  • Patent number: 9365316
    Abstract: A container including a first side wall and a second side wall that are permanently joined by at least one seam such that a chamber is formed between the side walls. A peelable seal separates the chamber into a first sub-chamber and a second sub-chamber that are capable of receiving liquid contents, which may be mixed if the peelable seal is opened. The seam includes a protrusion that extends into the chamber, and the peelable seal extends over the protrusion.

  • Patent number: 8469931
    Abstract: A medical product configured for use in a medical system and a method of handling a medical system comprising a first subsystem and a second subsystem containing a medical fluid are provided. A connector connects the first and second subsystems for transport of the medical fluid from one of the subsystems to the other subsystem. The connector comprises a valve device, a first connection pipe connectable to the first subsystem, and a second connection pipe connectable to the second subsystem. The valve device comprises a first part and a second part, which are movable in relation to each other to permit an opening movement from a closed position, preventing a fluid communication between the first and second connection pipes, and an open position permitting the fluid communication. The medical product comprises a blocking member preventing, in a blocking state, the opening movement, and permitting changing of the blocking state to a non-blocking state permitting the opening movement.

  • Patent number: 8197460
    Abstract: A flexible multicompartment container provided for storage and mixing together of a at least a first and a second single solution. Each single solution is stored in a separate compartment (1, 2) of the container. The compartments are separated by means of seals (5, 6) rupturable by manipulation of the container to thereby mix the contents together in a mixing compartment for delivery. The first compartment (1) is filled to a first filling degree, FD1, and the second compartment is filled to a second filling degree, FD2. The first filling degree is larger than the second filling degree. The filling degree in the mixing compartment, FDMC, is larger than the filling degree in the second compartment.
