Abstract
The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a stopper comprising a plug and a pierceable membrane, the plug including a cavity between a pierceable membrane and a lower opening. The pierceable membrane and the cavity can form a tortuous path that reduces interactions between the contents of the container and the ambient environment. The cavity can be bounded by a plastic insert disposed within the plug. The plastic insert can include insert walls, the lower opening, and an insert flange. The pierceable membrane can be bonded to an upper surface of the insert flange.
