Description

本発明は、医療用容器の製造方法および医療用容器に関する。   The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a medical container and a medical container.

輸液バッグ等の医療用容器としては、軟質樹脂製シートにより構成されたシート状の筒状体の上下開口端を熱融着し、内部に薬剤を充填したものが広く用いられている。この熱融着は、一般に、シート状筒状体の開口端を、熱金型で加熱プレスした後、加熱プレスにより形成された溶融状態のシール部を冷却金型によりプレスすることにより行われる。
しかし、シート状筒状体を熱金型により加熱プレスした際、筒状体の折り返し部付近に多量の空気が残存することがある。この状態で冷却金型によりプレスすると、残存空気が溶融状態のシール部側に押し出され、シール部内部に気泡が形成され、これが潰れるとピンホールが生じるおそれがある。ピンホールが存在すると、医療用容器の気密性が損なわれ、例えば、空気中の水分、酸素、二酸化炭素などが容器内に侵入し、薬剤を変質させるおそれがある。特に、薬剤室のシール際にピンホールが発生すると、液漏れ、薬剤の変質等の影響が大きい。 As medical containers such as infusion bags, those in which the upper and lower openings of a sheet-like cylindrical body made of a soft resin sheet are heat-sealed and filled with a medicine are widely used. This heat fusion is generally performed by pressing the open end of the sheet-like cylindrical body with a hot mold and then pressing the melted seal portion formed by the hot press with a cooling mold.
However, when the sheet-like cylindrical body is heated and pressed with a hot mold, a large amount of air may remain near the folded portion of the cylindrical body. If the cooling mold is pressed in this state, the residual air is pushed out to the melted seal portion side, and bubbles are formed inside the seal portion. When pinholes are present, the airtightness of the medical container is impaired. For example, moisture, oxygen, carbon dioxide, etc. in the air may enter the container and alter the drug. In particular, if a pinhole is generated when the drug chamber is sealed, the influence of liquid leakage, drug alteration, and the like is great.

そこで、本件出願人は、特開２００１−２０４７９２号（特許文献１）に示すものを提案している。
特許文献１には、チューブ状に形成され、折り返し部を有するシート材で構成され、前記シート材をヒートシールすることによって形成されたバッグの内部に液体が収納された医療用容器の製造方法であって、前記シート材の前記折り返し部の少なくとも一部を含む領域を予備シールして予備シール部を形成し、次いで、前記予備シール部よりシール強度が大きく、かつ前記折り返し部において前記予備シール部と重なるように再びシールしてシール部を形成し、その後、前記バッグ内部に前記液体を注入することを特徴とする医療用容器の製造方法が提案されている。この製造方法の目的は、シール部における気泡、ピンホール等の欠陥の発生を防止することである。
上記のものもシール部における気泡、ピンホール等の発生を十分に防止するが、より高いピンホール発生の防止が望まれている。
特開２００１−２０４７９２号公報 Therefore, the applicant of the present application has proposed one disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-204792 (Patent Document 1).
Patent Document 1 discloses a method for manufacturing a medical container that is formed in a tube shape and is configured by a sheet material having a folded portion, and in which a liquid is stored in a bag formed by heat-sealing the sheet material. A preliminary seal portion is formed by pre-sealing a region including at least a part of the folded portion of the sheet material, and then the seal strength is larger than that of the preliminary seal portion, and the preliminary seal portion in the folded portion. A method of manufacturing a medical container has been proposed, in which a sealing portion is formed by sealing again so as to overlap, and then the liquid is injected into the bag. The purpose of this manufacturing method is to prevent the occurrence of defects such as bubbles and pinholes in the seal portion.
Although the above-mentioned ones sufficiently prevent the generation of bubbles, pinholes and the like in the seal portion, it is desired to prevent the occurrence of higher pinholes.

このため、本発明の医療用容器の製造方法によれば、チューブ状の樹脂製シートを熱金型によりプレスした際に大量に残ったシート材の折り返し部付近の空気が、冷却金型によるプレスでシール部側（溶融プレス部側）に押し出され、ピンホール発生原因となる気泡が形成されることが無い。さらに曲げ反発性の強いシートにより構成された筒状体をシールした場合、折り返し部のシートの反発性によりシール際に肉薄部もしくはピンホール部が形成されることを防止する医療用容器を製造することができる。 The method for producing a medical container of the present invention comprises two sides formed by being formed into a tube shape and bent, a sealed upper end portion and a lower end portion, a drug chamber formed therein, A medical container manufacturing method comprising a medicine housed in a medicine chamber, wherein the medical container manufacturing method comprises producing a tube from a soft synthetic resin and bending the tube to form a sheet-like cylindrical body. A step of preparing, and an upper end portion and a lower end portion of the sheet-like cylindrical body are pressed by a hot mold to form an upper end side seal portion and a lower end side seal portion, and the upper end side seal portion and the lower end side seal portion A heating press step for forming a drug chamber forming portion on the inside, and a cooling press step for cooling the upper end side seal portion and the lower end side seal portion by pressing a cooling mold, and the cooling press Process In the heating and pressing step, both lower ends on both sides of the bulging portion formed in the vicinity of the boundary portion between the upper end side seal portion and the drug chamber forming portion, and the vicinity of the boundary portion between the lower end side seal portion and the drug chamber forming portion The upper end portions on both sides of the bulging portion formed in the above are cooled by the cooling mold, and the bulging portion is not completely crushed.
For this reason, according to the method for manufacturing a medical container of the present invention, when a tube-shaped resin sheet is pressed by a hot die, a large amount of air in the vicinity of the folded portion of the sheet material is pressed by the cooling die. Thus, no air bubbles are formed which are pushed out to the seal part side (melting press part side) and cause pinholes. Further, when a cylindrical body constituted by a sheet having a strong bending resilience is sealed, a medical container that prevents a thin portion or a pinhole portion from being formed at the time of sealing due to the resilience of the folded portion sheet is manufactured. be able to.

