Abstract

In a medical container comprising a flexible vessel containing a fluid, inlet means attached to the vessel for admitting another fluid into the vessel, and an outlet, a tubular member is extended through the vessel wall as the inlet means and closed at the outer end with a plugging member to shut off the tubular member channel from the exterior and provided at the inner end with a bacterial filter, the plugging member permitting access to the tubular member channel from the exterior when the other fluid is to be admitted into the vessel. A breakable closure member is further mounted on the inner end of the tubular member to shut off the filter member from the interior space of the vessel, but is breakable to permit the communication of the interior space with the tubular member when the other fluid is to be admitted.
