1. A tamper-resistant closure assembly, comprising:

  • an elongate body having a proximal end and a distal end;

    a ferrule defining an interior major surface, wherein the interior major surface has a proximal region and a distal region; and

    a boss positioned adjacent the distal end of the elongate body and configured to resiliently urge outwardly against the interior major surface;

    wherein the elongate body is slidably retained within the ferrule by a shoulder extending radially outward of the elongate body;

    wherein the ferrule, the elongate body, or both defines a region so complementarily arranged relative to the boss as to resiliently urge the elongate body in a proximal direction relative to the ferrule in correspondence with a radially outward force applied by the boss against the interior major surface;

    wherein the elongate body further comprises a first plurality of juxtaposed teeth spaced apart from each other to define a first plurality of juxtaposed recesses therebetween, and the ferrule further comprises a second plurality of juxtaposed teeth spaced apart from each other to define a second plurality of juxtaposed recesses therebetween, wherein the first plurality of juxtaposed teeth are complementary to the second plurality of juxtaposed recesses, and the second plurality of juxtaposed teeth are complementary to the first plurality of juxtaposed recesses.