また、前記冷却プレス工程が、前記冷却金型が前記膨出部を押圧するとともに、該膨出部付近の前記薬剤室形成部を形成するシート表面に実質的に接触しないように行うものであれば、チューブ内残存空気の押し出しによるピンホール部発生及び折り返し部のシートの反発性によりシール際に肉薄部もしくはピンホール部の形成をより確実に防止することができる。
また、前記冷却プレス工程において、前記両側下端部を除く部分の前記上端側シール部側の膨出部は、前記両側下端部の膨出部のプレスと同様もしくは該プレスよりも強く冷却金型によりプレスされるものであり、前記両側上端部を除く部分の前記下端側シール部側の膨出部は、前記両側上端部の膨出部のプレスと同様もしくは該プレスよりも強く冷却金型によりプレスされるものであれば、加熱プレス工程において形成される膨出部全体におけるシール際の肉薄部もしくはピンホール部の形成をより確実に防止する。 Further, the cooling press step is performed so that the cooling mold presses the bulging portion and does not substantially contact the surface of the sheet forming the drug chamber forming portion near the bulging portion. For example, it is possible to more reliably prevent the formation of a thin portion or a pinhole portion at the time of sealing due to the generation of the pinhole portion due to the extrusion of the residual air in the tube and the resilience of the sheet of the folded portion.
Further, in the cooling press step, the bulging portion on the upper end side seal portion side of the portion excluding the lower end portions on both sides is the same as the pressing of the bulging portion on the lower end portions on both sides or stronger than the press by a cooling mold. The bulging portion on the lower end seal portion side of the portion excluding the upper end portions on both sides is pressed by a cooling mold in the same manner as the bulging portion on the upper end portions on both sides or stronger than the press. If it is done, formation of the thin part or pinhole part at the time of sealing in the whole bulging part formed in a heat press process is prevented more reliably.

また、前記冷却プレス工程に使用される冷却金型が、前記上端側シール部及び下端側シール部をプレスするメインプレス面と、前記膨出部をプレスする膨出部プレス面と、前記薬剤室形成部上に配置される非プレス面とを備えているものであれば、上記の冷却プレス工程を容易かつ確実に行うことができる。

本発明の実施例の医療用容器１は、図１に示すように、シート状筒状体３により構成され、上端部に形成された上端側シール部５と下端部に形成された下端側シール部６と、内部に形成された薬剤室１５ａと薬剤室１５ｂと、薬剤室１５ａ，１５ｂに収容された薬剤１６，１７からなる軟質バッグ２と、軟質バッグ２の上端部及び下端部に取りつけられた排出ポート２１，２２を備えている。
医療用容器１の製造方法としては、まず、軟質合成樹脂材料によりチューブを成形し、このチューブを折り曲げ平らにすることによりシート状筒状体３を作製する。折り曲げは、合成樹脂製のチューブを軽くプレスすることにより行ってもよい。折り曲げることにより、シート状筒状体３には２つの側辺７，８が形成される。
シート状筒状体３を構成するチューブは、インフレーション成形により筒状に成形されたものが好ましい。また、チューブは、例えば、ブロー成形法、共押出インフレーション法などの種々の方法により製造されたものでもよい。 Moreover, the medical container of this invention is manufactured by said manufacturing method.
As shown in FIG. 1, the medical container 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention is configured by a sheet-like cylindrical body 3, and an upper end side seal portion 5 formed at the upper end portion and a lower end side seal formed at the lower end portion. Attached to the upper end portion and the lower end portion of the soft bag 2, the soft bag 2 including the medicine chambers 15 a and the medicine chamber 15 b formed inside, the medicines 16 and 17 accommodated in the medicine chambers 15 a and 15 b. The exhaust ports 21 and 22 are provided.
As a manufacturing method of the medical container 1, first, a tube is formed from a soft synthetic resin material, and the tube-like body 3 is produced by bending and flattening the tube. The bending may be performed by lightly pressing a synthetic resin tube. By bending, two side edges 7 and 8 are formed in the sheet-like cylindrical body 3.
The tube constituting the sheet-like cylindrical body 3 is preferably one that is formed into a cylindrical shape by inflation molding. The tube may be manufactured by various methods such as a blow molding method and a coextrusion inflation method.

