Blood bag
A blood bag is a sterile, specially designed medical container used for the collection, storage, and transfusion of human blood and blood components. It is usually made of medical-grade, biocompatible plastic (commonly polyvinyl chloride – PVC) that is safe for storing blood without affecting its quality. Blood bags are an essential component in blood banks, hospitals, and transfusion centers.
