 本発明は、2枚のシートが溶着されてバッグ状に形成された容器本体を有する医療用容器に関する。 The present invention relates to a medical container having a container body formed by welding two sheets into a bag shape.
 従来、薬液容器や輸液容器等の医療用容器の1種として、2枚の柔軟な樹脂製のシートを溶着によって貼りあわせてバッグ状に形成された容器本体を有する医療用容器(いわゆるソフトバッグ)が知られている(例えば、特開平8-155009号公報を参照)。ソフトバッグの容器本体を構成するシートは、容器本体内に充填された内容液の残液量を視認できるように透明性を有する材料により構成される。また、容器本体には、通常、残液量を示す目盛が付されている。ソフトバッグの使用時(排液時)においては、内容液の液面と、容器本体に付された目盛との位置関係から、内容液の残量を確認できるようになっている。 Conventionally, a medical container (so-called soft bag) having a container body formed as a bag by bonding two flexible resin sheets by welding as a kind of medical container such as a chemical container or an infusion container Is known (see, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 8-155009). The sheet constituting the container body of the soft bag is made of a material having transparency so that the remaining liquid amount of the content liquid filled in the container body can be visually recognized. Moreover, the scale which shows the amount of residual liquid is normally attached | subjected to the container main body. When the soft bag is used (drained), the remaining amount of the content liquid can be confirmed from the positional relationship between the liquid level of the content liquid and the scale attached to the container body.
 従来のソフトバッグの場合、容器本体を構成する2枚のシート同士が、容器本体内で貼り付くことがある。特に、内容液の量が200mL以下のソフトバッグの場合、容器本体内に内容液が充填された状態で2枚のシート同士の距離が近いため、排液時に2枚のシート同士の貼り付きが発生しやすい。排液時にこのようなシート同士の貼り付きが液面付近で発生すると、貼り付きの箇所で液面が湾曲してしまい、目盛との関係で液面がどこにあるのか不明確になり、結果として、残液量を把握することが困難となる。 In the case of a conventional soft bag, two sheets constituting the container body may stick to each other in the container body. In particular, in the case of a soft bag with an amount of content liquid of 200 mL or less, the two sheets are close to each other when the content liquid is filled in the container body, so that the two sheets are stuck to each other during drainage. Likely to happen. When such sticking between sheets occurs near the liquid level during drainage, the liquid level is curved at the sticking point, making it unclear where the liquid level is in relation to the scale, and as a result It becomes difficult to grasp the remaining liquid amount.
 液面付近でのシート同士の貼り付きを防止するために、例えば、容器本体内への液体の充填の際に空気を追加注入して残空量(未使用状態で容器本体内に存在する空気の量)を多くすることが挙げられる。しかしながら、空気の追加注入は、設備導入コストの面で不利である。 In order to prevent sticking between sheets near the liquid surface, for example, when filling the liquid into the container body, additional air is injected to leave the remaining amount (air remaining in the container body in an unused state). To increase the amount). However, the additional injection of air is disadvantageous in terms of equipment introduction cost.
 本発明はこのような課題を考慮してなされたものであり、必要以上の残空量の増加を伴うことなく、排液時の液面視認性の低下を抑制することができる医療用容器を提供することを目的とする。 The present invention has been made in consideration of such a problem, and a medical container capable of suppressing a decrease in liquid level visibility at the time of draining without accompanying an increase in the remaining amount of space more than necessary. The purpose is to provide.
 上記の目的を達成するため、本発明は、2枚のシートが互いに溶着されてバッグ状に形成され、液体収容部の外縁に沿って周回状に延在するシール部を有する容器本体と、前記容器本体の一端部に設けられた口部と、前記容器本体内に収容された液体と、を備えた医療用容器であって、前記シール部は、前記口部側に形成された第1シール部と、前記口部とは反対側に形成された第2シール部と、前記第1シール部と前記第2シール部の間に延在する1対のサイドシール部とを有し、前記各サイドシール部には、前記容器本体の内方に向かって膨出する膨出部が設けられ、前記医療用容器は加熱滅菌処理されている、ことを特徴とする。 In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a container main body having a seal portion in which two sheets are welded to each other and formed in a bag shape and extending in a circular shape along the outer edge of the liquid storage portion, A medical container comprising a mouth provided at one end of a container body and a liquid contained in the container body, wherein the seal part is a first seal formed on the mouth side. Part, a second seal part formed on the opposite side of the mouth part, and a pair of side seal parts extending between the first seal part and the second seal part, The side seal portion is provided with a bulging portion that bulges toward the inside of the container body, and the medical container is heat sterilized.
 上記のように構成された医療用容器によれば、サイドシール部に膨出部が設けられることによって、容器本体の液体収容部の両側部分が括れた形状となっている。このため、製造工程におけるシール処理後(溶着後)の冷却時の収縮異方性によって、シートに歪みが発生し、シート同士の貼り付きにくさが発生する。これにより、製造工程における容器本体への液体の充填時にシート同士の貼り付きが抑制され、この結果、空気を追加注入することなく適正な残空量が確保される。また、製造工程における加熱滅菌処理後の冷却時の収縮異方性によって、シートに歪みがさらに発生し、シート同士の貼り付きにくさが増強される。従って、排液時(使用時)に液面付近でシート同士が貼り付くことが抑制され、液面視認性が確保されるため、残液量を容易に把握することができる。 According to the medical container configured as described above, the side seal portion is provided with the bulging portion so that both side portions of the liquid storage portion of the container body are constricted. For this reason, the sheet is distorted due to shrinkage anisotropy during cooling after the sealing process (after welding) in the manufacturing process, and the sheets are difficult to stick to each other. Thereby, sticking of sheets to each other is suppressed at the time of filling the container main body with the liquid in the manufacturing process, and as a result, an appropriate remaining amount is ensured without additionally injecting air. Further, due to the shrinkage anisotropy during cooling after the heat sterilization treatment in the manufacturing process, the sheets are further distorted, and the difficulty of sticking between the sheets is enhanced. Therefore, sticking of sheets near the liquid surface is suppressed during drainage (during use), and liquid surface visibility is ensured, so that the remaining liquid amount can be easily grasped.
