Definitions
- This invention relates generally to a port or dispensing tube for use with flexible containers and more specifically to a method for attaching such a tube to a medical grade or food grade container.
- beneficial agents are packaged in flexible containers such as IN. bags and are ultimately delivered through tubing such as an administration set to patients to achieve therapeutic effects.
- Port tubing is a necessary feature of the container and provides access to the contents of the container.
- IN. bags are most commonly fabricated from polymers such as polyvinyl chloride, ethylene vinyl acetate, or polyolefm alloys, such as those disclosed in commonly assigned U.S. Patent No. 5,686,527.
- the IN. containers usually have two confronting walls or panels that are attached to one another along a peripheral seam to make a fluid tight compartment.
- Panel ports are attached to the container on a panel and are often centrally disposed.
- the panel port extends perpendicularly from the face of the panel.
- Edge ports are attached between the two panels along a peripheral seam of the container and extend in the plane of the panels.
- Panel ports are easily installed but have a number of drawbacks.
- panel ports by design, necessitate the use of one or more injection molded parts. These injection molded parts are costly, especially at lower production volumes.
- Containers having panel ports also have the undesired tendency to retain a residual volume of fluid due to incomplete drainage.
- Edge ports have a different set of design issues. Edge ports are prone to a manufacturing defect known as "channel leak.” Channel leakage occurs along the port tube and results from an incomplete seal at the position where the planar surfaces of the two panels and the rounded surface of the port tube meet. Channel leakage is more likely to occur when the container is fabricated from a sheeting material that has a high modulus, and especially when using thin layers of such a stiff material, as the material will have a tendency to crease upon folding.
- injection molded parts are commonly used in containers constructed from biaxially oriented nylon, foil, TEFLON®, polyester, and multilayer structures containing these polymers or similar inelastic materials.
- the injection molded parts are inserted between the panels and, in most instances, have a tapered outer profile. The purpose of the taper is to provide fillet material to the area where channel leakage is likely to occur.
- these injection molded parts are relatively expensive, especially in low volume production.
- edge port tubes Another design issue with edge port tubes is that a mandrel must be used to install the edge port.
- the mandrel is inserted through an opening in the port tube, and into the fluid flow channel of the tubing.
- the tubing and mandrel are positioned between the sidewalls of the container.
- welding dies are used to compress the container sidewalls and tubing to seal the tubing between the sidewalls.
- the mandrel serves several purposes.
- the mandrel prevents the tubing interior wall from deforming.
- the mandrel, along with the external welding dies, are precisely dimensioned to achieve the desired compression forces against the mandrel.
- tubing material can stick to the mandrel making withdrawal of the mandrel difficult. Also, since the mandrel must be threaded through the port tube opening, the tubing segment must be of a relatively short length.
- the present invention provides a method for connecting rounded members, such as port tubes, between planar members, such as the sheet stock of flexible containers.
- the process provides for either sealing without the use of a mandrel or by using a mandrel that does not directly contact the interior walls of the tubing.
- the methods disclosed can be used to seal monolayer tubing or multilayered tubing.
- the present invention further provides a mandrel that delivers fluid under pressure to an interior surface of the tubing sidewalk
- the pressure is applied in a radial direction and has sufficient force to cause intimate contact between the external periphery of the tubing and the inner surfaces of the container sidewall during the sealing process.
- This method allows for sealing the tubing without collapsing the interior sidewall surfaces into contact with one another, and without having the mandrel contact the tubing sidewall in the seal area.
- the fluid is air, but the use of liquids is also contemplated.
- the present invention also provides a method of sealing tubing without the use of a mandrel.
- the wall thickness to ID ratio is inversely related to the modulus of the material so that as the modulus of the material increases the required wall thickness to ID may decrease.
- the method of the present invention provides an outer layer with a first hardness and an inner layer with a second hardness that is greater than the first hardness.
- the inner layer can, in effect, serve as a mandrel upon which the outer layer may be compressed by the dies causing material from the outer layer to flow into interstitial spaces between the container sidewalls and exterior walls of the tubing to provide fillet material to the weld.

