Liquid-accommodating container for a device for providing vacuum for medical applications, method for producing the container, and device

The invention relates to a liquid-accommodating container (8) for a device (2) for providing vacuum for medical applications, in particular for the vacuum treatment of wounds on a human or animal body, which device can be worn on the body of a user and additionally can be operated in a stationary manner, wherein the device (2) comprises a first housing part (4), which has a vacuum-generating apparatus, and the container (8) for accommodating bodily fluids, in particular wound secretions sucked out of a wound, in an interior of the container, which container can be discarded after use, wherein the container (8) can be fastened to and detached from the first housing part (4) of the device (2) and, in the fastened state, vacuum can be applied to the interior of the container (8) by the vacuum-generating apparatus, and wherein a connection (10) for a suction line leading to the body is provided on the container (8), such that vacuum communication between the vacuum-generating apparatus, the container (8), and the suction line leading to the body can be established, wherein the container (8) comprises two half-shell parts (20, 22), which are permanently joined to each other and bound the interior of the container in the joined state, wherein a region for accommodating a filter (100) is also formed in the interior of the container (8); according to the invention, the filter (100) lies against an inner region (106) of the half-shell part (22) facing away from the first housing part (4) on one side and against a sealing element (54) on the other side under axial stress in an axial direction (102) extending approximately perpendicularly to a dividing plane (104) of the half-shell parts (20, 22), which sealing element (54) is attached to the half-shell part (20) facing the first housing part (4), wherein the axial stress is formed by the joining of the half-shell parts (20, 22) and associated deformation of the sealing element (54) by the filter (100).
