A container including a nozzle and body depending therefrom. The body is preferably
tubular and defines an interior which retains a product to be dispensed. A cap
engages the nozzle to prevent inadvertent release of the product. In order to dispense
the product, the cap is removed and pressure is applied to the body and the nozzle
allows release of the product. The nozzle releases the product without exposing
the remaining product to the external atmosphere, thus the sterility of the interior
of the body is maintained and the shelf life of the product is increased. The nozzle
includes an inner body, coupled to the tubular body, surrounded by a flexible outer
cover. A seam between the inner body and flexible outer cover forms a one-way release
valve wherein a portion of the seam remains closed during dispensing the product.
