1. A needleless injection site including:

  • a housing including a main body portion with a proximal end, a distal end and a bore extending there through;

    a reseal member disposed in the bore and attached to the main body portion at the proximal end, the reseal member having a substantially planar face, a second face opposite the first face, and an elastically openable and closable aperture formed therein and normally residing in a closed position wherein the aperture is in a closed configuration which prevents fluid flow there through, the substantially planar face having a diameter at least substantially equal to a diameter of the bore when the aperture is in the closed position;

    said reseal member being attached to the main body portion such that only the application of distally directed force to the substantially planar face will cause the aperture to assume an open configuration, wherein movement of the second face is unimpeded within the bore, and the removal of only the distally directed force therefrom will allow the aperture to return to the closed configuration.