シート筒状体３は、水蒸気バリヤー性を有することが好ましい。水蒸気バリヤー性の程度としては、水蒸気等過度が、５０ｇ／ｍ２・２４ｈｒｓ・４０℃・９０％ＲＨ以下であることが好ましく、より好ましくは１０ｇ／ｍ２・２４ｈｒｓ・４０℃・９０％ＲＨ以下であり、さらに好ましくは１ｇ／ｍ２・２４ｈｒｓ・４０℃・９０％ＲＨ以下である。この水蒸気透過度は、ＪＩＳＫ７１２９（Ａ法）に記載の方法により測定される。このようにシート筒状体３が水蒸気バリヤー性を有することにより、医療用容器１の内部からの水分の蒸散が防止できる。その結果、充填される薬剤１６，１７の減少、濃縮を防止することができる。また、医療用容器１の外部からの水蒸気の侵入も防止することができる。
シート状筒状体３の形成材料としては、例えば、ポリエチレン（ＰＥ）、ポリプロピレン（ＰＰ）、ポリブタジエン、エチレン−酢酸ビニル共重合体（ＥＶＡ）のようなポリオレフィン、オレフィン系エラストマー、スチレン系エラストマー等の各種熱可塑性エラストマーあるいはこれらを任意に組み合わせたもの（ブレンド樹脂、ポリマーアロイ、積層体等）が挙げられる。そして、使用する樹脂材料は、高圧蒸気滅菌（オートクレーブ滅菌）に耐えられる耐熱性、耐水性を有していることが好ましい。 The sheet cylindrical body 3 preferably has a water vapor barrier property. As the degree of water vapor barrier property, excess water vapor is preferably 50 g / m 2 · 24 hrs · 40 ° C. · 90% RH or less, more preferably 10 g / m 2 · 24 hrs · 40 ° C. · 90% RH or less. More preferably, it is 1 g / m 2 · 24 hrs · 40 ° C. · 90% RH or less. This water vapor permeability is measured by the method described in JISK7129 (Method A). Thus, when the sheet | seat cylindrical body 3 has water vapor | steam barrier property, the evaporation of the water | moisture content from the inside of the medical container 1 can be prevented. As a result, it is possible to prevent reduction and concentration of the medicines 16 and 17 to be filled. Moreover, the invasion of water vapor from the outside of the medical container 1 can be prevented.
Examples of the material for forming the sheet-like cylindrical body 3 include polyolefins such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polybutadiene, and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA), olefin elastomers, and styrene elastomers. Various thermoplastic elastomers or those arbitrarily combined (blend resin, polymer alloy, laminate, etc.) can be mentioned. And it is preferable that the resin material to be used has the heat resistance and water resistance which can endure high pressure steam sterilization (autoclave sterilization).

また、シート状筒状体３の形成材料として、ポリオレフィンが含有されるとき、本発明の有用性が大きいものとなる。したがって、本発明においては、シート状筒状体３の形成材料として、ポリオレフィンを含むものであるのが好ましい。シート状筒状体３の形成材料として、特に好ましいものとして、ポリエチレンまたはポリプロピレンに、スチレン−ブタジエン共重合体やスチレン−エチレン−ブチレン−スチレンブロック共重合体等のスチレン系熱可塑性エラストマーあるいはエチレン−プロピレン共重合体やエチレン−ブテン共重合体，プロピレン−αオレフィン共重合体等のオレフィン系熱可塑性エラストマーをブレンドし柔軟化した軟質樹脂を挙げることができる。この材料は、高強度で柔軟性に富み、耐熱性（特に滅菌時の耐熱性）、耐水性が高い他、加工性が特に優れ、製造コストの低減を図ることができる点で好ましい。   Moreover, when polyolefin is contained as a forming material of the sheet-like cylindrical body 3, the usefulness of the present invention is great. Therefore, in this invention, it is preferable that polyolefin is included as a forming material of the sheet-like cylinder 3. As a material for forming the sheet-like cylindrical body 3, particularly preferable are polyethylene, polypropylene, styrene-based thermoplastic elastomers such as styrene-butadiene copolymer and styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene block copolymer, or ethylene-propylene. A soft resin obtained by blending and softening an olefin-based thermoplastic elastomer such as a copolymer, an ethylene-butene copolymer, or a propylene-α-olefin copolymer can be given. This material is preferable in that it has high strength and flexibility, heat resistance (particularly heat resistance during sterilization) and water resistance, and is particularly excellent in workability and can reduce manufacturing costs.

