ABSTRACT:
The invention described holds dialysis bag and other similar articles containing delicate membrane securely in place so that biological solution can be added or collected, safely. The Dialysis Bag Holder contains bottom, vertical and top plates, cradle tubes and a funnel holding mechanism. The bottom plate holds vertical plate and cradle tubes. The vertical plate, besides providing additional support to cradle tubes, holds the top plate firmly in place. The top plate located over the tip of cradle tubes, seats funnel for pouring large volume of sample. Cradle tubes, attached permanently at an angle to the top of bottom plate, hold dialysis bags. The angle of attachment makes cradle tubes have an ascending slope. The concave holding surface of cradle tube complements with the cylindrical body of the bag or similar articles. The entire unit provides stability to the dialysis bag before, during and after loading biological sample. The cradle tube not only provides open access to dialysis bag but also saves in its cup any sample spilled. The cup controls the lower part of dialysis bag closed with twine. The notch at the top of cup restrains the movement of bag closed with a clamp. The cradle tube is equally useful at the time of collection of dialyzed sample. Other embodiments incorporating modifications and substitutions also serve similar purposes. A major advantage of these Dialysis Bag Holders is that cradle tube permits loading of dialysis bags of varying lengths. By providing open access to bag, these units eliminate potential accidents leading to the loss of sample. All units are simple to use and easy to store.
