Abstract

The invention relates to a medicament container, comprising a bag with an outlet, the bag compressible by a compression means, the bag arranged to be essentially inflexible and arranged for turning flexible in an area subjected to a compression means. The invention further relates to an injection arrangement for delivering a liquid medicament comprising the medicament container.

Claims

1. Medicament container comprising a bag with an outlet, the bag compressible by a compression means, characterized in that the bag is arranged to be essentially inflexible and arranged for turning flexible in an area subjected to a compression means.

2. Medicament container according to claim 1, characterized in that the bag is arranged to return inflexible in areas that have already been subjected to the compression means.

3. Medicament container according to claim 2, characterized in that the bag comprises a thermally sensitive skin or skin layer, which is arranged for turning flexible upon subjection to a heated compression means and for being essentially inflexible when not heated or cooled down after heating.

4. Medicament container according to claim 1, characterized in that the bag comprises a skin or skin layer, that may be locally softened or turned flexible by subjection to at least one of a chemical agent, a radiation, a magnetic field, an electrical field, an electrical current, a heated compression means and a mechanical influence.

5. Medicament container according to claim 3, characterized in that the skin layer is an outer layer.

6. Medicament container according to claim 1, characterized in that the bag comprises a skin with at least one flexible layer and a stiff outer skin layer, which is removable when subjected to the compression means.

7. Medicament container according to claim 4, characterized in that the skin layer comprises one of sugar, salt and wax.

8. Medicament container according to claim 4, characterized in that the skin or skin layer comprises silver or a UV sensitive polymer, wherein the skin or skin layer is arranged for being turned flexible or wherein the skin layer is arranged for being removed or dissolved by subjection to radiation with visible light or ultraviolet light.

9. Medicament container according to claim 1, characterized in that the bag is arranged on an essentially planar, rigid support and a roller serving as the compression means is arranged for locally pressing the bag against the support and advancing in a longitudinal direction of the bag.

10. Injection arrangement for delivering a liquid medicament comprising a medicament container according to one of the claims 1 to 9.

11. Injection arrangement according to claim 10, characterized in that a valve and a hollow needle for piercing a patient'"'"'s skin are arranged at the outlet.

12. Inhaler arrangement for delivering a liquid medicament comprising a medicament container according to claim 1.
