Abstract
Abstract The storage bottle (10) contains a component of a medicinal solution (13) and a transfer device (11) for transferring it, after mixture with a solvent, into a container for final use. This bottle comprises a narrow neck (12) in which there engages, during the storage phase, a sealing element (15) composed of two elements: a first element (16a) consisting of a solid elastomeric plug and a second element (16b) consisting of an elastomeric toric connection. One opening at least empties into the space formed between the first and the second element of the sealing means.
