Abstract
A stab cap for a vial wherein an open-ended sleeve functions not only as a closure for sealing against a seal disc on the open end of a vial but also as a support for a tubular member having a depending tubular portion terminating in a sharp end portion for puncturing the seal disc to facilitate the transfer of fluid from the vial to a syringe. A flexural connection is provided between the sleeve and tubular member, the connection being integral with the tubular member and formed of the same material.
