Isolator for work in an aseptic environment

摘要

An isolator (10) formed to facilitate the entry and exit of products into and out of the isolator, the wall (12) of which includes an upper part (16) and a lower part (18) capable of being disconnected completely along one section of the isolator. The upper part (16) includes a flexible wall (24) forming a skirt, the lower edge of which emcompasses the upper edge of the lower part (18). A sealed connection of the two parts is obtained by inflating an inflatable seal (36) mounted in a recess (34) formed in a rigid portion of the lower part (18). The seal (36) then comes into sealing contact with an unstretchable belt (26) affixed to the lower end of the flexible wall (24).