- FIG. 1 shows a container assembly, such as a flexible container, generally designated by the reference numeral 10.
- the assembly 10 includes a flexible container 12 having port or dispensing tubes 14 sealed in a perimeter edge of the container 12.
- the container 12 includes a pair of facing planar members or sidewalls 16, which are joined at their perimeter edges 18 (FIGS. 1 and 3) to define a fluid compartment 23 therebetween.
- the planar members 16 can be constructed from a number of different materials including poly vinyl chloride, polyolefins, polyolefm copolymers, polyolefm alloys and blends, polyamides, polyesters and other materials as will be described in greater detail below.
- FIG. 2 shows a multilayered port tubing 14, including a first or outer layer 20 and a second or inner layer 22 and a fluid passageway 25.
- the outer layer is a thermoplastic polymer that has a tan delta measured in accordance with ASTM No. D 4065-95 from 0-0.08, more preferably from 0.02-0.075 and most preferably from 0.03-0.06 or any combination or subcombination of ranges therein.
- Suitable thermoplastic polymers include polyolefins having a tan delta as set forth above.
- the thermoplastic polymer is an ethylene «-olefin copolymer wherein the «-olefin comonomer has less than 12 carbons.
- the ethylene copolymer is an ultra-low density polyethylene (ULDPE) having a density of from about 0.880-0.910 g/cm 3 and most preferably are produced using a metallocene catalyst system.
- ULDPE ultra-low density polyethylene
- Such a catalyst is said to be a "single site” catalyst because it has a single sterically and electronically equivalent catalyst position as opposed to the Ziegler-Natta type catalyst which are known to have a mixture of catalyst sites.
- metallocene catalyzed ethylene ⁇ -olefins are sold by Dow under the tradename AFFINITY, and by Exxon under the tradename EXACT.
- the inner layer 22 has sufficient resistance to compression to act as a mandrel.
- the inner layer 22 of the tubing 14 should be composed of polyolefins, polyolefm copolymers, polyolefm alloys, polyamides, polyesters, and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and block copolymers, for example polyester-polyether block copolymers such as those sold under the trademark HYTREL®.
- the inner layer 22 is composed of polyvinyl chloride or a blend containing polyester-polyether block copolymers, which are capable of being bonded using solvent bonding techniques.
- Figure 2b shows a monolayer tubing of the present invention.
- the monolayer tubing may be of the same materials as set forth above for the outer layer 20 of the multilayered tubing.
- a material of Shore A hardness of 70 it is critical for the monolayer tubing to have a ratio of wall thickness to inner diameter dimension that is greater than 0.20 and more preferably greater than or equal to 0.25.
- Monolayer tubings of these types of materials having these critical dimensions allow for the inner portion of the tubing to remain in a solid phase and to act, in effect, as a mandrel while allowing the sealing portion of the tubing to flow upon applying heat and compression.
- the tubing 14 may be sealed to the planar members 16 using any energy source which causes melting of the sealing layers or sealing portion of a monolayer tubing to form a weld between the tubing 14 and the planar members 16.
- energy sources may be applied through, but not limited to, impulse welding equipment, constant temperature equipment, or by induction welding techniques such as radio frequency. Any of these sealing energies whether causing heating through induction or conduction shall be collectively referred to as sealing energies.
- Disposing of the use of a mandrel is significant for several reasons including that it adds flexibility to the manufacturing steps for connecting a fluid administration set 26 (FIG. 6) to a flexible container.
- a mandrel limits the length of a port or dispensing tube as the mandrel must be inserted through a distal end of the tubing 14 into the fluid passageway 25 and into an area where the tubing 14 is sealed to the planar members 16. It is not practical to insert a mandrel through a long length of tubing of an administration set 26.
- disposing of the need for a mandrel allows the tubing 14 to be of a standard length of a port-tube of 0.375-1.0 inches as shown in Figure 1, or extend from the container 12 to some distal site and serve as a fluid administration set 26 as shown in FIG. 6.

- the multilayered or monolayer tubing 14 is constructed by an extrusion process. Other manufacturing methods can also be used to produce a tube useful with the present invention although extrusion is preferred.