シート状筒状体３を構成するシート材は、上述したような材料よりなる単層構造のもの（単層体）であってもよいし、また種々の目的で、複数の層（特に異種材料の層）を重ねた多層積層体であってもよい。多層積層体の場合、複数の樹脂層を重ねたものであってもよいし、少なくとも１層の樹脂層に金属層を積層したものであってもよい。複数の樹脂層を重ねたものの場合、それぞれの樹脂の利点を併有することができ、例えば、軟質バッグ２の耐衝撃性を向上させたり、対ブロッキング性を付与したりすることができる。また、金属層を有するものの場合、シート状筒状体２のガスバリヤー性等を向上させることができる。例えば、アルミ箔等のフィルムが積層された場合、ガスバリヤー性の向上とともに、遮光性を付与したりすることができる。また、酸化チタン、酸化アルミニウム、酸化ケイ素等の酸化物からなる層を形成した場合、ガスバリヤー性の向上とともに、軟質バッグ２の透明性を維持することができ、内部の視認性を確保することができる。なお、軟質バッグ２が多層積層体である場合、その内表面部分を形成する材料が、前述した材料であるのが好ましい。

In the case of a multilayer laminate, a plurality of resin layers may be stacked, or a metal layer may be stacked on at least one resin layer. In the case where a plurality of resin layers are stacked, the advantages of the respective resins can be provided together. For example, the impact resistance of the soft bag 2 can be improved, or anti-blocking properties can be imparted. Moreover, in the case of a thing with a metal layer, the gas barrier property of the sheet-like cylindrical body 2 etc. can be improved. For example, when a film such as an aluminum foil is laminated, the gas barrier property can be improved and the light shielding property can be imparted. In addition, when a layer made of an oxide such as titanium oxide, aluminum oxide, or silicon oxide is formed, the transparency of the flexible bag 2 can be maintained while improving the gas barrier property, and the internal visibility can be secured.

上述したような金型を用いて加熱プレス工程を行う。加熱プレスは、上述したように作製したシート状筒状体３を、図６に示すように、熱金型受け台８０の表面の所定位置に配置し、上側から熱金型７０によりプレスすることにより行われる。
加熱プレス工程における熱金型７０の温度は、シート状筒状体３の形成材料の溶融温度より５５℃以上高いものとすることが好ましい。特に、７５〜１０５℃高いものとすることが好ましい。また、シート状筒状体が積層体により形成されている場合には、内側層を形成する形成材料の溶融温度より５５℃以上高いものとすることが好ましい。特に、７５〜１０５℃高いものとすることが好ましい。具体的な金型の温度は、筒状体３の形成材料によっても相違するが、例えば、金型温度が好ましくは１９０〜２５０℃、より好ましくは２１０〜２４０℃とすることが好ましい。また、加熱シール工程におけるシール面圧は、シート状筒状体３の形成材料等によっても相違するが、１５〜１５０Ｎ／ｃｍ２であることが好ましく、３５〜７５Ｎ／ｃｍ２であることがより好ましい。また、シール部５，６のシール強度は、２０〜６５Ｎ／１ｃｍ幅であることが好ましく、特に、３０〜６５Ｎ／１ｃｍ幅であることが好ましい。 A hot press process is performed using a mold as described above.

The temperature of the hot mold 70 in the hot pressing step is preferably 55 ° C. or more higher than the melting temperature of the forming material of the sheet-like cylindrical body 3. In particular, it is preferably 75 to 105 ° C. higher. Moreover, when the sheet-like cylindrical body is formed of a laminated body, it is preferable that the temperature is 55 ° C. higher than the melting temperature of the forming material forming the inner layer. In particular, it is preferably 75 to 105 ° C. higher. Although the specific mold temperature varies depending on the material for forming the cylindrical body 3, for example, the mold temperature is preferably 190 to 250 ° C, more preferably 210 to 240 ° C. The seal surface pressure in the heating sealing process also differs by the material for forming the sheet-shaped cylindrical body 3 or the like, but more that is preferably 15~150N / cm 2, a 35~75N / cm 2 preferable.

