A bag for containing one or more items to be heated in a microwave oven. The bag has a front panel and a back panel and has a seal across the containment region to split it into two compartments each containing at least one item such as a food ingredient. When the bag is heated, the compartments expand due to gas expansion and the seal is caused to break to allow the items to mix and be heated together.

The present invention relates to a package. More particularly but not exclusively it relates to package that is rupturable so as to create an opening in the package, yet the package is resistant to rupture from undue forces from particular directions due to a convex shaped burst region that requires straightening to burst.

A receptacle for detecting a targeted pathogen is provided. The receptacle includes a main body configured to accommodate reagent containing ampoules and a specimen collector, a reservoir provided at a distal end side of the main body, and a support extending through the main body in an extending direction of the receptacle. The support includes an inlet that permits passage of the specimen collector into the main body and an outlet that restrictively permits passage of the specimen collector into and out of the reservoir.

A flexible pouch for two-component products includes a front panel, a back panel and a pair of side seals. An upper compartment is formed between the front panel, the back panel, one of the pair of side seals, an intermediate side seal and a bottom frangible seal. A lower compartment is formed beneath the upper compartment between the front panel and the back panel. A vertical passage extends between the intermediate side seal and another of the pair of side seals from the lower compartment to an opening. Rupture of the bottom frangible seal provides a fluid passageway from the upper compartment to the lower compartment.

A casting tape package system is provided comprising an outer package defining a first interior portion enclosing a casting tape substrate including curable casting formulation and a second interior portion enclosing a curing agent. In certain embodiments, the curing agent is separated from the casting tape substrate by a barrier which is breakable to release the curing agent to activate the curable casting formulation.

A multi-chamber film bag for an inorganic multi-component foam system has at least two chambers which are partitioned off from each other in a liquid-tight manner. One of the chambers is filled with an inorganic component in powder form, on the basis of either gypsum or cement mortar, and another chamber is filled with a foaming component in powder form which can react with the component. A partition element separates the chambers from each other in a liquid-tight manner in a first state and can provide a flow connection between the chambers in a second state. At least one of the chambers has an opening section which can be opened to discharge the foam system, wherein the chamber having the opening section has a predefined residual volume for receiving a liquid.

A packaging material web stock is provided. The packaging material web stock can include first and second plies overlaid and sealed to each other at a plurality of seals that include a plurality of transverse seals extending transversely across the plies, wherein a plurality of interior cavities are defined between the plies and the transverse seals, the first and second plies arranged in a web that includes a plurality of packaging units arranged longitudinally in a series along the web, wherein the first and second plies form walls of the packaging units, and at least some of the packaging units include at least one of the interior cavities, and an expansion material disposed in the interior cavities in an unexpanded configuration, wherein the expansion material is arranged within the inner cavities such that, when expanded to the expanded configuration, the expansion material is configured to provide cushioning in the walls.

The present invention relates to a blister pack that comprises a base laminate with a sealing layer and a lid laminate with a sealing layer, the base laminate having at least one cavity housing a product. The base laminate and the lid laminate are directly sealed to each other via their identical sealing layers whereby the seal comprises two different sealing subzones, a first sealing subzone providing a permanent seal and a second sealing subzone providing a peelable seal.

A dispenser (10) for dispensing a flowable material M has a container (12) having an outer wall (20) and membrane (14) collectively defining a first chamber (22) configured to contain the flowable material M. The membrane (14) has a thickness and a weld seam (40) wherein the weld seam (40) has a thickness less than the thickness of the membrane (14). A fracturing mechanism (16) is operably connected to the container (12). The fracturing mechanism (16) has an extending member (64) projecting from the outer wall (20) of the container (12). The extending member (64) has a projection (66) positioned proximate the membrane (14), wherein in response to deflection of the extending member (64), the projection (66) deflects the outer wall (20) proximate the membrane (14) wherein the weld seam (40) fractures creating an opening (41) through the membrane (14) configured to allow the flowable material M to pass therethrough and from the dispenser (10).

A method of preparing a pharmaceutical product in a single multiple chamber flexible bag. A pharmaceutical product is introduced in a liquid state into a first chamber of the flexible bag through a first port. The pharmaceutical product is lyophilized within the first chamber of the flexible bag to provide a lyophilized pharmaceutical product. The flexible bag has a second chamber and the first chamber and the second chamber are separated by a breakable seal. The second chamber further includes a reconstituting solution for reconstituting the lyophilized pharmaceutical product in the first chamber. A user may apply pressure to the flexible bag to break the seal and mix the lyophilized pharmaceutical product and the reconstituting solution to order to administer the pharmaceutical product to a patient.
