Abstract

Ein medizinischer Behälter (1), insbesondere ein Dialyse-Infusionsbehälter hat eine klare Behälterwand (4), welche mit wenigstens einem mattierten Druckfeld (14) und optional wenigstens einer lesbaren Kennzeichnung (14') versehen ist. Das Druckfeld (14) und ggf. die Kennzeichnung (14') ist in Form wenigstens eines Oberflächenabschnitts der Behälterwand (4) ausgebildet, welcher sich von der umgebenden Behälterwandoberfläche visuell und/oder strukturell erkennbar abhebt, wobei der Oberflächenabschnitt zusammen mit der Herstellung der Behälterwand (4) ausgebildet wird. Der Oberflächenabschnitt kann beispielsweise erhaben und/oder vertieft und/oder mattiert ausgebildet sein, wohingegen die restliche Behälterwand (4) demgegenüber klar ist. Die Behälterwand (4) kann bevorzugt, jedoch nicht ausschließlich durch ein Blasformverfahren gebildet werden, wobei der Oberflächenabschnitt durch ein Negativ an der Formrauminnenwand des Blasformwerkzeugs ausgebildet wird, das bei der Ausbildung der Behälterwand (4) auf diese übertragen wird.

A medical container (1), in particular a dialysis infusion container, has a clear container wall (4) which is provided with at least one matted pressure field (14) and optionally at least one readable identification (14 '). The pressure field (14) and possibly the marking (14 ') is in the form of at least one surface section of the container wall (4), which visually and / or structurally recognizable from the surrounding container wall surface, wherein the surface portion together with the production of the container wall (4) is formed. The surface portion may be formed, for example, raised and / or recessed and / or frosted, whereas the remaining container wall (4) on the other hand is clear. The container wall (4) may preferably, but not exclusively, be formed by a blow-molding process, the surface portion being formed by a negative on the cavity inside wall of the blow-molding tool which is transferred to the container wall (4) during formation thereof.
