Description

本発明は、医療用容器の製造方法に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a medical container.

医療用容器には、例えば、点滴用の薬液を収納する輸液用容器、中心静脈に直接投与するために栄養分を収納するＩＶＨバッグ、経腸栄養剤を収納するバッグ、骨髄やリンパ球などの生体細胞を収納する細胞培養用バッグ、尿を収納する採尿バッグ、各種薬液を収納するバッグなど各種のバッグがある。これら医療用容器は、古くは硬質容器であったが、現在では、殆どが軟質容器となっている。
軟質容器は、軟質樹脂製シートにより構成された軟質バッグ(容器本体)に、排出ポート、混注ポート等を取り付けることにより作製されている。そして、軟質バッグへのポート等の取付けは、軟質樹脂製シート間にポート等を配置し、ポート等の外周面付近をシール用金型によりヒートシールすることにより行われている。
しかしながら、軟質バッグに形成されたポート等の固定対象部材取付部にポート等を配置した際、ポート等には厚みがあるので固定対象部材取付部を構成するシートにはある程度テンションがかかっている。このため、シート用金型を用いてヒートシールする際に、ポート等の外周面付近に位置するシート部分が金型の押圧に反発した状態でヒートシールされる。このため、ポート等の外周面上もしくは両側に位置するシートが肉薄になり易く、また穴あき等が発生する場合がある。そして、薬剤室収納側における穴あき（ピンホール）は、バッグ内の輸液の漏れや変質の原因となる。
そこで、本発明者は、特開２００６−２０４６１０（特許文献１）を提案している。 Medical containers include, for example, infusion containers that contain infusion drug solutions, IVH bags that contain nutrients for direct administration to the central vein, bags that contain enteral nutrients, and living organisms such as bone marrow and lymphocytes. There are various types of bags such as a cell culture bag for storing cells, a urine collection bag for storing urine, and a bag for storing various drug solutions. These medical containers have been hard containers in the past, but now most of them are soft containers.
The soft container is manufactured by attaching a discharge port, a mixed injection port, and the like to a soft bag (container body) made of a soft resin sheet. The port or the like is attached to the soft bag by arranging the port or the like between the soft resin sheets and heat-sealing the vicinity of the outer peripheral surface of the port or the like with a sealing mold.
However, when a port or the like is arranged in a fixing target member mounting portion such as a port formed in the soft bag, the port or the like has a thickness, so that a certain tension is applied to the sheet constituting the fixing target member mounting portion. For this reason, when heat-sealing using the sheet mold, the sheet portion located near the outer peripheral surface of the port or the like is heat-sealed in a state repelling the pressing of the mold. For this reason, the sheets located on the outer peripheral surface or both sides of the port or the like are likely to become thin, and perforations may occur. And the perforation (pinhole) in the chemical | medical chamber storage side causes the leakage of the infusion solution in a bag, and a quality change.
Therefore, the present inventor has proposed Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2006-204610 (Patent Document 1).

特開２００６−２０４６１０JP 2006-204610 A

特許文献１は、薬剤室を有する軟質バッグ２と固定対象部材１２，１７とを有する医療用容器１の製造方法であり、固定対象部材取付部７，８を有する軟質樹脂製シート２ａ，２ｂにより構成された軟質バッグ２と部材１２，１７とを準備する工程と、部材１２，１７を取付部７，８に配置する配置工程と、配置された部材１２，１７の外周面付近１８を圧迫して取付部７，８を構成するシート同士を近接もしくは接触させる圧迫工程と、圧迫工程による圧迫を維持した状態で圧迫された部分１８よりも軟質バッグ周縁側の取付部付近１９にて部材１２，１７を軟質バッグ２にヒートシールする工程を備える。
上記のものでも十分な効果を有するが、薬剤室収納側における穴あき（ピンホール）の発生防止をより確実に防止できるものが求められていた。
そこで、本発明は、ポート固定部の薬剤室側における穴あき（ピンホール）の発生防止をより確実に防止することができる医療用容器の製造方法を提供する。 Patent document 1 is a manufacturing method of the medical container 1 which has the soft bag 2 which has a chemical | medical agent chamber, and the fixing target members 12 and 17, and is based on soft resin sheet 2a, 2b which has the fixing target member attaching part 7 and 8. A step of preparing the configured soft bag 2 and the members 12, 17; an arrangement step of arranging the members 12, 17 on the attachment portions 7, 8; and pressing the vicinity of the outer peripheral surface 18 of the arranged members 12, 17 The member 12 in the vicinity of the attachment portion 19 on the peripheral side of the soft bag rather than the portion 18 pressed in a state in which the sheets constituting the attachment portions 7 and 8 are brought close to or in contact with each other and the compression in the compression step is maintained. 17 is heat-sealed to the soft bag 2.
Although the above-described one has a sufficient effect, there has been a demand for one that can more reliably prevent the occurrence of perforation (pinhole) on the medicine chamber storage side.
Therefore, the present invention provides a method for manufacturing a medical container that can more reliably prevent the occurrence of perforation (pinhole) on the drug chamber side of the port fixing portion.

