Abstract
The present invention provides a large volume flexible container capable of containing a fluid to be maintained under sterile conditions. The container comprises an inner liner constructed from a polyolefin that defines an interior of the container and an outer liner constructed from a three-layer laminate. The laminate includes an inner layer constructed from a polyolefin that will, upon the application of sufficient energy, bond to the polyolefin of the inner liner, a middle layer constructed from a barrier material, and an outer layer; the inner liner and outer liner being sealed together along edges of the container. At least one tube member, for accessing the container, extends from a face of the container, and includes an end that is secured to the container, a length of flexible tubing for defining a channel through which fluid can flow, and a connector at a second end. A structure for housing the container is also provided.
