A luer activated device includes an inlet adapted to receive a male luer, an outlet associable with a fluid flow system, and a flow path defined therebetween. The inlet receives a resealable valve element having a aperture adapted to receive the male luer. The valve element is compressible, such that a male luer inserted into the aperture will cause the valve element to primarily compress, rather than stretching and deforming. One end of the aperture may include a pressure activated flow passage, which is adapted to open upon fluid flow through a male luer received by the aperture. Methods of using such luer activated devices are also provided.
