Abstract
A collapsible container for medical use which has an improved low temperature characteristics and can withstand high temperatures of high-pressure steam sterilization, includes a container main body made by irradiating a hollow molding having a desired shape formed of an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer with an electron beam to cross-link the copolymer, thus providing a main body. The main body is completely sealed at its periphery except for a predetermined portion providing a non-sealed portion. The end of a functional accessory for achieving the function of the container for medical use is inserted in the non-sealed part of the main body. The accessory is sealed, at the inserted end, to the main body through an interlayer of a non-cross-linked ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer.
