A medical bag formed of a flexible material includes a front bag part and
a rear bag part joined together to form a bag body. A closable liquid
inlet port is provided in an upper part of the bag body. The medical bag
further includes a deformable elongated member provided in the vicinity
of the liquid inlet port on at least one of the front and rear bag parts.
The elongated member is deformable so as to retain the liquid inlet port
in an open configuration when the elongated member is in a deformed
state.
