ABSTRACT:
An adapter for a medicinal vial is provided which includes a conical spike on one end for insertion through the rubber puncture pad in the lid of a medicinal vial. The end opposite the spike is provided with a standard male luer connection and pre-slit rubber cover. The male luer connector of a syringe may be easily passed through the slit to withdraw liquid from the vial by action of the piston. The rubber cover keeps the end of the adapter sealed. In one embodiment the adapter includes a valve in the upper portion to seal the end which opens in response to the attachment of a syringe.