- the tie layer 24 should be as thin as practical and have a thickness from 0.0002 inches to 0.003 inches. If additional layers are used, it remains important that the hardness of the inner layer 22 is greater than the hardness of the outer layer 20. Although less critical, it is also important that the melt softening temperature range T2 of the inner layer 22 be higher than the melt softening temperature range Tl of the outer layer 20. Although it is possible to form a seal where Tl is greater than or equal to T2 so long as the method of welding heats the outer layer to temperature Tl without heating the inner layer to temperature T2. Although a circular-shaped tubing 14 is shown in FIG. 2, other tubing could be used having other cross-sectional shapes, including oval or polygonal cross-sections.
- the tubing 14 is compressed, without deflecting the inner layer 22 of the tubing 14 substantially out of round, using a die while applying sealing energies through the die. While the inner layer 22 is not deflected substantially out of round, the outer layer 20 of the tubing 14 is compressed.
- the sealing process may be carried out using flat dies with an elastomeric buffer or shaped welding dies. The dies are typical of those found in industry.
- FIG. 3 shows a pair of conventional flat, mating welding dies 32,34 used in the heat sealing process.
- Each die 32,34 has a compressible membrane 36,38 respectively that has a modulus of elasticity less than that of the tubing.

- the interface area 26, as indicated by the arrows, includes the area where the planar members 16 bond to the tubing 14.
- a portion 28 of each of the planar members 16 extends outward from the interface area 26. It is of course possible to apply sealing energies through a single die without departing from the spirit of the invention.

- the welding dies begin to close to compress the planar members 16 against the end portion 14a of the tubing 14.
- the flexible membranes 36,38 flex around the planar members 16 and the tubing 14.
- FIG. 5 show the welding dies 32,34 fully closed to apply pressure to the interface area 26.
- the welding dies 32,34 also apply sealing energies, such as heat, within to raise the outer layer to temperature Tl without heating the inner layer to temperature T2.
- the welding dies 32,34 fully close and compress the planar members 16 around the tubing 14. The outer layer 20 of the tubing 14 is compressed.
- the inner layer 22 is not deflected substantially out of round (FIG. 5).
- the outer layer 20 of the tube 14 begins to melt and outer portions of the outer layer 20 flow toward end members 40 of the tubing 14 to supply additional material or fillet material to the weld formed in the interface area 26. This improves the weld between the rounded members 40 and the perimeter edges 18 and further reduces the likelihood of channel leakage.
- the outer layer 20 of the tubing 14 and perimeter edges 18 of the planar members 16 soften and melt together at the interface area 26.
- the planar members 16 are welded around an entire periphery of the end portion 14a of the tubing 14. Compressive forces are continually applied until the dies 32,34 contact the portion 28 of the planar members, which linearly extend beyond the interface area 26, and are welded to each other as well (FIG. 5).
- the welding dies 32,34 are opened, thereby releasing the pressure to the interface area 26. Because the sealing energy is applied ⁇ c that the inner layer inner layer 22 does not reach temperature T2, the inner layer 22 does not melt. Regardless, because the inner layer 22 is not collapsed to a flattened position during the welding process, there is no chance of welding the inner 22 to itself. After the pressure is released, the tube 14 returns to a substantially rounded configuration to provide a pathway for the contents stored in the container. An improved weld is provided by compressing the tubing 14 between the planar members 16 at the time of sealing and melting a portion of the outer layer 20 of the tube 14.
- sealing energy is continually applied to the interface area 26 and pressure is applied to the compressed tubing 14
- the outer layer 20 of the tubing 14 continues to melt, allowing a portion of the outer layer 20 to flow and provide fillet material to the weld in the interface area 26.
- This further improves the seal between the outer layer 20 and the planar members 16 because material can flow to fill any voids or gaps present between the outer layer 20 and planar members 16. It should be understood that it is possible to apply sealing energy to a die prior to collapsing the tube 14 or afterward depending on the welding techniques being used.
- the same dies and process described above for sealing multilayered tubing may also be used to seal the monolayer tubing shown in Figure 2b.