 上記の医療用容器において、前記膨出部は、前記サイドシール部の延在方向の略中央部に設けられてもよい。この構成により、排液時の液面付近でのシート同士の貼り付きを一層好適に抑制することができる。 In the above medical container, the bulging portion may be provided at a substantially central portion in the extending direction of the side seal portion. With this configuration, it is possible to more suitably suppress sticking between sheets near the liquid surface during drainage.
 上記の医療用容器において、前記サイドシール部のうち、前記膨出部と前記第1シール部との間の部分、及び前記膨出部と前記第2シール部との間の部分の各内側輪郭形状は、直線を有してもよい。 Said medical container WHEREIN: Each inner side outline of the part between the said bulging part and the said 1st seal part, and the part between the said bulging part and the said 2nd seal part among the said side seal parts. The shape may have a straight line.
 この構成により、膨出部を設けることによる残空量の減少を可及的に少なくすることができる。 This configuration makes it possible to minimize the decrease in the remaining amount of air due to the provision of the bulging portion.
 上記の医療用容器において、前記膨出部の内側輪郭形状は、弧状に形成されてもよい。この構成により、容器本体が外側から圧迫されることで内圧が上昇した場合であっても、膨出部の頂点に応力が集中しすぎることがなく、破袋を防止することができる。 In the above medical container, the inner contour shape of the bulging portion may be formed in an arc shape. With this configuration, even when the internal pressure is increased by pressing the container main body from the outside, stress is not excessively concentrated on the apex of the bulging portion, and bag breakage can be prevented.
 上記の医療用容器において、前記サイドシール部のうち、前記膨出部が形成された部分のシール幅は、他の部分のシール幅よりも大きくてもよい。この構成により、製造工程におけるシール処理時(溶着時)又は加熱滅菌処理時において、加熱後の冷却時の収縮異方性によるシートの歪みが効果的に得られる。 In the medical container described above, the seal width of the portion where the bulging portion is formed in the side seal portion may be larger than the seal width of the other portion. With this configuration, a sheet distortion due to shrinkage anisotropy during cooling after heating can be effectively obtained during the sealing process (welding) or the heat sterilization process in the manufacturing process.
 上記の医療用容器において、前記膨出部の外側輪郭形状は、直線状であってもよい。この構成により、製造工程におけるシール処理時(溶着時)又は加熱滅菌処理時において、加熱後の冷却時の収縮異方性によるシートの歪みが効果的に得られる。 In the above medical container, the outer contour shape of the bulging portion may be linear. With this configuration, a sheet distortion due to shrinkage anisotropy during cooling after heating can be effectively obtained during the sealing process (welding) or the heat sterilization process in the manufacturing process.
 上記の医療用容器において、前記液体の量が200mL以下であってもよい。 In the above medical container, the amount of the liquid may be 200 mL or less.
 本発明の医療用容器によれば、必要以上の残空量の増加を伴うことなく、排液時の液面視認性の低下を抑制することができる。 According to the medical container of the present invention, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the liquid level visibility during drainage without accompanying an increase in the remaining amount of space more than necessary.

 以下、本発明に係る医療用容器について好適な実施形態を挙げ、添付の図面を参照しながら説明する。 Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the medical container according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
 図1は、本発明の一実施形態に係る医療用容器10の全体斜視図である。医療用容器10は、内部に液室13を有するバッグ状の容器本体12と、容器本体12の下端部に取り付けられた口部14と、口部14の内側に配置された栓体16と、口部14に溶着されたフィルム18とを備える。 FIG. 1 is an overall perspective view of a medical container 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The medical container 10 includes a bag-shaped container main body 12 having a liquid chamber 13 therein, a mouth portion 14 attached to the lower end portion of the container main body 12, a plug 16 disposed inside the mouth portion 14, And a film 18 welded to the mouth portion 14.
 医療用容器10は、柔軟で透明性を有する樹脂製のシート20により容器本体12が構成された容器であり、いわゆるソフトバッグである。容器本体12の液室13には、予め所定の液体21が収容されている。液室13に収容される液体21としては、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、アミノ酸製剤、疼痛緩和剤、制吐剤、血流改善剤、フリーラジカル除去剤等が挙げられる。 The medical container 10 is a container in which the container body 12 is constituted by a flexible and transparent resin sheet 20 and is a so-called soft bag. A predetermined liquid 21 is stored in the liquid chamber 13 of the container body 12 in advance. Examples of the liquid 21 accommodated in the liquid chamber 13 include physiological saline, electrolyte solution, Ringer's solution, high calorie infusion, glucose solution, water for injection, amino acid preparation, pain relieving agent, antiemetic, blood flow improving agent, free radical. Examples include a remover.
