A closure device for use with a container (11) having an open neck finish, including an inner cap (21) having a skirt (27) terminating in an open end which engages the outside diameter (D1) of the finish. The inner cap (21) is sized to initially engage the finish. The skirt (27) has circumferentially spaced slits (33) extending, which may function as lyophilization ports, which permit the inner cap (21) to expand upon an axial closing force and engage the bottom of the finish. A liner (19) is positioned in the inner cap (21) proximate the closed end and is compressed against the finish when the cap is moved to alignment with the bottom of the finish. An outer cap (17) is locked on to the inner cap (21) in pre-assembly which then encloses the inner cap (21) after complete assembly to seal and compress the liner (19) between the finish (43) and the inside face of the inner cap (21). In a preferred embodiment, an inwardly facing ridge (35) is located on the inside of the inner cap (21) to engage the liner (19) by a distance sufficient to permit the liner (19) to seal to the finish (43) over the maximum variation of dimensions for the liner (19) and for the crown on the finish (43).