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, an internal space (medicine chamber) 3, 4 and one end and the other end are sealed. One end side seal portion 5 is provided at one end portion of the container body 2, and the other end side seal portion 6 is provided at the other end portion. The one end side seal portion 5 and the other end side seal portion 6 are wide seal portions. The container body 2 is composed of opposing soft resin sheets 2a and 2b obtained by flattening a tube-shaped molded body.
Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the one end side seal portion 5 of the container body 2 is provided with a discharge port attachment portion 7 which is a port attachment portion. The discharge port mounting portion 7 is provided so that the internal space of the container body 2 (in the embodiment of the present invention, the first drug chamber 3) and the outside communicate with each other by not sealing a part of the one end side seal portion 5. It has been. The discharge port attachment portion 7 is expanded in diameter from the inner space 3 side of the container body 2 toward the outer edge of the container body 2 so that the discharge port 12 can be easily attached (arranged and inserted).
Further, in this embodiment, the internal space of the container body 2 is divided into a first drug chamber 3 and a second drug chamber 4 by a detachable partition weak seal 10 as shown in FIGS. Has been. The internal space of the container body 2 may be a single chamber that is not partitioned by the partition weak seal portion.

容器本体２は、熱可塑性軟質合成樹脂により作製されている。容器本体２は、インフレーション成形法により筒状に成形されたものが好ましい。なお、容器本体２は、例えば、Ｔダイ法、ブロー成形法、ドライラミネート法、ホットメルトラミネート法、共押出インフレーション法、共押出Ｔダイ法、ホットプレス法等の種々の方法により製造されたものでもよい。そして、容器本体２は、製造過程において扁平に折り曲げられることにより２つの側辺が形成される。また、必要により軽くプレスすることにより、折り曲げられた側辺を形成してもよい。

The container body 2 is manufactured by various methods such as a T-die method, a blow molding method, a dry laminating method, a hot melt laminating method, a coextrusion inflation method, a coextrusion T die method, and a hot press method. But you can. And the container main body 2 is formed into two sides by being bent flat in the manufacturing process. Moreover, you may form the bent side by lightly pressing as needed.
The container body 2 preferably has a water vapor barrier property. As the degree of water vapor barrier property, the water vapor permeability is preferably 50 g / m 2 · 24 hrs · 40 ° C. · 90% RH or less, more preferably 10 g / m 2 · 24 hrs · 40 ° C. · 90% RH or less. More preferably, it is 1 g / m 2 · 24 hrs · 40 ° C. · 90% RH or less. This water vapor permeability is measured by the method described in JISK7129 (Method A).
Thus, the container main body 2 has a water vapor barrier property, so that evaporation of moisture from the inside of the medical container 1 can be prevented. As a result, it is possible to prevent a decrease in liquid filling and concentration. Examples of the material for forming the container body 2 include polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polybutadiene, polyolefins such as ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA), olefin elastomers, and styrene elastomers. Various thermoplastic elastomers or those arbitrarily combined (blend resin, polymer alloy, laminate, etc.) can be mentioned. The resin material to be used preferably has high transparency, moderate flexibility, heat resistance and water resistance that can withstand high-pressure steam sterilization (autoclave sterilization). As the container main body 2, one in which the inner surface of the portion to be heat sealed is made of a thermoplastic synthetic resin is used. In particular, the container body 2 is preferably one in which the entire inner surface or the entire bag is made of a thermoplastic synthetic resin.

