Abstract

The invention relates to a medicament container (2), comprising a bag (3) with an outlet (4), the bag (3) compressible by a compression means (6), the bag (3) having an inner surface arranged to stick when subjected to the compression means (6). The invention also refers to an arrangement (1) for administering a liquid medicament (M) comprising the medicament container (2) and a compression means (6) for locally compressing the bag (3).

Claims

1. Arrangement for administering a liquid medicament comprising a medicament container with a bag, further comprising a compression means for locally compressing the bag, wherein the bag has an outlet and an inner surface, characterized in that the inner surface is arranged to stick when subjected to the compression means and thus kept from returning to its initial shape after having been subjected to the compression means.

2. Arrangement according to claim 1, characterized in that the inner surface is self-adhesive.

3. Arrangement according to claim 1, characterized in that the inner surface is arranged to be welded under pressure.

4. Arrangement according to claim 1, characterized in that the inner surface is arranged to be welded by heat or by subjection to ultrasonic energy.

5. Arrangement according to claim 1, characterized in that the bag is arranged on an essentially planar, rigid support.

6. Arrangement according to claim 1, characterized in that the bag is arranged between two opposing parts of the compression means.

7. Arrangement according to claim 5, characterized in that the compression means is arranged for locally pressing the bag against the support and advancing at least in a longitudinal direction of the bag.

8. Arrangement according to claim 1, characterized in that the compression means comprises at least one of a roller, a wiper, a shoe and a ram.

9. Arrangement according to claim 6, characterized in that the compression means comprises two rollers pressing against each other.

10. Arrangement according to claim 4, characterized in that the compression means is arranged to introduce heat into the bag.

11. Arrangement according to claim 4, characterized in that the compression means is arranged to introduce ultrasonic energy into the bag.

12. Arrangement according to claim 1, arranged to be an injection arrangement or an inhaler arrangement.

13. Arrangement according to claim 12, characterized in that a valve and a hollow needle for piercing a patient'"'"'s skin are arranged at the outlet.