 容器本体12は、シール部24において溶着された2枚のシート20(20a、20b)からなる。具体的には、容器本体12は、液室13を形成する液体収容部26と、液体収容部26の外縁に沿って周回状に延在するシール部24を有する。シール部24は、口部14側(下部側)に形成された第1シール部31と、口部14とは反対側(上部側)に形成された第2シール部32と、第1シール部31と第2シール部32の間に延在する一対のサイドシール部34とを有する。 The container body 12 is composed of two sheets 20 (20a, 20b) welded at the seal portion 24. Specifically, the container body 12 includes a liquid storage portion 26 that forms the liquid chamber 13 and a seal portion 24 that extends in a circular shape along the outer edge of the liquid storage portion 26. The seal portion 24 includes a first seal portion 31 formed on the mouth portion 14 side (lower side), a second seal portion 32 formed on the side opposite to the mouth portion 14 (upper side), and a first seal portion. 31 and a pair of side seal portions 34 extending between the second seal portions 32.
 第1シール部31及び第2シール部32は、シール部24のうち、医療用容器10の幅方向に延在する部分である。第1シール部31は、口部14の両側に位置する。第2シール部32は、液体収容部26を基準として第1シール部31の反対側に位置する。 The first seal portion 31 and the second seal portion 32 are portions of the seal portion 24 that extend in the width direction of the medical container 10. The first seal portion 31 is located on both sides of the mouth portion 14. The second seal portion 32 is located on the opposite side of the first seal portion 31 with respect to the liquid storage portion 26.
 図2に示すように、一対のサイドシール部34は、第1シール部31と第2シール部32の各両端間を、容器本体12の中心線Cに沿って延在する。各サイドシール部34の両端は、第1シール部31と第2シール部32に連なる。 As shown in FIG. 2, the pair of side seal portions 34 extend along the center line C of the container main body 12 between both ends of the first seal portion 31 and the second seal portion 32. Both ends of each side seal portion 34 are connected to the first seal portion 31 and the second seal portion 32.
 各サイドシール部34には、容器本体12の中心線C側(内方)に向かって膨出する膨出部36が設けられており、これにより、液体収容部26は、高さ方向の中央部が括れた形状となっている。膨出部36は、サイドシール部34の延在方向の略中央部に設けられる。膨出部36の内側輪郭形状は、弧状(円弧状)に形成される。すなわち、膨出部36には尖った頂部が設けられていない。膨出部36の内側輪郭形状の曲率半径Rは、例えば、20~450mmに設定される。膨出部36の外側輪郭形状は、直線状に形成される。 Each side seal portion 34 is provided with a bulging portion 36 that bulges toward the center line C side (inward) of the container body 12, so that the liquid storage portion 26 is located at the center in the height direction. It has a shape with a narrowed part. The bulging portion 36 is provided at a substantially central portion in the extending direction of the side seal portion 34. The inner contour shape of the bulging portion 36 is formed in an arc shape (arc shape). That is, the bulging portion 36 is not provided with a sharp top. The radius of curvature R of the inner contour shape of the bulging portion 36 is set to 20 to 450 mm, for example. The outer contour shape of the bulging portion 36 is formed in a straight line shape.
 サイドシール部34において、膨出部36の両側には、内側輪郭形状及び外側輪郭形状が直線状のストレート部38が設けられる。従って、サイドシール部34の外側輪郭形状は、膨出部36とその両側のストレート部38にわたって直線状である。このように、膨出部36の両側にストレート部38が設けられるため、膨出部36の長さAは、第1シール部31と第2シール部32との間の長さLよりも短い。 In the side seal part 34, on both sides of the bulging part 36, a straight part 38 whose inner contour shape and outer contour shape are linear is provided. Therefore, the outer contour shape of the side seal portion 34 is linear across the bulging portion 36 and the straight portions 38 on both sides thereof. Thus, since the straight portions 38 are provided on both sides of the bulging portion 36, the length A of the bulging portion 36 is shorter than the length L between the first seal portion 31 and the second seal portion 32. .
 ストレート部38からの膨出部36の高さBが小さすぎると、後述する加熱後の冷却時のシート20の収縮異方性による歪み量が足りず、液体収容部26におけるシート20の貼り付きにくさが得られにくい。逆に、膨出部36の高さBが大きすぎると、その分、容器本体12の有効内容量が減少する結果、容器本体12内の残空量が減りすぎる。 If the height B of the bulging portion 36 from the straight portion 38 is too small, the amount of distortion due to the shrinkage anisotropy of the sheet 20 at the time of cooling after heating, which will be described later, is insufficient, and the sheet 20 is stuck on the liquid storage portion 26. Difficult to get bitter. On the other hand, if the height B of the bulging portion 36 is too large, the effective internal volume of the container body 12 is reduced accordingly, so that the remaining amount in the container body 12 is reduced too much.
 そこで、膨出部36の高さBは、ストレート部38と容器本体12の中心線Cの距離Wよりも小さい。膨出部36の高さBと、ストレート部38と容器本体12の中心線Cの距離Wの比は、例えば、1:50~1:1.5に設定される。また、膨出部36の長さAと、膨出部36の高さBとの比は、例えば、2:1~60:1に設定される。 Therefore, the height B of the bulging portion 36 is smaller than the distance W between the straight portion 38 and the center line C of the container body 12. The ratio of the height B of the bulging portion 36 and the distance W between the straight portion 38 and the center line C of the container body 12 is set to, for example, 1:50 to 1: 1.5. Further, the ratio between the length A of the bulging portion 36 and the height B of the bulging portion 36 is set to 2: 1 to 60: 1, for example.
