A container for a relatively brittle product, such as a haemostatic bandage, including a body and a lid for closing the container to hermetically seal the product therein. A sealing rim of the lid includes a layer of elastomeric material which sealingly engages with a sealing rim of the container body to provide a first, static, seal and a second, dynamic, seal. The elastomeric sealing material extends into the interior of the container beneath the lid to provide an elastomeric formation operative to engage an upper surface of the product within the container so as to apply a resilient bias thereto to hold a lower face of the product against the base of the container. The elastomeric formation thereby acts to inhibit substantial movement of the product within the container.

What is claimed is: 1. A method of manufacturing a haemostatic bandage or other pharmaceutical product, comprising: providing a container having a body and a lid, wherein each of the body and lid comprise a respective sealing rim and wherein the sealing rim of the lid is sealingly engageable with the sealing rim of the body in a hermetically sealed configuration of the container; at least partially manufacturing the product within the container by the step of freeze drying the product within the container with the lid releasably locked to the container body but not fully sealed thereto via the sealing rim of the lid being raised from the sealing rim of the body sufficiently to permit the withdrawal of moisture during freeze drying, and then hermetically sealing the lid to the container body to hermetically seal the freeze dried product within the container. 2. A method according to claim 1, wherein the product is moulded within the container body prior to freeze drying. 3. A method according to claim 1, wherein the body and lid are formed from a robust semi-rigid polymer to protect the product against physical damage. 4. A method of manufacturing a haemostatic bandage or other pharmaceutical product comprising: providing a container having a body which acts as a mould, the body further having a sealing rim; forming the product within the mould by a deposition process, applying to the body a lid, the lid having a sealing rim, in a first configuration such that the lid is releasably locked to the container body in the first configuration in which the lid is raised from the sealing rim of the body sufficiently such that moisture can escape from the container, freeze drying the product in the container with the lid in the first configuration, and moving the lid or a part thereof into a second configuration such that the sealing rim of the lid sealingly engages with the sealing rim of the body such that the freeze dried product is hermetically sealed within the container. 5. A method according to claim 4, wherein the first configuration of the lid is a first position of the lid relative to the container body and the second configuration of the lid is a second position of the lid relative to the container body. 6. A method according the claim 5, wherein in the first configuration the lid is releasably locked relative to the container body in the same orientation it assumes when in the second configuration such that movement of the lid from its first configuration to its second configuration comprises a substantially rectilinear movement relative to the container body in a substantially downwards direction. 7. A method according to claim 4, wherein in the first configuration a first part of the lid is in sealing relation to the body with a second part of the lid being in a position to permit escape of moisture, and in the second configuration the second part is moved into a position in which the container is hermetically sealed. 8. A method according to claim 7, wherein the second part of the lid is integrally hinged to the remainder of the lid and wherein the second part is held in a raised position during freeze drying to permit escape of moisture, and when freeze drying is complete the second part can be lowered to complete the hermetically sealed closure. 9. A method according to claim 4, wherein the step of freeze drying the product includes placing the container body on a freezing shelf of a freeze dryer, and wherein an outer surface of a base of the body is substantially planar to achieve large area surface contact with the freezing shelf. 10. A method according to claim 4, wherein the container with the freeze dried product hermetically sealed therein is subject to sterilization, the container having a facility to effect pressure relief within an interior of the container when hermetically sealed whereby to compensate for pressure variation over a temperature range to embrace sterilization temperatures and freezing temperatures. 11. A method according to claim 10, wherein the pressure relief facility is provided by a deformable wall portion of at least one of the body and the lid. 12. A method according to claim 4, wherein the lid is releasably locked in its freeze drying position by locking lugs, said method comprising applying downwards force to the lid to cause release of the locking lugs and to move the container lid downwardly to cause engagement of its sealing rim with that of the container body to provide the hermetic seal, the lugs acting to guide the lid into its hermetically sealed position. 13. A method according to claim 4, wherein the lid includes an elastomeric formation operative to engage an upper surface of the product within the container when the container is hermetically sealed so as to apply a resilient bias to hold a lower face of the product against the base of the container. 14. A method according to claim 4, wherein the body and lid are formed from a robust semi-rigid polymer to protect the product against physical damage.
