The flexible container 10 is provided for storage and intermixing of diluents and medicaments. The container contains multiple compartments in which diluents and medication are stored and separated by detachable seals 24 and 26. The container consists of a thermoplastic material having high oxygen and moisture barrier properties that allows the container to be stored for extended periods of time without content degradation. The seals are ruptured by manipulating the container to mix the contents delivered to the patient via a standard intravenous (IV) array. The seal is configured to provide nonlinear resistance to water pressure that separates the seal so that it is fully open along its length. The container also includes a locking tab 28 and a retaining slot 27 for securing the bag in the folded state. |
