A method for pre-wetting a polypropylene (PP) filter for filtering slurry and a PP filter package are provided. The method for pre-wetting the PP filter for filter slurry consists of steps of: pre-wetting a PP filtering media of the PP filter and packaging the pre-wetted PP filter in a packaging member sealingly. A PP filter package includes a cartridge, a PP filtering media and a packaging member. The PP filtering media is disposed in the cartridge to form a PP filter. The PP filtering media is pre-wetted, and the PP filter is sealingly packaged in the packaging member.

A hazardous drug deactivation wipe kit includes a first pouch having a one-way valve coupled to an end thereof, a second pouch, and a third pouch. The first pouch contains a wipe saturated in a hypochlorite solution, the second pouch contains a wipe saturated in thiosulfate solution, and the third pouch contains a wipe saturated in isopropyl alcohol solution. The deactivation wipe kit may be used in a clean room to deactivate most hazardous drugs on a work surface.

A ready to use catheter assembly comprises a catheter package with an opening, a catheter with a shaft arranged in the catheter package so a distal end of the catheter lies in the region of the opening, and a protective sleeve which partly covers the catheter shaft, a first end of the protective sleeve fixed to the distal end of the catheter. A method for producing a ready to use catheter assembly and a ready to use catheter assembly which further reduces the risk of an accidental contamination of a catheter when pulling it out of the catheter package prior to the insertion into the urethra of a user are provided. The opening has a defined maximum opening length, a second end of the protective sleeve is releasably connected which the catheter package near the maximum opening length of the opening and the protective sleeve is in a retracted state.

A container with a terracotta lid includes a container having a attached to the container and movable between an open position allowing access to the container interior space and a closed position enclosing the container interior space, with a lid opening arranged to allow air to travel from the container interior space through the lid opening when the lid is in the closed position. An access panel allows access to the container interior space through the lid opening. A moisture-retaining insert such as a terracotta material is removably retained between the lid and the access panel when the access panel is in the closed position.

A catheter assembly includes a catheter, a fluid containing sleeve, and a container. The catheter may include a tubular portion between a proximal end and a distal end, a coating on a length of the tubular portion, and at least one drainage opening on the distal end. The fluid containing sleeve is designed for arrangement on the tubular portion to maintain the coating in a hydrated state. The container may have at least one foil inner layer containing therein the catheter and the fluid containing sleeve. Substantially or nearly all fluid contained in the container may be disposed in the fluid containing sleeve.

The packages described by this invention all have reduced “head space,” that is, the distance from lid to lens. Packages contain dimples to achieve this reduced head space. Specifically, packages are designed with dimple sag equal to or less than 1.90-mm, or volume displaced equal to or less than 360 μl. Combined with the existing primary packaging, it has been found that such conditions provide for reduction in folded lens rate during shipping and handling. As well, lenses stored or having an extended time in low head space packages in a “foil down” orientation now have characteristics closer lenses stored in a “foil up orientation.”
