Abstract
The present invention relates to a pointed adapter which enables a blunt entry device such as a blunt cannula to readily penetrate an elastomeric closure such as a conventional vial stopper. The adapter includes a breakaway collar which initially protects the adapter point from touch contamination and from accidental stick to the user.
