Aspects of the disclosure relate to “wet” transcatheter prosthetic heart valve or other implant packaging and assemblies in which a prosthetic heart valve or other implant is loaded into a first portion of a delivery device and positioned within a container in which sterilizing fluid is retained to sterilize interior portions of the container as well as provide moisture to prevent the implant from drying out. The disclosure also relates to methods of sterilizing the disclosed assemblies. Some disclosed methods include at least two sterilizing steps and adjustment of a mechanical seal member or formation of multiple seals so that areas proximate the seals are also sterilized during the sterilization process.

The present disclosure relates to child resistant containers and methods of making same for products made or derived from tobacco, or that otherwise incorporate tobacco, and are intended for human consumption.

An aligner case includes a body having a floor and a sidewall and an inner cavity, the body having at least one inlet in at least one of the floor and the sidewall, and the body having at least one outlet in at least one of the floor and the sidewall, at least one door coupleable to the sidewall and transitionable between an open condition where the inner cavity is revealed, and a closed condition where the inner cavity is covered, and an actuator configured to allow transitioning of the at least one door between the open condition and the closed condition.

The present disclosure relates an improved container useful for maintaining the freshness of a moisture-sensitive, consumable product stored within the container. The present container is also designed to enable the consumer to access and sample the aroma of the product within the container without needing to completely open the container, thereby maintaining the quality of the product, and avoiding potential contamination. The present container utilizes a preserving product, such as a desiccant or humectant, which is positioned within a separate compartment apart from the product within the container. The desiccant removes moisture from the product and helps to maintain the freshness of the product while stored within the container.
