Abstract
Bag for storing blood components, preferably frozen red blood cells, including an inlet fitment having a neck provided with an enlarged portion on its outer diameter, composed of polyethylene. A novel connection is provided for linking this fitment to a polyvinyl chloride tube, whereby the blood storage bag may be interconnected with a variety of other blood storage or treatment devices. In the preferred form, the bag is combined with a glycerolizing set consisting of a first flexible resilient polyvinyl chloride tube adapted sealingly to mate with the inlet protrusion of the bag and to communicate with a 'Y' connector, which connector further communicates with a glycerin container and with a container of red blood cells. A novel polyvinyl chloride sleeve structure is provided for securing the polyvinyl chloride tubing firmly on the polyethylene fitment of the bag.
