ABSTRACT:
A port assembly includes a housing with an opening and a bore therethrough, a slit septum disposed in the bore to control access through the opening, a base joined to the housing and having a membrane attached thereto, a perforator having a first end abutting the slit septum and a second end aligned with the membrane, and a resilient member disposed between the perforator and the base. The port assembly may be used in a fluid container that includes a receptacle for retaining a fluid, and at least one conduit in communication with the receptacle. The at least one conduit may be defined, at least in part, by the port assembly.
