ABSTRACT:
A vial has a body defining a chamber for receiving a substance therein; and a valve assembly coupled in fluid communication with the chamber and defining (i) an open position permitting at least one of (a) passage of the substance through the valve assembly and into the chamber for storing the substance in the chamber, and (b) passage of the substance out of the chamber for dispensing the substance therefrom; and (ii) a closed position forming a fluid-tight seal between the chamber and exterior of the container. A filling member engages a flexible valve member of the valve assembly to move the valve member between the closed and open positions to fill and seal the vial, respectively. A syringe is connectable to the vial. The valve assembly opens upon connecting the syringe to the vial to allow the substance within the vial to be withdrawn from the vial and into the syringe by actuating a plunger of the syringe, and the valve assembly closes upon disconnecting the vial and syringe to hermetically seal and store the substance remaining in the syringe for later use.
