<p>The present invention provides a bag container (1) suitable for use in dispensing liquid e.g. for intravenous administration, at a controlled rate. The bag comprises a first compartment (2) for holding a main body of liquid (6) to be dispensed, and a second compartment (4) for holding a small portion of the liquid (6) and disposed substantially below the first compartment (2). The first compartment (2) is connected to the second compartment (4) by a syphon conduit (8), and the second compartment (4) is provided with an outlet (18). The second compartment (4) is formed and arranged so that syphoning can be maintained in use of the bag (1) in a dispensing attitude thereof, whereby a substantially constant head of liquid (6) is maintained in the second compartment (4) during dispensing of most of said liquid (6) held in said bag container (1).</p> |
