetrable portion,disengaging the filling apparatus from the device and stopper; andafter the withdrawing step, hermetically sealing a resulting penetration aperture therein. 9. A method as defined in claim 8, wherein the filling apparatus includes at least one vacuum port configured to apply a suction force therethrough, the penetrable portion includes an exposed face, and the securing step comprises coupling the at least one vacuum port with the face of the penetrable portion, applying a suction force to the face, and, in turn, securing the penetrable portion to the filling apparatus and in a substantially fixed position relative to the body.
