    Abstract: A double compartment infusion packet has a drawstring (4) running through both compartments. The compartments are doubled over are joined together at opposite ends. The drawstring has an intermediate portion (6) retained at one end between the compartments and further portions (8) extending through the compartments to the other end where the ends of the drawstring are secured to a tag card (40).
