ABSTRACT:
A container for holding elements to be sterilized prior to introduction into an isolation system having an isolated inner region. The container includes a flexible bag having a first end defining a first opening for removing the elements from the flexible bag. A transfer port is attached to the flexible bag proximate the first end. The transfer port is engageable with the isolation system for transferring the sterilized elements into the isolation system. The transfer port has an exterior surface, and a bore extends through the transfer port and the exterior surface. The exterior surface has a clamp receiving area and a groove located in proximity to a first end of the bore. The first end of the flexible bag is located in the groove. A clamp is located around the flexible bag proximate to the first end. A portion of the flexible bag is located between the clamp and the clamp receiving area on the transfer port to clamp the flexible bag to the transfer port. A sealing material is located in the groove and encapsulates the first end of the flexible bag to hermetically seal the flexible bag to the transfer port.
