A guidance device for ultrasonographic guidance of percutaneous placement of an intravascular introducer in a subject adapted for placement against the body of the subject essentially at a desired percutaneous insertion site is disclosed. A directing member is oriented such that the trocar or introducer received in the directing member provides for insertion of the trocar or introducer along a first axis. The guidance device is adapted to receive and releasably hold an ultrasonographic imaging probe such that a first axis of the directing member is positioned in a plane that is essentially perpendicular to and transversely crossing the imaging plane, and the directing member is coupled to the guidance device via an attachment member such that the directing member is configured to be movable only in the plane that is essentially perpendicular to the imaging plane.

The disclosed tamper-evident closure (100) encloses a medical access device (200), such as a vascular access device and includes an actuatable door (127) to create an optional access point (113) for accommodating various arrangements of medical access devices within the tamper-evident closure. The tamper-evident closure comprises a holding cavity (110), an access point into the holding cavity, an actuatable door covering the access point, and a hinge (127c) connecting the actuatable door to the holding cavity.

A rod shape visualisation device (1) is proposed for providing information on the desired shape of a posterior spinal rod during a bending process whilst being arranged in a sterile operation area. The rod shape visualisation device (1) comprises: (a) a sterile case (10) comprising a housing portion (11) including an entrance aperture (12) and a cover (13). sized and shaped to seal the entrance aperture (12). the sterile case (10) further comprising an inner lumen (14) configured to come in contact with non-sterile or sterile objects. and (b) a non-sterile or sterile visualisation template (40) comprising a displaying side providing information on the desired shape of a posterior rod. The rod shape visualisation device (1) defines a first. open state in which the cover (13) is open, and a second. closed state in which the cover (13) is closed. wherein in the closed state. the displaying side of the visualisation template (40) is visibly arranged in the inner lumen (14).

A container for a medical device is provided, the container comprising a lid portion, a base portion, and a joining panel. The lid portion comprises lid inner and outer panels opposing and spaced apart each other, a lid front panel extending between a front edge of the lid inner panel and a front edge of the lid outer panel, and a lid back panel extending from a back edge of the lid inner panel toward a back edge of the lid outer panel. The base portion is pivotably coupled to the lid portion and comprises similarly arranged inner and outer panels, a front panel, and back panels. The joining panel extends between the back edge of the lid outer panel and the back edge of the base outer panel. Also provided herein are methods for preparing said container and dispensing said medical device.
