Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container for infusion or similar medical solutions, with an upper and a lower wall, which are connected to each other via two pairs of opposite side walls, with an outlet nozzle which can be closed by a stopper and a screw cap and which in a first Side wall section is provided which connects two first adjacent side walls to one another and which is set back in the direction of one of the opposite side walls.
  • Such a container is known from GB-A-1 216 534.
  • infusion solutions are required which are kept in glass bottles.
  • glass bottles have a standardized spout, which is closed with a standard stopper and a screw cap. For removal, the glass bottle is hung up with a usually separate hanging device on a gallows with the outlet connection pointing downward, the stopper being pierced with a perfusion or infusion set to remove the liquid.
  • the rubber stopper is usually pierced by a further, relatively thin mandrel to vent the glass bottle. Due to these multiple manipulations on the outlet nozzle, there is a risk of undesired fluid leakage and contamination of the medical fluid. Furthermore, the temperature is hardly possible the solution to be monitored by thermal probes.
  • an opening is provided on the container diagonally opposite the outlet nozzle, which opening is permanently closed with a perforable cap.
  • lugs are formed on the corners of the container, which however increase the dead volume claimed by the container during transport, for example.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of providing a container for infusion or similar medical solutions in which the transport volume for the solution is used as far as possible and the outlet nozzle and the cap remain protected.
  • a second side wall section connecting the second adjacent side walls and set back in the direction of one of the opposite first two side walls is provided, in which an opening is arranged which is opposite the outlet nozzle with respect to the center of the container and with a perforable cap is permanently closed, the outlet nozzle and the opening being arranged within a rectangular, in particular square, contour which results from the cut of the four side walls including their extensions.
  • the container can be conveniently accommodated in a relatively narrow space, for example under the seat in the aircraft.
  • the square shape is preferred for the height and width of the container for aesthetic reasons.
  • a suspension device in a further embodiment of the invention.
  • This can consist of a web which is provided with a through-hole and is formed from the side wall next to the attachment.
  • a handle can expediently be provided on the container, part of a side wall preferably being recessed inwards and bridged by a molded handle in order to reduce the dead space in the packaging. It proves to be expedient here that the part of the side wall next to the section of the first side wall, is formed approximately in the middle of the same.
  • the container can be made particularly well from plastic, with polypropylene being preferred.
  • the container can thus not only be sterilized inert to various chemical substances, but can also be sterilized at temperatures of 120 ° Celsius without fear of a shape-changing heat load or a change in the crosslinking structure of the polymer. Since polypropylene is less porous than other plastics, the risk of contamination is reduced, for example in the form of diffusing oxygen.
  • the upper and the lower wall are provided with reinforcing profiles, which can each be formed as a pair of opposing depressions near the rounded edges, the two bottoms being opposite one another Depressions are interconnected.
  • the container has an upper, essentially flat and almost square wall 2 and a similarly designed, essentially flat lower wall 4, which are connected to one another via two pairs of opposite side walls 6, 8 and 10, 12.
  • the container has a substantially cuboid shape with rounded edges and corners, the depth t of each of the side walls 6, 8, 10, 12 being approximately one fifth of the height h of the upper wall 2 or the lower wall 4.
  • the overall width b of the container is approximately equal to its height h.
  • the container takes on an idiosyncratic appearance in that the portion 14 of the side wall 8 which is adjacent to the side wall 10 and which makes up about a third of its length is inclined towards the opposite side wall 6.
  • the inclination is selected so that an outlet spout 18 formed outward from the section 14 does not only not protrude over an extension of the remaining part of the side wall 8 nor over an extension of the adjacent side wall 10, but is set back so far that one into the opening of the outlet nozzle 18 inserted rubber stopper and a screw cap screwed onto the outlet nozzle 18 do not protrude beyond the extensions of the side walls 8 and 10.
  • the depth t is only insignificantly greater than the largest outside diameter of the standard screw cap (not shown) suitable for the outlet connection 18 (corresponding to the DIN standard corresponding to the container volume).
  • the side wall 6 opposite the side wall 8 is along a section adjacent to the side wall 12 which lies opposite the side wall 10 16 inclined inwards at an angle such that the sections 14 and 16 extend parallel to one another.
  • a cylindrical projection 20 projects outwards, the free end of which is thickened in a ring shape and encloses an opening into the interior of the container.
  • the largest outer diameter of the metal cap is smaller than the depth t.
  • the length of the section 16 and thus its setback is chosen so that the cap does not protrude over an extension of the remaining part of the side wall 6 nor over an extension of the side wall 12. It can be seen that the neck 20 and the outlet 18 opposite each other with respect to the center of the container.
  • the section 16 has at the transition to the remaining part of the side wall 6 an inward offset in the view according to FIG. 1, consisting of a wall piece 24 parallel to the remaining part of the side wall 6 and a wall piece 26 parallel to the side wall 12.
  • the angular inward offset becomes central filled by a solid, integrally molded strip 28 which is penetrated by a through hole 30.
  • the angular inward offset with bar 28 and bore 30 form a suspension device for the container, the function of which will be explained below.
  • the middle third of the side wall 8 is designed as an inwardly offset section 32 with flanks 33 and 34 at the transitions to the section 14 or to the remaining part of the side wall 8.
  • This depression is by a centrally on the flanks 33 and 34 integrally bridged web 40, the outer edge or surface of the web 40 is flush with the side wall 8. This results in a recessed handle 38.
  • the container is produced from two polypropylene half-shells of the same type, the upper wall 2 and the upper halves of the side walls belonging to one half-shell and the lower wall 4 and the lower halves of the side walls belonging to the other shell. Both half-shells are welded together along the half-shell edges running around the side surfaces (only indicated in FIG. 2 at 36), so that a medium-tight container with a main opening at the outlet nozzle 18 and a secondary opening at the opposite extension 20 and with a volume of, for example, 5000 ml results.
  • each of them is provided with two profiles in the form of frustoconical depressions in the region of the opposite opening-free corners of the container.
  • the two depressions 42 and 44 of the upper wall 2 and only one of the two depressions 46 in the lower wall 4 can be seen. It can be seen that the total of four depressions lie opposite one another in pairs in such a way that two opposing depressions 44, 46 have a common floor 48.
  • the upper wall 2 and the lower wall 4 are mutually supported.
  • the outer design of the outlet 18 corresponds to the DIN standard for infusion bottles and therefore not with one shown standard plug and a cross-over, also not shown screw cap can be closed.
  • the container shown When using the container shown, it can be filled and closed, for example, with an organ-protective solution, such as is required for organ preservation in situ, via the outlet connection 18.
  • the container which can be transported on the handle 38 can then be hung on a hook of a gallows which is usually present on the operating table by means of the hanging device described, the hook penetrating the bore 30.
  • the outlet nozzle 18 then points downward and the sections 14 and 16 then extend horizontally.
  • an outlet mandrel is passed through the stopper of the outlet connector 18 and an aeration mandrel is introduced into the container from above through the cap 22.
  • a thermal probe can be inserted through the cap 22.
  • the removal arrangement on the outlet connection 18 remains unaffected.
