Zusammenfassung: | A flexible container (10) is provided for the storage and mixing together of diluents and medicaments. The container incorporates multiple compartments (18, 20, 22) separated by preferentially peeled seals (24, 26) in which the diluents and medicaments are stored. The container is constructed of thermoplastic materials having high oxygen and moisture barrier properties which allows the container to be stored for extended periods of time without degrading the contents. The peelable seals are ruptured by manipulation of the container to thereby mix the contents together for delivery through standard IV arrangement to a patient. The container is fillable with a single component liquid medicament which may be susceptible to sloshing or turbulence. Turbulence is minimized by eliminating the internal gaseous head space by initially forming the head space with a low molecular weight gas such as helium. |