 上記のように、サイドシール部34の外側輪郭形状は、直線状であり、膨出部36はストレート部38に対して容器本体12の中心線C側に突出している。このため、膨出部36のシール幅W1は、サイドシール部34の他の部分(ストレート部38)のシール幅W2よりも大きい。 As described above, the outer contour shape of the side seal portion 34 is linear, and the bulging portion 36 protrudes toward the center line C side of the container body 12 with respect to the straight portion 38. For this reason, the seal width W1 of the bulging part 36 is larger than the seal width W2 of the other part (straight part 38) of the side seal part 34.
 容器本体12の液体収容部26の外表面には、内容液の液量を示す目盛部40が設けられている。本実施形態に係る医療用容器10の場合、目盛部40は、容器本体12の長さ方向(サイドシール部34の延在方向)に沿って間隔をおいて配置された複数の目盛線41を有する。排液の際、医療用容器10を吊るして口部14を下方に向けた状態にすると、透明性を有する容器本体12を通して内容液(液体21)の液面を視認でき、液面と目盛部40との位置関係から、残液量を把握することができる。 The scale part 40 which shows the liquid quantity of a content liquid is provided in the outer surface of the liquid storage part 26 of the container main body 12. As shown in FIG. In the case of the medical container 10 according to the present embodiment, the scale part 40 includes a plurality of scale lines 41 arranged at intervals along the length direction of the container body 12 (extending direction of the side seal part 34). Have. When draining the liquid, if the medical container 10 is hung and the mouth part 14 is directed downward, the liquid level of the content liquid (liquid 21) can be visually recognized through the transparent container body 12, and the liquid level and scale part. From the positional relationship with 40, the remaining liquid amount can be grasped.
 容器本体12の上端部には、ハンガー等に設けられるフック部48(図3参照)が挿入可能な穴28が設けられる。穴28の箇所でハンガー等に引っ掛かることにより、医療用容器10をハンガー等に吊り下げることができる。 The upper end of the container body 12 is provided with a hole 28 into which a hook portion 48 (see FIG. 3) provided on a hanger or the like can be inserted. The medical container 10 can be hung on the hanger or the like by being hooked on the hanger or the like at the hole 28.
 容器本体12(シート20)の構成材料としては、例えば、ポリオレフィン(例えば、ポリエチレン、ポリプロピレン、ポリブテン、エチレン-プロピレン共重合体、エチレン-酢酸ビニル共重合体、アイオノマー、あるいはこれら二種以上の混合物等)、ポリ塩化ビニル、ポリアミド、ポリイミド、あるいは上記2種以上の高分子材料の多層シートが挙げられる。特に、容器本体12(シート20)の構成材料としては、製造工程のシール処理時及び加熱滅菌処理時において、加熱後の冷却時に収縮異方性によるシート20の歪みが効果的に発生する材料、すなわち加熱後の冷却時の収縮率が大きい材料が採用されることが好ましい。そのような材料としては、例えば、ポリプロピレン、エチレン-酢酸ビニル共重合体、ポリエチレン、ポリ塩化ビニル等が挙げられる。 As a constituent material of the container body 12 (sheet 20), for example, polyolefin (eg, polyethylene, polypropylene, polybutene, ethylene-propylene copolymer, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, ionomer, or a mixture of two or more of these) ), Polyvinyl chloride, polyamide, polyimide, or a multilayer sheet of the above two or more polymer materials. In particular, as a constituent material of the container body 12 (sheet 20), a material in which distortion of the sheet 20 due to shrinkage anisotropy is effectively generated at the time of cooling after heating in the sealing process and the heat sterilization process of the manufacturing process, That is, it is preferable to employ a material having a large shrinkage ratio at the time of cooling after heating. Examples of such materials include polypropylene, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride and the like.
 容器本体12の下端部に接続された口部14は、流体の出入口を形成する部分である。口部14は、両端が開口した中空筒状(本実施形態では、中空円筒状)の部材である。口部14の構成材料としては、例えば、ポリプロピレン、ポリエチレン、ABS樹脂、ポリカーボネート、アクリル樹脂等の硬質樹脂が挙げられる。 The mouth part 14 connected to the lower end part of the container body 12 is a part forming a fluid inlet / outlet. The mouth portion 14 is a hollow cylindrical member (in this embodiment, a hollow cylindrical shape) whose both ends are open. Examples of the constituent material of the mouth portion 14 include hard resins such as polypropylene, polyethylene, ABS resin, polycarbonate, and acrylic resin.
 口部14に固定された栓体16は、口部14を気密及び液密に封止する部材である。栓体16は、シリンジに設けられた針、及び輸液ライン50に設けられた瓶針54(図3参照)を刺すことができ、且つ当該針及び瓶針54を抜いた後も液密性及び気密性を維持できるように、弾性材料により構成される。すなわち、栓体16は、いわゆるゴム栓である。 The plug 16 fixed to the mouth part 14 is a member that seals the mouth part 14 in an airtight and liquid-tight manner. The stopper 16 can pierce the needle provided on the syringe and the bottle needle 54 (see FIG. 3) provided on the infusion line 50, and can be liquid-tight after the needle and bottle needle 54 are removed. It is made of an elastic material so that airtightness can be maintained. That is, the plug body 16 is a so-called rubber plug.
