blood bags

Stored life fluid

Blood bags are sealed plastic containers used to collect, store, and transfuse blood and blood products.

In medical settings, they're connected to tubing for donation and fitted with anticoagulants to preserve the blood: The trauma center was running low on blood bags.

In vampire fiction and slang, blood bag is a derisive term for humans—viewed merely as a source of sustenance.