また、容器本体２の形成材料として、ポリオレフィンが含有されるとき、本発明の有用性が大きいものとなる。したがって、本発明においては、容器本体２の形成材料として、ポリオレフィンを含むものであるのが好ましい。容器本体２の形成材料として、特に好ましいものとして、ポリエチレンまたはポリプロピレンに、スチレン−ブタジエン共重合体やスチレン−エチレン−ブチレン−スチレンブロック共重合体等のスチレン系熱可塑性エラストマーあるいはオレフィン系熱可塑性エラストマーをブレンドし柔軟化した軟質樹脂を挙げることができる。この材料は、高強度で柔軟性に富み、耐熱性（特に滅菌時の耐熱性）、耐水性が高い他、加工性が特に優れ、また、軟質バッグは、前述したような材料よりなる単層構造のもの（単層体）であってもよいし、また種々の目的で、複数の層（特に異種材料の層）を重ねた多層積層体であってもよい。多層積層体の場合、複数の樹脂層を重ねたものであってもよいし、少なくとも１層の樹脂層に金属層を積層したものであってもよい。複数の樹脂層を重ねたものの場合、それぞれの樹脂の利点を併有することができ、例えば、容器本体２の耐衝撃性を向上させたり、対ブロッキング性を付与したりすることができる。また、金属層を有するものの場合、容器本体２のガスバリヤー性等を向上させることができる。例えば、アルミ箔等のフィルムが積層された場合、ガスバリヤー性の向上とともに、遮光性を付与することができる。また、酸化チタン、酸化アルミニウム、酸化ケイ素等の酸化物からなる層を形成した場合、ガスバリヤー性の向上とともに、シート状筒状体２の透明性を維持することができ、内部の視認性を確保することができる。なお、容器本体２が多層積層体である場合、その内表面部分を形成する材料が、前述した材料であるのが好ましい。   Moreover, when polyolefin is contained as a forming material of the container body 2, the usefulness of the present invention is great. Therefore, in this invention, it is preferable that polyolefin is included as a forming material of the container main body 2. As a material for forming the container body 2, as a particularly preferable material, a styrene-based thermoplastic elastomer or olefin-based thermoplastic elastomer such as styrene-butadiene copolymer or styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene block copolymer is added to polyethylene or polypropylene. Mention may be made of soft resins blended and softened. This material has high strength and flexibility, heat resistance (especially heat resistance during sterilization), high water resistance, and particularly excellent processability. The soft bag is a single layer made of the above-mentioned materials. It may be a structure (single layer), or may be a multilayer laminate in which a plurality of layers (particularly layers of different materials) are stacked for various purposes. In the case of a multilayer laminate, a plurality of resin layers may be stacked, or a metal layer may be stacked on at least one resin layer. In the case where a plurality of resin layers are stacked, the advantages of the respective resins can be provided together. For example, the impact resistance of the container body 2 can be improved or anti-blocking properties can be imparted. Further, in the case of a metal layer, the gas barrier property of the container body 2 can be improved. For example, when a film such as an aluminum foil is laminated, the light barrier property can be imparted with the improvement of the gas barrier property. In addition, when a layer made of an oxide such as titanium oxide, aluminum oxide, or silicon oxide is formed, the gas barrier property can be improved and the transparency of the sheet-like cylindrical body 2 can be maintained. Can be secured. In addition, when the container main body 2 is a multilayer laminated body, it is preferable that the material which forms the inner surface part is the material mentioned above.

