Abstract: A bottle-type blow-molded plastic infusion container that can be set in an upright position. When liquid is discharged from the container, almost no dead space occurs in shoulder and bottom portions (required amount of air to be placed in the container to remove residual liquid is less). The blow-molded container has a mouth section (1), a neck section (2), the shoulder section (3), a barrel section (4), and the bottom section (5). The barrel section (4) has a pair of broad side faces (41, 41) and a pair of narrow side faces (42, 42). The bottom section (5) is formed in a shape symmetrical about a longitudinal axis of the bottom section (5) and bent inward in a V shape. Further, the shoulder section (3) has a pair of broad side faces (31, 31) and a pair of narrow side faces (32, 32). In the narrow side faces (32, 32) are formed grooves (33, 33) symmetrical about a longitudinal axis and bent inward in a V shape.

Abstract: A fluid vessel which include a drug storing chamber, a capping member for hermetically sealing the mouth portion of the drug storing chamber, and a solvent chamber joined to the bottom of the drug storing chamber, wherein the drug storing chamber is provided with a communication hole at the bottom thereof for communicating with the solvent chamber and includes a protruding piece which hermetically seals the communication hole, protrudes into the drug storing chamber, and is movable so as to open the communication hole, while the capping member has an engaging portion to be engaged with the tip of the protruding piece whereby the protruding piece is moved to open the communication hole by rotation of the capping member. This vessel serves to simplify the manufacturing process and reduces the number of components, is readily disposed of, facilitates mixing the drug with the solvent, and is easy to store and handle in hospitals and other facilities.

Abstract: A prefilled syringe comprises a barrel having at a distal end a needle-connecting portion and at the proximal end an open end, a plastic tubular container having a mouth and a flexible hollow cylindrical body and containing a liquid medicament previously charged therein, and a plunger inserted into the barrel through the open end thereof and slidably held therein. The tubular container is held in the barrel so that the mouth thereof is placed in a lumen of the needle-connecting portion of the barrel. The cylindrical body is peeled off from the inner wall of the barrel and squeezed into a space between the barrel and the plunger when the plunger is pushed into the barrel.

Abstract: A dual-chambered container includes a chamber which contains, for example, a dry drug and a chamber which contains, for example, a medical liquid. The chambers are defined in first and second bags, with each bag having a weak seal formed in a side thereof. The bags are formed separately and then joined to one another so that the weak seals therein are positioned so that a passageway is formed between the bags when the weak seals are forcibly broken. The chambers can be sterilized independently of each other and, consequently, the container can be manufactured in a manner which minimizes the amount of labor required.

Abstract: A flexible and dual-chambered container includes a first frontal sheet fusion bonded to a first rear sheet to define a first chamber for containing, for example, a medical liquid. The first frontal sheet is a flexible and transparent sheet for intercepting water, moisture, and oxygen gas. The first rear sheet is a flexible composite sheet composed of aluminum foil and a water-absorbing stratum. A second frontal sheet is fusion bonded to a second rear sheet to define a second chamber for containing, for example, a medical liquid. The second frontal and rear sheets are joined to the first frontal and rear sheets so that the first and second chambers are isolated by a breakable or weak seal. An opaque and flexible cover sheet composed of aluminum foil is removably disposed on the first frontal sheet. When the weak seal is broken by manually compressing the second chamber, the first and second chambers are brought into liquid communication.
