Abstract
A medical container with an electrolyte solution stored therein is disclosed. It is formed of a resinmade container main body, a base solution compartment, at least one isolated compartment or connected compartment, and an openable portion. The base solution compartment is arranged in the container main body and is filled with the electrolyte solution in a state steamsterilized together with the container main body. The isolated compartment or connected compartment is arranged in the container main body, is isolated from the base solution compartment by an isolation wall interposed therebetween, and is filled with a bicarbonate. The openable portion permits aseptic communication between the base solution compartment and the isolated compartment or connected compartment by an operation from an outside of the container main body at the time of use. The openable portion is formed at at least a part of the isolation wall. This medical container makes it possible to store an electrolyte solution, dialysate or the like at a pH value close to that of the body fluid without inducing kidney problems, diarrhea, vomiting or the like due to acidosis or the like upon use.
