Abstract: Sterile bags (112) suitable for transporting specimens, such as medical samples, are formed of a pocket (11)8 for receiving a container containing a specimen and a closure (120) for closing the pocket. A liner (114) of absorbent material lines at least part of both opposed inner surfaces of the pocket (120), at the closed end (134) of the pocket. The absorbent liner (114) is narrower than width of the pocket from one side edge (132) to the other and is spaced inwardly from each side edge, and the opposed surfaces of the liquid impervious material are joined directly to one another by heat seals (124) along the side edges to form the pocket (120). A kit comprises a sterile bag for transport of such specimens, including tamper-evident features and being individually packaged, or packaged in a predetermined number within a sterile environment.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing tamper indicating security bags (e.g. for the transportation of case) from plastic film. The method comprises (a) forming an elongate rectangular strip of plastics film material; and (b) folding the opposed long edges of the strip towards the centre to form a pair of flaps with a gap between their inside edges, which leaves the central area of the strip exposed; or the method comprises (a) forming an elongate flattened tube of plastics film material (b) cutting the tube longitudinally to form a pair of flaps in the overlying material of the flattened tube; and (c) exposing a central area of the underlying material in a gap between the air of flaps.
