Abstract: The application relates to taking a sample of liquid contained in a flexible closed container. The problem to be resolved relates to piercing the wall of the container with a non-cutting piece, whilst obtaining a precise and clean opening for accessing the liquid and preventing any unintended flow or spill of liquid. A device for taking a sample of liquid contained in a flexible bag comprises a first section having a base surface and a film perforating element protruding from the base surface. The device also includes a second section having a base surface surrounding a cavity, adapted for receiving the film perforating element of the first section. The first section has an adhesive surface surrounding the film perforating element, and the second section has an adhesive surface surrounding the cavity. Furthermore, one of the two sections has an opening in the base surface, inside of the adhesive surface.

Abstract: When taking a sample of liquid contained in a flexible closed container, a problem to be resolved relates to piercing the wall of the container with a non-cutting piece, whilst obtaining a precise and clean opening for accessing the liquid and preventing any unintended flow or spill of liquid. This problem is resolved by a flexible bag for liquid, particularly a urine or blood bag containing a device for taking a sample of liquid from said flexible bag. The sampling device has a circular opening, arranged so that this opening is accessible from a first side of the device. The device also has a support structure on its other side, said support structure with at least one support element, whose function is to distribute forces, and which is positioned at a distance from the plane of said opening.
