Abstract
The object of the invention is a flexible plastic container for the spatially separated storage and, optionally, selective sterilization of the ingredients of preparations for parenteral or enteral use. The container comprises three compartments being suited for taking up the ingredients, namely carbohydrates within compartment 3, lipids within compartment 4, and amino acids within compartment 5 as well as connections between the compartments which can be opened sterilely from the outside. The proportions by volume of the compartments are selected such that rapid mixing of all ingredients without time-consuming pressing and kneading operations by the hospital personnel is possible within compartment 5.
