A sterile packaging for sterile medicinal products, in particular implants, forms at least one, or in case of a multiple sterile packaging, at least one first sterile barrier and an outer second sterile barrier, separate and independent from the first sterile barrier, and which is accommodated in an outer packaging. The outer packaging is made of a composite material that includes cardboard and at least one coating or film, and is designed and intended to form the second sterile barrier of the sterile packaging.

Described herein is a holding basket (100) for containing an inner basket (200) for holding at least one medical item for processing having a top end (102) and a base end (104) comprising: an essentially rectangular base (110) and side walls (120, 122, 124) extending from the base (110), two rims (130, 132) each disposed on a first pair (120, 122) of opposing side walls, two windows (140) each disposed on a second pair opposing side walls (124) configured for manual access for slidable removal of the inner basket (200), wherein the holding basket (100) is configured for stackability or nestability with an adjacent holding basket (100′, 100″).

The invention relates to a package (2; 3) for an object, preferably a medical object, the package comprising a bottom shell (21; 31); a top shell (22; 32) having a closure portion (24; 34) referred to as a “cap”, and a connection portion (23; 33) in the form of a hollow body and connected to the closure portion (24) by a hinge (25) to enable the closure portion (24; 34) to tilt relative to the connection portion (23; 33) in order to release access to the inside of the bottom shell (21; 31) through the connection portion (23; 33). The connection portion (23; 33) is provided with a stiffener element (290; 390) and a sealing strip (4; 4′) connects together the edges (241, 231) of the cap (24; 34) and of the connection portion (23; 33) that face each other over the entire length of said edges. Said connection portion (23; 33) of the top shell (22; 32) and of the bottom shell (21; 31) are two parts that are fastened to each other, preferably by bonding.

The invention relates to a medical assembly, preferably a sterilized one, comprising a medical article (5) and a package containing said article, said package comprising a hollow support element (2) inside which said article (5) is free, a first protective element (3), called a stopper, which can be coupled to the support element (2) of said article, such that the support element (2) has a grip part (20) that protrudes from said stopper (3), and a second hollow protective element (4), called a cover. Said cover can be coupled to the stopper (3) in such a way as to delimit, in cooperation with said stopper (3), a chamber (8) inside which there extends said grip part (20) of the support element, and, in the state when the cover is coupled to the stopper, a part of the stopper (3) protrudes from the cover (4).

Urinary catheter-insertion kits disclosed herein can include a working tray, a storage tray, a urinary catheter, and a drainage system including drainage tubing and a drainage receptacle. The working tray can be configured to nest with the storage tray by suspending the working tray from the storage tray. At least the working tray includes a number of preformed sections configured to hold a number of components of the urinary catheter-insertion kit. At least one section of the preformed sections of the working tray includes a catheter section configured to hold the urinary catheter. The storage tray can be configured to hold the drainage system. Also disclosed herein are methods of urinary catheterization with the urinary catheter-insertion kits.

A method of applying a buttress to a surgically cut and stapled site uses an end effector with a buttress applier cartridge assembly to load one or more buttress assemblies to the end effector. The buttress assemblies each include a buttress to support a staple formed therein as well an adhesive for adhering to the end effector. The adhesive of the buttress assemblies can include a pattern to assist in both attachment to the end effector and release from the end effector after cutting and stapling a tissue site. The buttress applier cartridge can include features that accommodate end effectors having various tip configurations, including straight tips and curved or bent tips.

The present disclosure provides advantageous tray and bracket assembly that is configured and adapted to promote modularity and withstand the harsh environment of central sterile processing processes. Modular bracket assembly may be removed and relocated on tray without additional fasteners or components. Tray and bracket assembly may further provide identification features to correctly associate cataloged reusable medical devices to identified trays.