 栓体16の構成材料としては、例えば、天然ゴム、ブチルゴム、イソプレンゴム、ブタジエンゴム、スチレン-ブタジエンゴム、シリコーンゴムのような各種ゴム材料や、ポリウレタン系、ポリエステル系、ポリアミド系、オレフィン系、スチレン系等の各種熱可塑性エラストマー、あるいはそれらの混合物等が挙げられる。 Examples of the constituent material of the plug body 16 include various rubber materials such as natural rubber, butyl rubber, isoprene rubber, butadiene rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber, and silicone rubber, and polyurethane, polyester, polyamide, olefin, and styrene. Examples thereof include various thermoplastic elastomers such as systems, or mixtures thereof.
 医療用容器10の初期状態(使用前状態)において、フィルム18は口部14の端部に剥離可能に溶着され、栓体16の表面がフィルム18によって覆われており、これにより、外部環境による栓体16の汚染が防止される。医療用容器10を使用する際には、口部14からフィルム18が剥離される。 In the initial state (pre-use state) of the medical container 10, the film 18 is releasably welded to the end of the mouth portion 14, and the surface of the plug body 16 is covered with the film 18, thereby depending on the external environment. Contamination of the plug 16 is prevented. When the medical container 10 is used, the film 18 is peeled from the mouth portion 14.
 次に、医療用容器10の製造方法の一例を説明する。 Next, an example of a method for manufacturing the medical container 10 will be described.
 重ね合わされた2枚の樹脂製のシート20(素材シート)を、シール部24に対応する形状の押圧面を有する金型で挟んで圧力をかけ、加熱することにより、2枚のシート20a、20b同士を溶着し、シール部24を形成する。あるいは、インフレーション成形で筒状に形成したシートを潰し、互いに対向する部分を2枚のシート20a、20bとして溶着することにより、シール部24を形成する。この溶着において、シート20は、加熱された後の冷却に伴って収縮する。この場合、シート20は、膨出部36の形状による収縮異方性によって歪みが発生し、これにより、液体収容部26におけるシート20a、20b同士の貼り付きにくさが発生する。その後、シート20のうち、シール部24の周囲の余分な部分を切断して容器本体12を得る。 The two sheets 20a and 20b are obtained by applying pressure and heating the two resin sheets 20 (material sheets) superimposed on each other with a mold having a pressing surface having a shape corresponding to the seal portion 24. The seal portions 24 are formed by welding them together. Or the sheet | seat formed in the cylinder shape by inflation molding is crushed, and the seal | sticker part 24 is formed by welding the part which mutually opposes as two sheets 20a and 20b. In this welding, the sheet 20 contracts with cooling after being heated. In this case, the sheet 20 is distorted due to the shrinkage anisotropy due to the shape of the bulging portion 36, thereby causing difficulty in sticking between the sheets 20 a and 20 b in the liquid storage portion 26. Then, the excess part around the seal | sticker part 24 is cut | disconnected in the sheet | seat 20, and the container main body 12 is obtained.
 次に、接着、溶着等の適宜の接合方法によって、容器本体12に口部14を取り付ける。口部14を上方に向けた状態で、口部14を介して容器本体12内に所定量の液体21を充填する。容器本体12内への液体21の充填量は、充填後の容器本体12内に空気が残存するような量である。 Next, the mouth 14 is attached to the container body 12 by an appropriate joining method such as adhesion or welding. A predetermined amount of liquid 21 is filled into the container body 12 through the mouth portion 14 with the mouth portion 14 facing upward. The filling amount of the liquid 21 into the container body 12 is such that air remains in the container body 12 after filling.
 この場合、容器本体12ではシート20a、20b同士の貼り付きにくさが液体21の充填前の時点で発生しているため、液体収容部26のシート20a、20b同士が貼り付いた状態で液体21が充填されることがない。従って、設計通りの有効内容積を利用でき、シート20a、20b同士の貼り付きによって残空量が低下してしまうことが防止される。 In this case, in the container body 12, it is difficult for the sheets 20 a and 20 b to stick to each other before the liquid 21 is filled, so that the liquid 21 is in a state where the sheets 20 a and 20 b of the liquid storage unit 26 are stuck to each other. Will not be filled. Therefore, the effective internal volume as designed can be used, and the remaining amount of space can be prevented from being reduced due to sticking between the sheets 20a and 20b.
 次に、口部14に栓体16を装着して、口部14を封止する。その後、口部14の端部にフィルム18を熱溶着により貼り付ける。これにより、加熱滅菌処理前の医療用容器10が得られる。 Next, the plug 16 is attached to the mouth 14 to seal the mouth 14. Then, the film 18 is affixed on the edge part of the opening | mouth part 14 by heat welding. Thereby, the medical container 10 before heat sterilization processing is obtained.
 次に、医療用容器10に対して加熱滅菌処理を施す。加熱滅菌処理としては、例えば、121℃、20分間のオートクレーブ滅菌が挙げられる。ここでの加熱滅菌処理において、容器本体12を構成するシート20は、加熱後の冷却時に収縮する。この場合、膨出部36の形状に沿って、収縮異方性によるシート20の歪みが発生する。よって、このときのシート20の歪みによっても、シート20a、20b同士の貼り付きにくさが発生する。しかも、加熱滅菌処理による加熱、冷却を経ることにより、医療用容器10を構成するシート20の柔軟性が低下する(剛性が増す)ため、歪みが生じた状態のシート20の形状維持力が増し、シート20a、20b同士の貼り付きにくさが一層発揮されやすくなる。 Next, heat sterilization treatment is performed on the medical container 10. Examples of the heat sterilization treatment include autoclave sterilization at 121 ° C. for 20 minutes. In the heat sterilization process here, the sheet 20 constituting the container body 12 contracts upon cooling after heating. In this case, distortion of the sheet 20 due to shrinkage anisotropy occurs along the shape of the bulging portion 36. Therefore, even if the sheet 20 is distorted at this time, it is difficult for the sheets 20a and 20b to stick to each other. In addition, since the flexibility of the sheet 20 constituting the medical container 10 is reduced (the rigidity is increased) through the heating and cooling by the heat sterilization process, the shape maintaining force of the sheet 20 in a distorted state is increased. Further, the difficulty of sticking between the sheets 20a and 20b is more easily exhibited.
