Closing cap for containers filled with medical liquids
The invention relates to a closing cap for containers that are filled with medical liquids. The closing cap includes removal and injection sites. The removal site has a first opening for removing the medical liquid and is obturated by a first pierceable self-sealing membrane. The injection site includes a second opening for injecting an additive and is obturated by a second pierceable self-sealing membrane. The first and second membranes are configured differently.

11. The closing cap according to claim 10 , wherein the first membrane has an outer annular portion and a middle annular portion, the middle annular portion having an upper and lower seating face and an inner plate-shaped portion in which the upper mould-shaped recess is formed, the middle annular portion held in a clamped manner in the cap.
12. The closing cap according to claim 11 , wherein the inner plate-shaped portion has a flat underside.
13. The closing cap according to claim 11 , wherein the middle annular portion has a smaller cross-section than the outer annular portion.
14. The closing cap according to claim 1 , wherein the first membrane has a smaller cross-section in the centre than the second membrane.
15. The closing cap according to claim 1 , wherein the first membrane is weakened.
16. The closing cap according to claim 15 , wherein the first membrane is pre-slit.
17. The closing cap according to claim 1 , wherein the second membrane includes trough-shaped recesses on its upper side and lower side.
18. The closing cap according to claim 17 , wherein the second membrane has an outer annular portion with an upper and lower seating face and an inner plate-shaped portion, in which the trough-shaped recesses on the upper side and lower side are formed, the outer annular portion held in a clamped manner in the cap.
19. The closing cap according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first and second membranes are made from a synthetic rubber.
20. The closing cap according to claim 19 , wherein at least one of the first and second membranes are made of polyisoprene.
21. The closing cap according to claim 1 , wherein the cap is an injection-moulded part.
22. The closing cap according to claim 21 , wherein the cap is made of polyolefin.
23. The closing cap according to claim 1 , wherein the first membrane and the second membrane are separated from each other by a central portion of the cap.
24. A closing cap for containers filled with medical liquid, comprising:
a removal site configured to remove the medical liquid;
an injection site configured to inject an additive,
wherein the removal site and the injection site are configured as separate accesses, the removal site configured to provide access to a first opening for removing the liquid, and the injection site configured to provide access to a second opening for injecting the additive;
a first pierceable self-sealing membrane within the first opening, and a second pierceable self-sealing membrane within the second opening, the first and second pierceable membranes having different configurations;
a lid part, wherein the first and second openings are recessed in the lid part;
a side part; and
a retaining plate arranged at the inside of the lid part, the first and second membranes clamped to the retaining plate,
wherein the retaining plate is inserted into the cap in a lock-in or snap-in manner, or the retaining plate and the side part are one piece and the lid part is configured as a cap body that is foldable down from the side part.
25. The closing cap according to claim 24 , wherein the retaining plate includes shoulders engaging beneath at least one of the first and second membranes.
26. The closing cap according to claim 24 , wherein the lid part is fixed with a hinge to the side part.
27. The closing cap according to claim 24 , wherein said retaining plate is arranged in an annular groove at the inside of the side part.
28. A container for medical liquids, comprising:
a bottle-shaped structure; and
a closing cap attachable to the bottle-shaped structure, the closing cap including:
a removal site configured to remove the medical liquid and an injection site configured to inject an additive, wherein the removal site and the injection site are configured as separate accesses, the removal site configured to provide access to a first opening for removing the liquid,
the first opening obturated by a first pierceable self-sealing membrane, and the injection site configured to provide access to a second opening for injecting the additive, the second opening obturated by a second pierceable self-sealing membrane, the first and second pierceable membranes having different configurations; and
