A blood component storage container and method utilizing a polyvinyl chloride plastic formulation free or essentially free of leachable materials.

摘要: A blood component storage container is made of a plasticized polyvinyl chloride formulation which includes heat stabilizer system selected from the group consisting salts C10 to C26 saturated fatty acids present in an amount less than about one percent by weight composition. Surprisingly, use only minimal amounts these higher molecular results effectively stabilized product suited for mass production techniques. As result, total can possibly leach into plasma significantly reduced. The material preferably effective plasticizer also essentially nonextractable plasma.