 本実施形態に係る医療用容器10は、基本的には以上のように構成されるものであり、以下、その作用及び効果について説明する。 The medical container 10 according to the present embodiment is basically configured as described above, and the operation and effect thereof will be described below.
 医療用容器10の使用においては、図3のように、輸液ライン50の端部(輸液チューブ52の端部)に設けられた瓶針54を栓体16に刺して貫通させ、ハンガー等に設けられたフック部48に穴28の箇所で医療用容器10を引っ掛けることで、口部14を下方に向けた状態で医療用容器10を吊り下げる。瓶針54が栓体16を貫通すると、輸液ライン50の内腔と容器本体12の液体収容部26内(液室13)とが連通する。液体21は、医療用容器10から排出され、輸液ライン50を介して患者に供給される。 In use of the medical container 10, as shown in FIG. 3, the bottle needle 54 provided at the end of the infusion line 50 (end of the infusion tube 52) is pierced through the plug body 16 and provided on the hanger or the like. By hooking the medical container 10 on the hook portion 48 at the position of the hole 28, the medical container 10 is suspended with the mouth portion 14 facing downward. When the bottle needle 54 penetrates the plug body 16, the lumen of the infusion line 50 communicates with the inside of the liquid storage portion 26 (liquid chamber 13) of the container body 12. The liquid 21 is discharged from the medical container 10 and supplied to the patient via the infusion line 50.
 排液中、医療用容器10の残液量は、透明性を有する容器本体12を通して見える液体21の液面Lv1と、容器本体12に設けられた目盛部40との位置関係から把握することができる。医療用容器10の場合、容器本体12の液体収容部26では、サイドシール部34の膨出部36(液体収容部26の括れ)の効果によって、液面付近でのシート20a、20b同士の貼り付きが抑制されているため、液体21の液面Lv1は、液体収容部26の幅方向にわたって水平(直線状)である。このため、液面Lv1と目盛部40との位置関係が分かりやすく、残液量の把握が容易である。 During drainage, the amount of liquid remaining in the medical container 10 can be grasped from the positional relationship between the liquid level Lv1 of the liquid 21 seen through the transparent container body 12 and the scale portion 40 provided on the container body 12. it can. In the case of the medical container 10, in the liquid storage part 26 of the container body 12, the sheets 20 a and 20 b near the liquid surface are attached to each other due to the effect of the bulging part 36 (constriction of the liquid storage part 26) of the side seal part 34. Since the sticking is suppressed, the liquid level Lv1 of the liquid 21 is horizontal (straight) over the width direction of the liquid container 26. For this reason, it is easy to understand the positional relationship between the liquid level Lv1 and the scale portion 40, and it is easy to grasp the remaining liquid amount.
 これに対し、仮に、サイドシール部34に膨出部36が設けられない構成の場合、製造工程におけるシール処理時(シート20a、20b同士の溶着時)に、収縮異方性によるシート20の歪みが発生しない。このため、製造工程における容器本体12への液体21の充填前に、例えば、図2において仮想線で示すように、サイドシール部34の近傍でシート20a、20b同士の貼り付き箇所S1が発生しやすい。このような貼り付き箇所S1が発生すると、容器本体12の有効内容積が減少する分、液体21の充填後の容器本体12内の残空量が減少するため、排液時にシート20a、20b同士の貼り付きが発生しやすい。 On the other hand, if the side seal portion 34 is not provided with the bulging portion 36, the sheet 20 is distorted by shrinkage anisotropy during the sealing process in the manufacturing process (when the sheets 20a and 20b are welded together). Does not occur. For this reason, before filling the container body 12 with the liquid 21 in the manufacturing process, for example, as shown by the phantom line in FIG. 2, a sticking portion S1 between the sheets 20a and 20b is generated in the vicinity of the side seal portion 34. Cheap. When such a sticking portion S1 occurs, the amount of remaining space in the container body 12 after filling the liquid 21 is reduced by the amount that the effective internal volume of the container body 12 is reduced. Is likely to stick.
 また、サイドシール部34に膨出部36が設けられない構成の場合、製造工程における加熱滅菌処理時に、収縮異方性によるシート20の歪みが発生しない。このため、例えば、図3において仮想線で示すように、排液時に液面付近でのシート20a、20b同士の貼り付き箇所S2が発生しやすい。このような貼り付き箇所S2が排液時に発生すると、湾曲した液面Lv2が現れる。湾曲した液面Lv2の場合、目盛部40との位置関係が分かりにくいため、残液量を把握しにくい。 In the case where the bulging portion 36 is not provided in the side seal portion 34, the sheet 20 is not distorted due to the shrinkage anisotropy during the heat sterilization process in the manufacturing process. For this reason, for example, as shown by an imaginary line in FIG. 3, a sticking portion S <b> 2 between the sheets 20 a and 20 b near the liquid surface is likely to occur during drainage. When such a sticking portion S2 occurs during drainage, a curved liquid level Lv2 appears. In the case of the curved liquid level Lv2, it is difficult to understand the positional relationship with the scale portion 40, so it is difficult to grasp the remaining liquid amount.