加熱プレスにより、シート状筒状体３には、図２，図３に示すように、上端側シール部５と、下端側シール部６が形成される。
上端側シール部５は、２つの加熱プレス面７１ａ，７１ｂにより筒状体３の上端部の両肩に形成された２つのシール部５２，５３からなる。シール部５２，５３の間には、非シール部である排出ポート取付部５１が形成されている。シート状筒状体３の上端開口部は、排出ポート取付部５１を除いてシールされている。本発明の実施例の排出ポート取付部５１は、中央から左寄りに形成されている。下端側シール部６は、２つの加熱プレス面７２ａ，７２ｂよりシート状筒状体３の下端部の両肩に形成された２つのシール部６２，６３からなる。シール部６２，６３は、ほぼ対照形状となっている。シール部６２，６３の間には、非シール部である排出ポート取付部６１が形成されている。排出ポート取付部６１は、下端部のほぼ中心に形成されている。シート状筒状体３の下端開口部は、排出ポート取付部６１を除いてシールされている。上端側シール部５と下端側シール部６の内側には、金型７０によりヒートシールされないため薬剤室形成部１５ａ，１５ｂが形成される。 As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, an upper end side seal portion 5 and a lower end side seal portion 6 are formed in the sheet-like cylindrical body 3 by the heating press.
The upper end side seal portion 5 includes two seal portions 52 and 53 formed on both shoulders of the upper end portion of the cylindrical body 3 by two heat press surfaces 71a and 71b. A discharge port mounting portion 51 that is a non-seal portion is formed between the seal portions 52 and 53. The upper end opening of the sheet-like cylindrical body 3 is sealed except for the discharge port attachment portion 51. The discharge port mounting portion 51 of the embodiment of the present invention is formed on the left side from the center. The lower end side seal portion 6 includes two seal portions 62 and 63 formed on both shoulders of the lower end portion of the sheet-like cylindrical body 3 from the two heating press surfaces 72a and 72b. The seal portions 62 and 63 have a substantially contrast shape. A discharge port mounting portion 61 that is a non-seal portion is formed between the seal portions 62 and 63. The discharge port mounting portion 61 is formed at substantially the center of the lower end portion. The lower end opening of the sheet-like cylindrical body 3 is sealed except for the discharge port attachment 61. Inside the upper end side seal portion 5 and the lower end side seal portion 6, drug chamber forming portions 15 a and 15 b are formed because they are not heat sealed by the mold 70.

加熱プレス工程は、上端側シール部及び下端側シール部の両端部が薬剤室側に突出する形態となるように行うものであることが好ましい。また、加熱プレス工程は、上端側シール部及び下端側シール部の内縁が側辺に向かうに従って向かい合う上端もしくは下端側に近づく形態となるように行うことが好ましい。本発明の実施例では、熱金型７０が上述したような構成をしているため、図２，図３に示すように、上端側シール部５２，５３と下端側シール部６２，６３の両端部は、薬剤室形成部１５ａ，１５ｂ側に突出している。上端側シール部５と下端側シール部６の両端部は、外側に向かって湾曲するような形状となっている。また、上端側シール部５と下端側シール部６の両端部は、薬剤室形成部１５ａ，１５ｂに向かって徐々に細くなっている。
上端側シール部５（５２，５３）及び下端側シール部６（６２，６３）の内縁部には、図２，図３に示すように、上述した突条部７７，７６，７８，７９により形成された、強シール部が形成されるとともに膨出部５８，６８が形成される。強シール部が形成されることにより、シール際における切れもしくは剥離が防止される。 The heat pressing step is preferably performed so that both end portions of the upper end side seal portion and the lower end side seal portion protrude in the medicine chamber side. Moreover, it is preferable to perform a hot press process so that it may become a form which approaches the upper end or lower end side which faces the inner edge of an upper end side seal part and a lower end side seal part toward a side. In the embodiment of the present invention, since the thermal mold 70 is configured as described above, both ends of the upper end side seal portions 52 and 53 and the lower end side seal portions 62 and 63 as shown in FIGS. The portion protrudes toward the drug chamber forming portions 15a and 15b. Both end portions of the upper end side seal portion 5 and the lower end side seal portion 6 are shaped to bend outward. Further, both end portions of the upper end side seal portion 5 and the lower end side seal portion 6 are gradually narrowed toward the drug chamber forming portions 15a and 15b.
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the above-described protrusions 77, 76, 78, and 79 are provided on the inner edge portions of the upper end side seal portion 5 (52, 53) and the lower end side seal portion 6 (62, 63). The formed strong seal portion is formed and the bulging portions 58 and 68 are formed. By forming the strong seal portion, cutting or peeling at the time of sealing is prevented.

曲げ反発性の高いシート状筒状体の加熱プレス工程の際には、図１に示すシート状筒状体３の折り返し部（側辺７，８）付近に空気が残存することがあり、この状態において強く冷却プレスすると、残存空気がシール部（密着部）側に押し出され気泡が形成されることがある。この気泡が潰れるとピンホールとなることが多い。特に、折り返し部（側辺７，８）に近い液体収納部１５の内縁部（シール際）およびその付近においては、冷却プレスする際に気泡あるいは空気の通り道が形成されやすいためピンホールが生じやすい。   In the heat pressing step of the sheet-like cylindrical body having high bending resilience, air may remain in the vicinity of the folded portion (sides 7 and 8) of the sheet-like cylindrical body 3 shown in FIG. When strongly cooled and pressed in the state, the remaining air may be pushed out to the seal part (adhesion part) side to form bubbles. When these bubbles are crushed, they often become pinholes. In particular, in the inner edge portion (when sealing) near the folded portion (sides 7 and 8) and in the vicinity thereof, bubbles or air passages are likely to be formed during cooling press, so that pinholes are likely to occur. .

