Abstract

A compartmented and collapsible container system for sterile components which has a separate compartment for each component with a secondary container compartment within a larger container compartment, yet will permit the intermixing of the components upon the selective delamination of a frangible seal which separates the compartments. The compartmented container is specifically constructed for use with two components which are normally incompatible when mixed. The container herein described permits the two incompatible components to be sterilized in a disposable, flexible container. At the time of usage, the two materials can be readily intermixed in the same container and administered therefrom, such as with the usual intravenous administration equipment. An important feature of the container system is a selective frangible seal which seals one container inside the other, yet is readily delaminated to permit the free flow of materials between the container compartments while securing the containers to each other.