容器本体２を構成するシート（単層または多層積層体）２ａ，２ｂの厚さは、その層構成や用いる素材の特性（柔軟性、強度、水蒸気透過性、耐熱性等）等に応じて適宜決定され、特に限定されるものではないが、通常は、１００〜５００μｍ程度であるのが好ましく、２００〜３００μｍ程度であるのがより好ましい。

容器本体２の一端側シール部５及び他端側シール部６は、熱融着（ヒートシール）、高周波融着等により形成されることが好ましく、特に、熱融着により行うことが好ましい。 The thickness of the sheets (single layer or multilayer laminate) 2a, 2b constituting the container body 2 is appropriately determined depending on the layer configuration and the characteristics of the material used (flexibility, strength, water vapor permeability, heat resistance, etc.) Although it is determined and is not particularly limited, it is usually preferably about 100 to 500 μm, more preferably about 200 to 300 μm.
Moreover, although the volume of the medical container 1 changes with kinds etc. of the liquid accommodated in an inside, it is preferable normally that it is about 50-5000 ml, and it is more preferable that it is about 100-3000 ml.
The one end side seal portion 5 and the other end side seal portion 6 of the container body 2 are preferably formed by heat fusion (heat sealing), high frequency fusion, or the like, and particularly preferably by heat fusion.

仕切用弱シール部１０は、図１，図４に示すように、容器本体２の中央付近に形成された帯状のシール部である。仕切用弱シール部１０は、第１の薬剤室３と第２の薬剤室４に液体が充填された状態の医療用容器１のいずれか一方の室を掌等で押圧したり絞るように握ったりすること等により、剥離可能な程度のシール強度を備える。また、仕切用弱シール部の両端部には、実質的に剥離しない強シール部１０ａが形成されている。このように仕切用弱シール部１０により容器本体２内を区分することにより、反応等による変質、劣化を生じる物質を含有する液体を使用するまでは別々に保存でき、使用に際し、両液を混合することが好ましいとき等に適用することができる。このような液体としては、例えば、アミノ酸電解質液とブドウ糖液、ブドウ糖液と重曹液等の組み合わせが挙げられる。また、上記のような仕切用弱シール部を備えない場合には、どのような液体を充填してもよく、例えば、生理食塩水、電解質溶液、リンゲル液、高カロリー輸液、ブドウ糖液、注射用水、腹膜透析液、経口（腸）栄養剤等が挙げられる。なお、容器本体２（医療用容器１）は、仕切用弱シール部を備えるものに限定されずに、単室構造のものであってもよい。   The partition weak seal portion 10 is a belt-like seal portion formed near the center of the container body 2 as shown in FIGS. The partition weak seal portion 10 holds the first drug chamber 3 and the second drug chamber 4 so as to press or squeeze one of the chambers of the medical container 1 filled with liquid with a palm or the like. The seal strength is such that it can be peeled off. Moreover, the strong seal part 10a which does not peel substantially is formed in the both ends of the weak seal part for a partition. By separating the inside of the container main body 2 by the partition weak seal portion 10 in this way, it can be stored separately until a liquid containing a substance that causes alteration or deterioration due to reaction or the like is used, and both liquids are mixed in use. It can be applied when it is preferable to do so. Examples of such a liquid include a combination of an amino acid electrolyte solution and a glucose solution, a glucose solution and a sodium bicarbonate solution, and the like. Further, in the case where the weak seal part for partition as described above is not provided, any liquid may be filled, for example, physiological saline, electrolyte solution, Ringer's solution, high calorie infusion solution, glucose solution, water for injection, Examples include peritoneal dialysis fluid and oral (intestinal) nutrients. In addition, the container main body 2 (medical container 1) is not limited to the one provided with the partition weak seal portion, and may be a single chamber structure.

The parts to be separated are separated. Further, in this state, a wrinkle due to sheet sagging does not occur during sealing between the cylindrical port member and the sheet 2a, 2b at the port mounting portion, and a suction process described later can be performed satisfactorily. A portion of the sheet that forms the port attachment portion 7 is close to the cylindrical port member 13 in some tension. When heat sealing is performed using the sealing mold in this state, the cylindrical port member 13 out of the sheets 2a and 2b constituting the port mounting portion 7 due to the repulsion of the sheet 2a and the sheet 2b against the pressing of the sealing mold.
