Researchers Submit Patent Application, "Bag Fitment Having Internal Spike Port", for Approval (USPTO 20250017821).

Researchers Kuo and Shydo have submitted a patent application for a "Bag Fitment Having Internal Spike Port" designed for use in medical bags, particularly in cell and gene therapy applications. The fitment includes features such as a spike port aperture and guide features to facilitate fluid transfer without increasing the length of the bag or requiring rigid protrusions. This innovation aims to improve resistance to breakage and leaking, especially when bags are frozen and thawed, making them easier to handle and use in clinical settings. [Extracted from the article]