 本発明の効果を確認するため、以下のように、本発明(実施例)と比較例について、各種の試験を実施した。各試験に使用した本発明及び比較例において、容器本体(シート)の構成材料はポリプロピレン、シート厚は250μm、シートの溶着条件は、溶着温度215℃、溶着時間2秒、圧力0.3MPa、内容液は106mL(市水)とした。本発明では、サイドシール部に膨出部が設けられ、膨出部の高さ(図2における高さB)は2mm、液体収容部の内寸は、ストレート部の箇所で92mm、膨出部の箇所で88mmとした。一方、比較例では、膨出部はなく、液体収容部の内寸は92mmとした。 In order to confirm the effect of the present invention, various tests were performed on the present invention (Examples) and comparative examples as follows. In the present invention and comparative examples used for each test, the constituent material of the container body (sheet) is polypropylene, the sheet thickness is 250 μm, the welding conditions of the sheet are welding temperature 215 ° C., welding time 2 seconds, pressure 0.3 MPa, contents The liquid was 106 mL (city water). In the present invention, the side seal portion is provided with a bulge portion, the height of the bulge portion (height B in FIG. 2) is 2 mm, the internal size of the liquid storage portion is 92 mm at the location of the straight portion, It was set to 88 mm at the location. On the other hand, in the comparative example, there was no bulging part, and the internal dimension of the liquid storage part was 92 mm.
 図4Aは本発明の実施例について、図4Bは比較例について、それぞれ、容器本体への液体の充填後(加熱滅菌処理前)における残空量の発生状況に関する試験結果を示すグラフである。 FIG. 4A is a graph showing the test results regarding the state of generation of the remaining amount after filling the container main body (before heat sterilization treatment), and FIG.
 図4Bのように、サイドシール部に膨出部(液体収容部の括れ)がない比較例の場合、残空量にばらつきがあり、特に、シート同士が貼り付きやすい少残空量(15mL未満)の検体が見られた。また、比較例では、残空量15~20mLが最も多い分布となっていた。 As shown in FIG. 4B, in the case of the comparative example in which the side seal part does not have a bulging part (constriction of the liquid storage part), there is a variation in the remaining amount, and in particular, a small remaining amount (less than 15 mL) where the sheets easily stick together. ) Specimens were seen. In the comparative example, the remaining empty volume of 15 to 20 mL had the largest distribution.
 これに対し、図4Aのように、サイドシール部に膨出部(液体収容部の括れ)を有する本発明の実施例の場合、残空量にばらつきが少なく、特に、シート同士が貼り付きやすい少残空量(15mL未満)の検体は発生しなかった。また、本発明の実施例では、残空量20~25mLが最も多い分布となり、比較例と比べて、高めの分布にシフトしていた。このことから、本発明によれば、少残空量の発生を抑制する効果が期待できることが分かった。 On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4A, in the case of the embodiment of the present invention in which the side seal portion has the bulging portion (constriction of the liquid storage portion), there is little variation in the remaining amount, and in particular, the sheets are likely to stick to each other. A sample with a small residual volume (less than 15 mL) was not generated. Further, in the examples of the present invention, the distribution with the largest remaining amount of 20 to 25 mL was the largest distribution, which was shifted to a higher distribution compared to the comparative example. From this, it was found that according to the present invention, an effect of suppressing the generation of a small remaining amount of air can be expected.

 表2のように、サイドシール部に膨出部(液体収容部の括れ)がない比較例では、残空量が25mL以上の検体のみ、排液終了までに液面付近でのシート同士の貼り付きが発生しなかった。すなわち、比較例では、液面付近でのシート同士の貼り付きが発生しない最低必要残空量は25mL以上であった。 As shown in Table 2, in the comparative example in which the side seal part does not have a bulging part (constriction of the liquid storage part), only the specimen having a remaining amount of 25 mL or more is pasted between the sheets near the liquid level before the end of drainage. No stickiness occurred. That is, in the comparative example, the minimum required remaining amount that does not cause sticking between sheets near the liquid surface was 25 mL or more.
 これに対し、表1のように、サイドシール部に膨出部(液体収容部の括れ)を有する本発明の実施例では、残空量が16mL以上の検体が排液終了まで液面付近でのシート同士の貼り付きが発生しなかった。すなわち、本試験の条件下では、液面付近でのシート同士の貼り付きが発生しない最低必要残空量は、本発明では16mL以上であったのに対し、比較例では25mL以上であった。このことから、本発明は、比較例と比べて、残空量を必要以上に増やさなくても液面付近でのシート同士の貼り付きが抑制される効果があることが理解される。 On the other hand, as shown in Table 1, in the example of the present invention in which the side seal portion has the bulging portion (constriction of the liquid storage portion), the specimen having a remaining amount of 16 mL or more is near the liquid surface until the end of drainage. There was no sticking between the sheets. That is, under the conditions of this test, the minimum required remaining amount that does not cause sticking between sheets near the liquid level was 16 mL or more in the present invention, whereas it was 25 mL or more in the comparative example. From this, it is understood that the present invention has an effect of suppressing the sticking between the sheets near the liquid level without increasing the remaining amount more than necessary as compared with the comparative example.
