Abstract
A container suitable for storing and dispensing parenteral fluids comprises a flat member 2 inserted into a pouch 1 of plastics material. The member has two ports 9, 10 passing therethrough which are protected by removeable tabs 14, 15 having passageways 19, 20 which are coaxial with the ports. The port 9 is sealed after filling by a cup-shaped closure (25, FIG. 4 not shown). The port 10 is closed by a ruptureable membrane and may have a resilient plug (29, FIG. 5 not shown) and needle guide (30, FIG. 5 not shown). The tabs may be connected to the member by portions 16, 16a, 17, 17a and 18 of reduced thickness. The outer ends of the passageways are sealed by covers 21, 22 or by flattening and sealing the ends of the passageways. The member, ports and tabs may be integrally formed by injection moulding (FIG. 1).