- the dies supply heat to the tubing to melt soften the sealing portion 90 (Figure 7) of the tubing while the inner portion 92 remains in a relatively solid state.
- the melt softened sealing portion 90 flows along the relatively unsoftened inner portion 92 of the tubing to provide fillet material to the weld area.
- a J-shaped fluid supply line 100 (Figure 7) is employed in the sealing process ( Figure 8).
- the fluid supply line 100 functions as a mandrel, but without requiring an exterior surface 102 of the supply line 100 to directly contact the tubing sidewall in the interface area 26.
- the fluid supply line 100 which shall be referred to hereafter as mandrel 100, has a descending leg 104, a horizontal leg 106, an ascending leg 108, a fluid entry port 110, a fluid exit port 112 and a fluid passageway 114 connecting the entry and exit ports.
- An exterior surface proximate the fluid exit port 112 tapers 118 to a reduced diameter to fit within the fluid passageway 25 of the tubing.
- the mandrel 100 delivers air under pressure to fluid entry port 110 while a portion of the tubing is crimped 111 either partially or completely to provide axially directed pressure to inflate the tubing sidewalls into contact with the sealing dies 32, 34.
- the air should be supplied under pressure within the range of approximately 20-40 psi, more preferably from 25-35 psi and most preferably from 27-31 psi or any range or subcombination of ranges therein.
- the second fluid passageway 120 can be mounted in horizontal or vertical spaced relationship or mounted coaxially.
- the air escape passages 122 assist in regulating the pressure supplied to the tubing.
- the air escape passage 122 can also be provided, as shown in Figure 10, by positioning a vent 123 in the outer surface of the mandrel.
- the method of using the mandrel 100 in sealing tubing includes the steps of positioning an end portion of the tubing between perimeter edges of the pair of planar members 16 to define an interface area 26, inserting the fluid discharge port of the mandrel into the entry port of the rounded member and into the fluid passageway, supplying fluid under pressure through the mandrel 100 into the fluid passageway of the tubing to supply a radially directed force to the inner surface of the sidewall of the tubing to inflate the tubing, and applying sealing energy to the interface area 26 with the welding die to heat the tubing to a temperature sufficient to soften a portion of the rounded member forming a weld between the planar members and the tubing in the interface area.
- the hot welding die 130 can be applied first to create a weld and the cold welding die 132 can be shuttled to cool the interface area 26.
- Example 1- a monolayer tubing of ULDPE (Dow PL 8180) was extruded having an inner diameter of 0.375 inches an outer diameter of 0.438, a wall thickness of 0.031 inches and a wall to inner diameter ratio of 0.07.
- the monolayer tubing was attached between sidewalls of a multilayer sheeting material having a core layer 80 of an ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer having an ethylene content of 32 mole percent, an outer layer of nylon 12 and an inner layer of ULDPE.
- Tie layers of BYNEL were interposed between the core and outer layer and between the core and inner layers.
- the monolayer tubing was inserted between the sheeting material and supplied with 30 psi of pressurized air while a shaped die was closed about the tubing.
- Example 2-a multilayered tubing was fabricated by coextruding an outer layer of ULDPE (Dow PL 8180) onto an inner layer of PVC (PL 1847). The multilayered tubing was welded to the sheeting material described in Example 1 and tested for channel leakage as described in Example 1. No channel leakage was observed.
- Example 3- a monolayer tubing of ULDPE (Dow PL 1880) was extruded having an inner diameter of 0J 88 inches an outer diameter of 0.375, a wall thickness of 0.094 inches and a wall to inner diameter ratio of 0.25.
- the monolayer tubing was attached between sidewalls of a multilayer sheeting material having a core layer 80 of an ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer having an ethylene content of 32 mole percent, an outer layer of nylon 12 and an inner layer of ULDPE. Tie layers of BYNEL were interposed between the core and outer layer and between the core and inner layers.
- the monolayer tubing was inserted between the sheeting material while a shaped die was closed about the tubing.
- the sheeting material was sealed on four sides to form a fluid tight pouch. The pouch was filled with water and no channel leakage was observed.
