A medical packaging device, packaging system, method for producing a packaging device, and method for sterile packaging of a sieve basket with a packaging device. The packaging device defines a receiving space for accommodating a sieve basket in a packaging position, and an insertion opening for inserting a sieve basket into the receiving space. The insertion opening is open in an insertion position. The packaging device is made from a flat material sheet that is folded multiple times. The receiving space has two abutting receiving space flat material sheet surface regions. The regions are delimited by at least three fold lines of the flat material sheet such that the receiving space is closed on all sides except for the insertion opening. The packaging device includes an unfolding securing device for securing the packaging device in the insertion position against being completely unfolded back into the starting position.

A wrap assembly for a urinary catheterization procedure includes a foldable wrap body, a first plurality of urinary catheterization components and a second plurality of urinary catheterization components. The foldable wrap body can be formed of a fabric and can include a first sterile component placement area and a second sterile component placement area positioned under the first sterile component placement area. The first plurality of urinary catheterization components can be placed onto the fabric of the first sterile component placement area in a first order of use for the urinary catheterization procedure. The second plurality of urinary catheterization components can be placed onto the fabric of the second sterile component placement area in a second order of use for the urinary catheterization procedure.

A body-wearable medical device has first and second housing portions. The first housing portion has a female portion and the second housing portion has a male portion. The male portion is at least partially inserted into the female portion, thereby defining a circumferential clearance gap. A circumferential sealing element is arranged in the circumferential clearance gap between the female portion and the male portion. In order to provide a body-wearable medical device with improved sealing that is less prone to failure by stress and forces exerted on the body-wearable medical device, the female portion and the male portion are fixed to each other by a circumferential fixation glue arranged in the circumferential clearance gap between the female portion and the male portion next to the circumferential sealing element.

A device (2) for the transportation and temporary storage of a medical instrument such as an endoscope (4) comprises: an instrument bag (6) formed of a plastics material substantially impermeable to bodily fluids, the bag having an opening (8) for receiving the instrument; an inner label (10) which has a first portion (12) adhered to an external surface of the bag adjacent to the opening (8) and has a second portion (14) which is disposed beyond the opening 98) and which has a lower surface which is adhesive and covered by a removable backing and an outer label (16) which overlies the inner label (10) and which has a first portion (18) which has a lower surface adhered to at least one of an external surface of the bag (6) and an upper surface of the inner label (10), and a second portion (20) which is disposed beyond the opening (8) and which has a lower surface at least part of which is adhesive and covered by a removable backing (24).

A pouch is formed from one or more webs of material that provide at least one absorbent surface. The pouch further includes an integral flap, which may be folded over the opening, or entrance, of the pouch so as to maintain the contents of the pouch in place and to help retain moisture within the pouch. The interior of the pouch is defined, at least partially, by its absorbent faces.

A surgical-implement count and capture system including a carrier tape having a plurality of spaced-apart receiving areas disposed longitudinally along the carrier tape. Each of the plurality of spaced-apart receiving areas being configured to receive a surgical-implement. The carrier tape is configured to follow a first pathway. A deposit station is located along the first pathway and is adapted to accommodate deposition of a plurality of the surgical-implements respectively into successive ones of the spaced-apart receiving areas when resident at the deposit station. A counting station is located along the first pathway downstream of the deposit station. The counting station includes a sensor adapted to detect the plurality of the surgical-implements in the respective receiving areas.

In a cover for covering a part of an oral instrument, a cover member is formed in a bag shape having an opening formed by partially bonding a measurement surface side sheet and an upper side sheet disposed to face each other. A protective sheet is bonded to the measurement surface side sheet of the cover member. The protective sheet protrudes from an opening edge of the cover member when viewed in a thickness direction of the cover member. Further, a bonded portion where the protective sheet and the cover member are bonded to each other is disposed along the opening edge of the cover member.

A sterilization pouch that includes a perimeter, a first end, a second end, a length extending from the first end to the second end, a first side, a second side, a width extending from the first side to the second side, a first layer, a second layer bonded to the first layer along a portion of the perimeter to define a pouch having an opening and an interior space for receiving an article therein, a first interior sterilization indicator that changes from a first color state to a second color state when exposed to a sterilization condition, the first interior sterilization indicator being disposed between the first layer and the second layer, being disposed along a major portion of the length of the pouch, being disposed along a major portion of the width of the pouch, or being disposed along both a major portion of the length of the pouch and along a major portion of the width of the pouch, the sterilization indicator being visible through the first layer.

A liner associated with an adhesive skin patch of a physiological characteristic sensor includes a first end opposite a second end. The liner includes a first side opposite a second side. The liner includes a surface to couple to the adhesive skin patch, at least a portion of which extends from the first end to the second end. The liner includes at least one graspable member defined between the first side and the second side that extends beyond the first end or the second end to initiate a peel of the liner from the adhesive patch at a center of the liner.

A method for housing a reusable portion of an oximeter device in a sheath includes providing the oximeter device as a probe unit and a laparoscopic tube separated from each other. The probe unit is handled by a first operator in a nonsterile environment and the laparoscopic tube is handled by a second operator in a sterile environment. The first operator connects the probe unit and the laparoscopic tube to form the oximeter device. The sheath is coupled to the laparoscopic tube in a folded configuration and is pulled by the second operator to enclose the probe unit. The oximeter device is in the sterile environment when the probe unit is in the sheath. The oximeter device is for use in an intraoperative procedure and the sheath inhibits the probe unit from contacting contaminants so that the probe unit is reusable, whereas the laparoscopic tube can be disposed of.
