A flexible bag (1; 101; 201) comprising a component (3; 103; 203) inside the bag, wherein said flexible bag comprises a receiving device (5; 105; 205) provided in a wall (7; 107; 207) of the flexible bag, wherein said component (3; 103; 203) and said receiving device (5; 105; 205) are configured for being connectable to each other for keeping the component substantially stationary within the flexible bag when so connected.

A urine collection and drainage device and system adapted to facilitate drainage for patients to that prefer to stay standing during drainage and avoid removal of clothing near the collection bag. A collection vessel is designed to be secured to a user's waist and leg and allows for quick drainage with low initial compression. Drainage can also be accomplished for handicapped patients that have challenges getting out of bed or a wheelchair.

A method of preparing a collapsible bag includes providing the bag in a collapsed configuration and filling it. The bag has a spout connected to a flexible mounting. A portion of the mounting is flat within the bag in the same plane as the spout and can form an angle between 0 and 180 degrees with the spout's plane. The mounting includes a peripheral ring in the spout having flexible legs. The legs permit the evacuation members to be displaced relative to the ring to accommodate a service line connector. The evacuation members can be helical channels, are integral with the mounting, and are as flat as possible within the bag upon manufacture. Each member is adjustable to alternative positions where it is oriented radially, perpendicularly, or at an angle between relative to the plane of the ring, without the flexing of the flexible legs or the evacuation members.

Devices for preparing a liquid solution are disclosed. The device includes a receptacle defining a cavity for receiving at least one active substance to be dissolved, at least one inlet leading into the cavity for feeding at least one solvent into the cavity, and at least one outlet leading out of the cavity for discharging the liquid solution including the at least one active substance and the at least one solvent from the cavity. The cavity or the receptacle may include a flexible outer shell for enclosing the cavity and an inner, preferably columnar, supporting element for stretching the flexible outer shell between at least two points, the supporting element comprising the at least one inlet at its first end and the at least one outlet at its second end and being enclosed by the flexible outer shell to provide an axially rigid cartridge that can be used in currently customary dialysis machines comprising cartridge connection systems, which can be produced at low cost.

The present invention relates to a mounting for connecting at least one peripherally-connected evacuation channel to the spout of a flexible bag and more particularly to a flexible mounting for connecting such at least one evacuation channel.
