Abstract
A port includes a conduit configured to receive a spike therein. The conduit includes a first portion, a second portion, and a septum fluidly separates the first portion and the second portion of the conduit. The septum is puncturable by the spike so as to allow the spike to be inserted into the second portion of the conduit. A removable snap portion extends from a break point to the tip of the port. The thickness of the break point is less than the thickness of the remainder of the conduit wall. The removable snap portion is configured to break away from the port at the break point such that the septum is accessible by the spike via the first portion of the conduit when the removable snap portion is broken away from the port. The port may include fluorinated ethylene propylene, ethylene tetrafluoroethylene, perfluoroalkoxy alkane, and combinations thereof.
