A blood bag (1) for use when separating blood into its respective components. The blood bag is provided with at least two connections (7, 8) from which hoses or pipes extend to side containers, for the sterile transfer of separated components from the bag to the side containers. Subsequent to centrifuging the blood so as to divide the blood into separate components, the component located highest in the bag, i.e. the plasma, is transferred to one side container and the component located in the lower part of the bag, i.e. the red blood cells, is transferred to the other side container, whereas an intermediate fraction, the buffycoat fraction, remains in the bag. The blood bag is characterized in that the connections are disposed in one edge of the bag; in that the first connection (7) is directly connected to the blood bag, or is an openable connection, and in that the second connection (8) is in direct connection with the interior of the bag, or is an openable connection, and terminates at a given distance from said edge. The connection (8) may include a conduit (10, 19) which extends into the blood bag, or alternatively an axially moveable hollow rod (12) which can be pushed into the bag. |
