Abstract: The present invention discloses a flexible container device which forms a sterile system comprising a pouch-shaped container and a hose shaped connector. The container is characterized in that it comprises a tear-away first cover layer, for instance a tape, arranged over at least one sterile point of connection of at least one of said hose shaped connectors. The connecting end of the hose has a second cover layer placed over a sterile device for mounting the hose onto the container. An external grip device is arranged from the other end of the hose and is operatively connected to a puncturing device inside the hose which puncturing device punctures the container after the hose has been mounted thereon, thereby maintaining the system in a generally sterile condition. Also disclosed is a method for manufacturing said device.

Abstract: A method of forming a form stable, preferably product contour tight package in a roller operated packaging machine. A thermoformable web (14) is pre-heated to a suitable forming temperature and the web is thereafter supplied to a mould tray (20). The tray is provided with vacuum passages and/or other arrangements for forced forming to the contour of the tray. A sealing tool (22) surrounds, completely or partly, the periphery of the tray and is used for sealing of the second web to the first one. The heat of the sealing tool is superposed, primarily by heat radiation, onto the cooling, preferably such that a boarder region (26) head/cold is created in the marginal portion of the mould tray.
