Abstract

A compartmented and collapsible container for sterile components which has at least one separate compartment for each component, yet will permit the intermixing of the components upon the breaking of a frangible member which separates the compartments. The compartmented container is specifically constructed for use with two solutions which are normally incompatible when mixed. The container herein described permits the two incompatible solutions to be sterilized in a disposable, flexible container. At the time of usage, the two materials can be readily intermixed in the same container and administered therefrom, such as with the usual intravenous administration equipment. An important feature of the container is a frangible member which is sealed to the container in a unique manner between the compartments, yet is readily fractured to permit the free flow of materials between the compartments.