また、上述した加熱プレス工程により、上端側シール部５及び下端側シール部６と薬剤室形成部１５ａ，１５ｂとの境界部付近には、膨出部５８，６８が形成されるとともに、図１０に示すように、膨出部５８，６８付近のシート３ａ，３ｂ間には、不完全溶着部５９が形成される。言い換えると、不完全溶着部５９は、未溶着部である薬剤室形成部１５と溶着部である上端側シール部５（５２，５３）及び下端側シール部６（６２，６３）との境界部付近に形成されている。不完全溶着部５９とは、シート状筒状体３を構成するシート同士がある程度溶着しているが、完全には溶着していない部分である。曲げ反発性の高いシートにより構成されたシート状筒状体３をシールした場合、このような不完全溶着部が存在すると、図１１に示すように、未溶着部分のシートが伸びようとする反発により、不完全溶着部５９と溶着部５２，５３，６２，６３との境界部付近のシートが内部から延ばされ、肉薄部６４もしくはピンホールが形成されるおそれがある。このような問題は、特に、上端側シール部５及び下端側シール部６の両側部と薬剤室形成部１５ａ，１５ｂとの境界部及びその周辺部５２ａ，５３ａ，６２ａ，６３ａにて起こりやすい。   In addition, bulging portions 58 and 68 are formed in the vicinity of the boundary between the upper end side seal portion 5 and the lower end side seal portion 6 and the drug chamber forming portions 15a and 15b by the above-described hot pressing process, and FIG. As shown, an incompletely welded portion 59 is formed between the sheets 3a and 3b in the vicinity of the bulging portions 58 and 68. In other words, the incompletely welded portion 59 is a boundary portion between the drug chamber forming portion 15 that is an unwelded portion and the upper end side seal portion 5 (52, 53) and the lower end side seal portion 6 (62, 63) that are welded portions. It is formed in the vicinity. The incompletely welded portion 59 is a portion where the sheets constituting the sheet-like cylindrical body 3 are welded to some extent but are not completely welded. When the sheet-like cylindrical body 3 composed of a sheet having high bending resilience is sealed, if such an incompletely welded portion is present, as shown in FIG. As a result, the sheet in the vicinity of the boundary between the incompletely welded portion 59 and the welded portions 52, 53, 62, and 63 may be extended from the inside, and a thin portion 64 or a pinhole may be formed. Such a problem is particularly likely to occur at the boundary portions between the both side portions of the upper end side seal portion 5 and the lower end side seal portion 6 and the drug chamber forming portions 15a, 15b and the peripheral portions 52a, 53a, 62a, 63a.

また、医療用容器の製造方法においては、仕切用シール形成工程が行われる場合もある。仕切用シール形成工程は、薬剤室の押圧により剥離可能な弱シール部を形成する工程である。この仕切用シール形成工程により形成される仕切用シール部９により、薬剤室１５は、薬剤室１５ａと薬剤室１５ｂに区分される。仕切用シール部９は、軟質バッグ２の中央付近を水平に延びており、両端部が側辺７，８に到達している。そして、仕切用シール部９の両端部は、図１に示すように、二股に分岐している。そして、仕切用シール部９の分岐部の間には、押圧により剥離しないシール部９ａが形成されていることが好ましい。仕切用シール形成工程は、上述した熱プレス工程の前後いずれに行ってもよい。   Moreover, in the manufacturing method of a medical container, the partition seal formation process may be performed. The partition seal forming step is a step of forming a weak seal portion that can be peeled off by pressing the drug chamber. The drug chamber 15 is divided into a drug chamber 15a and a drug chamber 15b by the partition seal portion 9 formed by the partition seal forming step. The partition seal portion 9 extends horizontally around the center of the soft bag 2, and both end portions reach the side edges 7 and 8. Then, both end portions of the partition seal portion 9 are bifurcated as shown in FIG. And it is preferable that the seal part 9a which is not peeled off by pressing is formed between the branch parts of the partition seal part 9. The partition seal forming step may be performed either before or after the hot press step described above.

次に、加熱プレス工程を行った直後の溶融状態の上端側シール部５及び下端側シール部６を冷却金型を用いて行う冷却プレス工程について説明する。
図１２は、本発明の医療用容器の製造方法に使用される金型を構成する熱金型の外観図である。
冷却プレス工程は、上端側シール部５及び下端側シール部６を冷却金型９０によりプレスすることにより行うものである。そして、冷却プレス工程は、加熱プレス工程において、上端側シール部５と薬剤室形成部１５ａとの境界部付近に形成された膨出部５８の両側下端部５８ａ、５８ｂならびに下端側シール部６と薬剤室形成部１５ｂとの境界部付近に形成された膨出部６８の両側上端部６８ａ，６８ｂが、冷却金型９０により冷却されるとともに、膨出部の両側部分５８ａ，５８ｂ，６８ａ，６８ｂを完全に押しつぶさないように行われる。 Next, the cooling press process which performs the upper end side seal part 5 and the lower end side seal part 6 of the molten state immediately after performing a heat press process using a cooling die is demonstrated.
FIG. 12 is an external view of a thermal mold constituting a mold used in the method for producing a medical container of the present invention.
The cooling press step is performed by pressing the upper end side seal portion 5 and the lower end side seal portion 6 with the cooling mold 90. The cooling press process includes both lower ends 58a and 58b of the bulging portion 58 formed near the boundary between the upper end side seal portion 5 and the drug chamber forming portion 15a and the lower end side seal portion 6 in the hot press step. Both upper ends 68a and 68b of the bulging portion 68 formed near the boundary with the drug chamber forming portion 15b are cooled by the cooling mold 90 and both side portions 58a, 58b, 68a and 68b of the bulging portion. It is done not to crush completely.

