Abstract
A pressure container for applying pressure to a flexible bag received in it and filled with a medical fluid, in order to deliver the fluid from the flexible bag, has a housing that has an opening for introduction of the bag. Also provided are a cover for covering the opening, an aperture for leading a fluid discharge line of the bag out of the pressure container, and a closure for sealed joining of the cover and housing. In the interest of simpler design and easier handling, it is proposed that the housing be configured as an upright hollow-cylindrical body, closed at the bottom and open at the top, the cross section of which has a flattened oval shape and corresponds roughly to the cross-sectional contour of a bag; and that the two opposing large-area upright sidewalls each have, in mirror-image fashion, the shape of a segment of a cylindrical shell whose lateral ends are joined by joining segments.
