Abstract

A flexible container for medical solutions is provided that includes first and second film sheets sealed together along multiple sides so as to form a pouch having an open end. An end port member is located between and sealed to the first and second film sheets near the open end of the pouch to enclose the interior of the container. The end port member has at least one integrally-formed access port for fluid communication between the exterior and the interior of the flexible container. A portion of the first and second film sheets extend beyond the end port member and are sealed together along the edges of the extended portions so as to form a protective cover for the access ports. The protective cover is detachable.
