The cap assembly (14) includes a cap body and a membrane like septum (32) supported by the cap body. The septum (32) provides for a pierceable element to have access to the interior of the container. The membrane is of a thermoplastic elastomer and is self-sealing upon removal of the piercing element. <IMAGE>