加熱プレス工程の際に、図２，図３，図４，図５に示すシート状筒状体３の折り返し部（側辺７，８）付近に空気が残存することがあり、この状態で冷却プレスすると、残存空気が溶着部側に押し出され気泡が形成され、気泡が潰れるとピンホールが発生するおそれがある。特に、側辺７，８に近い薬剤室形成部１５ａ，１５ｂと溶融状態のシール部５，６との境界部およびその周辺部５２ａ，５３ａ，６２ａ，６３ａにおいて、冷却プレスする際に気泡もしくは空気の通り道が形成されやすいためピンホールが生じやすい。しかし、上記のようにすることにより、上述した不完全溶着部５９が存在することによるシール際における肉薄部の形成もしくはピンホールの発生を防止することができる。   During the hot pressing process, air may remain in the vicinity of the folded portion (sides 7 and 8) of the sheet-like cylindrical body 3 shown in FIGS. 2, 3, 4 and 5, and cooling is performed in this state. When pressed, residual air is pushed out toward the welded portion to form bubbles, and if the bubbles are crushed, pinholes may be generated. In particular, at the boundary between the drug chamber forming portions 15a and 15b near the side edges 7 and 8 and the melted seal portions 5 and 6 and the peripheral portions 52a, 53a, 62a and 63a, bubbles or air A pinhole is likely to occur because a passageway is easily formed. However, by doing as described above, it is possible to prevent the formation of a thin portion or the occurrence of pinholes at the time of sealing due to the presence of the incompletely welded portion 59 described above.

冷却プレス工程は、上端側シール部５及び下端側シール部６をプレスするものの、上記の膨出部の両側部分５８ａ，５８ｂ，６８ａ，６８ｂは、上端側シール部５及び下端側シール部６のプレスされる部分に比べて、冷却金型により弱くプレス（弱プレスと言うことができる）される。言い換えれば、冷却プレス工程では、上端側シール部５および下端側シール部６の膨出部の両側部分５８ａ，５８ｂ，６８ａ，６８ｂ以外の部分は、冷却金型により強くプレス（強プレスと言うことができる）される。なお、冷却プレス工程では、両側下端部５８ａ，５８ｂを除く部分の上端側シール部側の膨出部５８は、両側下端部５８ａ、５８ｂの膨出部のプレスと同様のプレス（弱プレス）であっても上記の強プレスであってもよい。同様に、両側上端部６８ａ，６８ｂを除く部分の下端側シール部側の膨出部６８は、両側上端部６８ａ、６８ｂの膨出部のプレスと同様のプレス（弱プレス）であっても上記の強プレスであってもよい。   In the cooling press process, the upper end side seal portion 5 and the lower end side seal portion 6 are pressed. However, the both side portions 58a, 58b, 68a, 68b of the bulging portion are the same as those of the upper end side seal portion 5 and the lower end side seal portion 6. Compared with the portion to be pressed, it is weakly pressed by the cooling mold (it can be said to be weak press). In other words, in the cooling press process, the portions other than the both side portions 58a, 58b, 68a, 68b of the bulging portions of the upper end side seal portion 5 and the lower end side seal portion 6 are strongly pressed by the cooling mold (referred to as strong press). Is possible). In the cooling press step, the bulging portion 58 on the upper end side seal portion side except for the lower end portions 58a and 58b on both sides is a press (weak press) similar to the pressing on the bulging portions on both lower end portions 58a and 58b. Even the above-described strong press may be used. Similarly, even if the bulging portion 68 on the lower end side seal portion side excluding the upper end portions 68a and 68b on both sides is the same press (weak press) as the press on the bulging portions on the upper end portions 68a and 68b on both sides, It may be a strong press.

