  • Patent number: 8845611
    Abstract: There is provided a multi-chamber bag that is capable of securely checking a medicinal substance accommodated therein without the necessity to perform a troublesome work, while preventing a matter deteriorating the medicinal substance from reaching the inside of a medicinal-substance accommodation chamber and hence securely preventing the deterioration of the medicinal substance. In a multi-chamber bag having a bag body that has a strong seal part that joins two sheet members together to define an interior space of the bag body, and a weak seal part that joints the two sheet members together so as to be able to rupture them apart, thereby partitioning the interior space of the bag body into a medicinal-substance accommodation chamber and a diluting-solution accommodation chamber, a pair of cover sheets are provided to respectively cover the medicinal-substance accommodation chamber.