 以上説明したように、本実施形態に係る医療用容器10によれば、サイドシール部34に膨出部36が設けられることによって、容器本体12の液体収容部26の両側部分が括れた形状となっている。このため、製造工程におけるシール処理後(溶着後)の冷却時の収縮異方性によって、シート20に歪みが発生し、シート20a、20b同士の貼り付きにくさが発生する。これにより、製造工程における容器本体12への液体21の充填時にシート20a、20b同士の貼り付きが抑制され、この結果、適正な残空量が確保される。また、製造工程における加熱滅菌処理後の冷却時の収縮異方性によって、シート20に歪みがさらに発生し、シート20a、20b同士の貼り付きにくさが増強される。従って、排液時(使用時)に液面付近でのシート20a、20b同士が貼り付くことが抑制され、液面視認性が確保されるため、残液量を容易に把握することができる。容器本体12内に収容された液体21の量が200mL以下の場合、2枚のシート20a,20b同士の距離が近いため、膨出部36を設けることが特に効果的である。 As described above, according to the medical container 10 according to the present embodiment, the side seal portion 34 is provided with the bulging portion 36 so that both side portions of the liquid storage portion 26 of the container body 12 are constricted. It has become. For this reason, the sheet 20 is distorted due to shrinkage anisotropy during cooling after the sealing process (after welding) in the manufacturing process, and the sheets 20a and 20b are difficult to stick to each other. Thereby, sticking of the sheets 20a and 20b to each other is suppressed when the container 21 is filled with the liquid 21 in the manufacturing process, and as a result, an appropriate remaining amount is secured. Further, due to the shrinkage anisotropy during cooling after the heat sterilization treatment in the manufacturing process, the sheet 20 is further distorted, and the difficulty of sticking between the sheets 20a and 20b is enhanced. Accordingly, the sheets 20a and 20b in the vicinity of the liquid level are prevented from sticking to each other at the time of draining (in use), and the liquid level visibility is ensured, so that the remaining liquid amount can be easily grasped. When the amount of the liquid 21 accommodated in the container main body 12 is 200 mL or less, since the distance between the two sheets 20a and 20b is short, it is particularly effective to provide the bulging portion 36.
 本実施形態の場合、膨出部36は、サイドシール部34の延在方向の略中央部に設けられるため、収縮異方性によるシート20の歪みがサイドシール部34の延在方向のほぼ全体で得られ、排液時の液面付近でのシート20a、20b同士の貼り付きを一層好適に抑制することができる。 In the case of the present embodiment, the bulging portion 36 is provided at a substantially central portion in the extending direction of the side seal portion 34, so that the distortion of the sheet 20 due to shrinkage anisotropy is substantially the entire extending direction of the side seal portion 34. And the sticking between the sheets 20a and 20b in the vicinity of the liquid level at the time of drainage can be more suitably suppressed.
 本実施形態の場合、サイドシール部34のうち、膨出部36と第1シール部31との間の部分、及び膨出部36と第2シール部32との間の部分の各内側輪郭形状は、直線状であるため、膨出部36を設けることによる残空量の減少を可及的に少なくすることができる。 In the case of this embodiment, each inner contour shape of the portion between the bulging portion 36 and the first seal portion 31 and the portion between the bulging portion 36 and the second seal portion 32 in the side seal portion 34. Is linear, it is possible to reduce the reduction in the remaining amount of air due to the provision of the bulging portion 36 as much as possible.
 本実施形態の場合、膨出部36の内側輪郭形状は、弧状に形成される。この構成により、容器本体12が外側から圧迫されることで内圧が上昇した場合であっても、膨出部36の頂点に応力が集中しすぎることがなく、破袋を防止することができる。 In the case of this embodiment, the inner contour shape of the bulging portion 36 is formed in an arc shape. With this configuration, even when the container body 12 is compressed from the outside and the internal pressure increases, stress does not concentrate on the apex of the bulging portion 36, and bag breakage can be prevented.
 本実施形態の場合、サイドシール部34のうち、膨出部36が形成された部分のシール幅W1は、他の部分(ストレート部38)のシール幅W2よりも大きいため、製造工程におけるシール処理時(溶着時)又は加熱滅菌処理時において、加熱後の冷却時の収縮異方性によるシート20の歪みが効果的に得られる。 In the case of the present embodiment, the seal width W1 of the portion where the bulging portion 36 is formed in the side seal portion 34 is larger than the seal width W2 of the other portion (straight portion 38), and therefore the sealing process in the manufacturing process. At the time (during welding) or heat sterilization treatment, distortion of the sheet 20 due to shrinkage anisotropy during cooling after heating is effectively obtained.
 本実施形態の場合、膨出部36の外側輪郭形状は、直線状であるため、製造工程におけるシール処理時(溶着時)又は加熱滅菌処理時において、加熱後の冷却時の収縮異方性によるシート20の歪みが効果的に得られる。 In the case of this embodiment, since the outer contour shape of the bulging portion 36 is linear, it depends on the shrinkage anisotropy at the time of cooling after heating during the sealing process (at the time of welding) or the heat sterilization process in the manufacturing process. The distortion of the sheet 20 can be obtained effectively.
 上記において、本発明について好適な実施形態を挙げて説明したが、本発明は前記実施形態に限定されるものではなく、本発明の要旨を逸脱しない範囲において、種々の改変が可能なことは言うまでもない。 In the above description, the present invention has been described with reference to preferred embodiments. However, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. Yes.