また、冷却プレス工程は、冷却金型９０が両側部分５８ａ，５８ｂ，６８ａ，６８ｂを含む膨出部５８，６８を押圧するとともに、膨出部５８，５９付近の薬剤室形成部１５ａ，１５ｂを形成するシート表面に実質的に接触しないように行うことが好ましい。
冷却プレス工程に使用される冷却金型９０は、図１２に示すように、上端側シール部５及び下端側シール部６をそれらの両側部と薬剤室形成部１５ａ，１５ｂとの境界部及びその周辺部５２ａ，５３ａ，６２ａ，６３ａを除きプレスするメインプレス面９３，９４と、膨出部５８，６８の両側部５８ａ，５８ｂ，６８ａ，６８ｂをプレスする膨出部プレス面９５，９６と、薬剤室形成部上に配置される非プレス面９９，１００とを備えている。 In the cooling press step, the cooling mold 90 presses the bulging portions 58 and 68 including both side portions 58a, 58b, 68a and 68b, and the drug chamber forming portions 15a and 15b near the bulging portions 58 and 59 are pressed. It is preferable to carry out so as not to substantially contact the surface of the sheet to be formed.
As shown in FIG. 12, the cooling mold 90 used in the cooling press step includes an upper end side seal portion 5 and a lower end side seal portion 6 at the boundary portion between the both side portions and the drug chamber forming portions 15a and 15b, and its Main press surfaces 93, 94 for pressing except for the peripheral portions 52a, 53a, 62a, 63a, and bulging portion press surfaces 95, 96 for pressing both side portions 58a, 58b, 68a, 68b of the bulging portions 58, 68; And non-pressing surfaces 99 and 100 disposed on the medicine chamber forming portion.

図１３、図１４は、図１２のＡ−Ａ線部分にて冷却プレス工程時における金型および医療用容器を切断した場合の端面を説明するための説明図である。
上述した冷却金型９０と受け台８０を用いて冷却プレス工程を行うと、図１３の状態から図１４の状態となる。つまり、メインプレス面９３，９４により、上端側シール部５もしくは下端側シール部６の両側端部を除いて冷却プレスされ、膨出部プレス面９５，９６により、膨出部５８，６８の両側端部５８ａ，５８ｂ，６８ａ，６８ｂが冷却プレスされる。なお、膨出部５８ａ，５８ｂ，６８ａ，６８ｂ部分を除く、上端側シール部５，６の両側端部は、冷却プレスされない。また、図１４に示すように、膨出部プレス面９５，９６によるプレスは、膨出部５８ａ，５８ｂ，６８ａ，６８ｂを完全に押しつぶさず、膨出部プレス面９５，９６が薬剤室形成部分１５ａ，１５ｂを構成するシート３ａの表面と接触しないように行われる。 FIGS. 13 and 14 are explanatory views for explaining an end surface when the mold and the medical container are cut at the time of the cooling press process at the line AA in FIG. 12.
When the cooling press process is performed using the cooling mold 90 and the cradle 80 described above, the state shown in FIG. 13 is changed to the state shown in FIG. That is, the main press surfaces 93 and 94 are cooled and pressed except for both end portions of the upper end side seal portion 5 or the lower end side seal portion 6, and the bulge portion press surfaces 95 and 96 are both sides of the bulge portions 58 and 68.

表１によると、膨出部プレス面とメインプレス面の段差ｄが、０ｍｍ、０．２ｍｍのとき、膨出部プレス面により膨出部及び未シール部（薬剤室形成部）のシート表面が強くプレスされるため、シートの反発は生じないが、未シール部のエアーが溶着部に押し込まれることにより泡抱き部が生じる。また、段差が０．５ｍｍ、０．７ｍｍ、１．０ｍｍのときは、膨出部プレス面により膨出部がプレスされないため泡抱き部は生じないが、膨出部がプレスされないことによりシートの反発が生じた。また、段差が０．４ｍｍのときは膨出部プレス面により未シール部のシート表面がプレスされないため泡抱き部は生じないが、膨出部が十分にプレスされないためシートの弱い反発があった。
一方、段差ｄが０．３ｍｍのときは、膨出部プレス面により適度に膨出部がプレスされるため、シートの反発及び泡抱き部は生じなかった。 (Experiment)
After discharging the medical solution in the medical container from the discharge port, the part (protruded part) that entered the other end of both sides of the seal part was cut horizontally, and the cut surface was observed. Table 1 in FIG. The result was shown in.
According to Table 1, when the level difference d between the bulge portion press surface and the main press surface is 0 mm and 0.2 mm, the bulge portion press surface causes the sheet surface of the bulge portion and the unsealed portion (drug chamber forming portion) to Since the sheet is strongly pressed, the sheet is not repelled, but a bubble-embedding part is generated when the air in the unsealed part is pushed into the welded part. In addition, when the step is 0.5 mm, 0.7 mm, or 1.0 mm, the bulging part is not pressed by the bulging part pressing surface, so that no bubble embossing part is generated, but the bulging part is not pressed, so that the sheet A rebound occurred. In addition, when the level difference is 0.4 mm, the sheet surface of the unsealed portion is not pressed by the bulging portion pressing surface, so that the foam-embracing portion does not occur, but since the bulging portion is not sufficiently pressed, there was a weak repulsion of the sheet. .
On the other hand, when the level difference d was 0.3 mm, the bulging portion was appropriately pressed by the bulging portion pressing surface, and thus the sheet repulsion and the bubble holding portion did not occur.
