  • Patent number: 6186998
    Abstract: A bag for an infusion solution has front and back wall portions each formed of a flexible plastic film and provided with a plurality of chambers which are filled with one infusion solution and another infusion solution or medicament, independently. The chambers are sectioned by a boundary portion having at least one weak seal portion which is closed by separably bonding inside surfaces of the plastic films mutually facing at the boundary portion so that the one infusion solution and the another infusion solution or medicament in the respective chambers are mixed together when the weak seal portion is opened. The weak seal portion is formed by applying a separable coating material, which provides a reduced bonding strength in a heat sealing process, on one or both inside surfaces of the plastic films mutually facing at the boundary portion and then effecting heat sealing process to the boundary portion. The separable coating material is applied in a form of a dot-pattern through a printing process.
