Pressure tolerant parenteral fluid and blood container for a warming cassette

摘要

A fluid container for use in a warming cassette of a fluid warming system includes two multilayered sheets joined to form a fluid path therebetween. Each sheet of the fluid container includes an outside structural layer and an inside bonding layer. The structural layers have a low coefficient of friction, so that the cassette easily slides into a warming unit. The structural layers are thin enough to transfer heat efficiently, yet strong enough to impart structural integrity to the fluid container. The inside layers have thermo-sealable properties to permit the formation of the fluid channel by heat sealing at relatively low temperatures.
