A dry packaging in which a prosthetic heart valve is packaged within a container with hydrogel that can be provided in many forms. Certain embodiments include hydrogel that is preloaded with glycerol or the like. The hydrogel regulates the humidity within the container through a diffusion-driven mechanism if a gradient of humidity between the inside and the outside of the hydrogel exists. Humidity regulation is important to prevent the tissue of the valve structure from drying out. When the partially-hydrated hydrogel is present within container, which is saturated with air of a predefined humidity, the water molecules from the air will be absorbed by the hydrogel if the air humidity is high (i.e. when the thermodynamics favor hydrogel hydration) or vice versa. Various embodiments are configured to also house at least a portion of a delivery device for delivering the prosthetic heart valve.

A packaging unit (100) includes an outer container (104) and an inner container (102) disposed inside the outer container. The outer container has a bottom portion (150) and a sidewall (152) extending upwardly from the bottom portion around a longitudinal axis (154). The sidewall has an upper edge (160) defining an access opening (162) to the container. Further, the inner container includes a bottom section (130) having a plurality of openings (140) that facilitate an egress of liquid from the inner container. Furthermore, the bottom portion is adapted to be displaced between a first position and a second position. Also, the inner container moves upwardly towards the access opening in response to a displacement of the bottom portion from the first position to the second position.

A lid and sleeve system that creates a zero maintenance humidity controlled, protective environment within a cigar tube is disclosed. This invention incorporates two-way humidity control technology while adding superior protection as well as optimal air circulation in an optionally transparent tube, designed for but not limited to the disposable retail packaging of a cigar.

Packaging materials are configured such that when sealed to define an interior volume of a package the packaging material has an inner surface facing the interior volume and an outer surface facing away from the interior volume. Between the inner surface and the outer surface, the packagings contain moisture controlling material. The permeability of moisture from the outer surface to the moisture controlling material is less than the permeability of moisture from the inner surface to the moisture controlling material to provide selective moisture transfer between the moisture controlling material and the interior volume of a sealed package formed, at least in part, from the packaging material. The nature of the packaging material and the moisture controlling material can be tuned to control the relative humidity within the sealed inner volume.

The present disclosure provides a contact lens package containing a contact lens in a compressed state. In one exemplary embodiment, the overall internal depth of the package is less than the natural sagittal depth of the contact lens. Different single-use contact lens package shapes and configurations may be used. In some embodiments, a spring disc is included in the packages to help present the contact lens to the user when the package is opened. The contact lens packages may be adhered or clipped to a card or other carrier sheet, and may be housed in a number of different secondary packages.
