Abstract
A low pierce force needle port including a compressible resilient seal puncturable by a needle and compressing apparatus composed of a sealing cap and a sealing gland for compressing the seal. Provision of the compressing apparatus enables the seal to be very thin and still effectively seal before, during, and after needle penetration. Annular beveled and rounded shouldered surfaces on the sealing cap and sealing gland, respectively, serve to guide needles entering and passing through the low pierce force needle port; and a handle, a wide planar area, or other feature of the sealing cap provides a degree of protection against inadvertent needle punctures of the practitioner.
