Abstract:
A multi-layer, flexible, gas-permeable film (10) suitable for forming a cell culture container (20), the film (10) comprising a first layer (12) composed of a polystyrene having a thickness within the range of 0.0001 inch to about 0.0010 inch and, a second layer (14) adhered to the first layer (12) composed of a polymer material having a thickness within the range of 0.004 inch to about 0.025 inch.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a non-PVC, non-DEHP material that can be used for medical grade tubing. Additionally, the present invention provides medical grade tubing made from such a material. To this end, the present invention provides a medical grade tubing (14 and 20), comprising a multilayer coextruded structure including: a layer comprising a blend of polyurethane and polyester; and a layer comprising a blend chosen from the group consiting of: polypropylene, ethylenevinyl acetate, and polyurethane; polypropylene and styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene; polypropylene, styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene, and ethylenevinyl acetate; polypropylene, ethylenevinyl acetate, styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene, and thermoplastic polyester elastomer; polypropylene, ethylenevinyl acetate, styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene, thermoplastic polyester elastomer, and polyurethane; polyester, thermoplastic polyester elastomer, and polyurethane; polyester and polyurethane; and polypropylene, styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene, and polyurethane.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a multiple-layer structure for fabricating medical products. The multiple-layered structure has a first layer of a polyester; a second layer attached to the first layer, the second layer of an ethylene and α-olefin copolymer; and wherein the structure has a modulus of elasticity of less than about 60,000 psi.
Abstract:
A non-PVC, non-DEHP material is provided for medical grade products such as tubing and containers. The material comprises a monolayer blend of a polyurethane based material. In an embodiment, the resultant product of the present invention has good low temperature characteristics, is autoclavable, and RF sealable. Accordingly, the resultant product can be utilized for applications which heretofore have been filled in the marketplace by DEHP plasticized PVC products.

Abstract:
A container (10) is disclosed comprising a first sidewall (12) having a first layer (104) and a second layer (102). The second layer (102) overlaps a portion of the first layer (104) to define an overlap area (106). A sealing flange (108) extends from the first layer (104) outward of the overlap area (106). A second sidewall (14) is connected to the first sidewall (12) along the sealing flange (108) to define an inner chamber (23) therebetween. The second sidewall (14) and the sealing flange (108) define a first layered structure (120) having a first number of layers along the sealing flange (108). The overlap area (106) and the second sidewall (14) define a second layered structure (122) having a second number of layers. The second number of layers is greater than the first number of layers. The container (10) is sealed by positioning peripheral edges of the first and second sidewalls (12, 14) into registration so that the overlap area (106) is substantially centrally disposed over the second sidewall (14) and applying sealing energy to the first number of layers to define a peripheral seam. Another container (200) suitable for medical uses comprises a first planar member (218), a second planar member (222), a first seam (224) and a second seam (226). The first planar member (218) is of a multi-layered polymeric material and further comprises a first substrate (238) and a first layer (246). The first layer (246) is disposed on a portion of the first substrate (238) to separately define a first overlap area (258) and an adjacent first peripheral flange (262). The second planar member (222) is of a multi-layered polymeric material. The first seam (224) attaches a portion of the first overlap area (258) to the second planar member (222). The second seam (226) is spaced from the first seam (224) and attaches a portion of the first peripheral flange (262) to the second planar member (222).
