A package for a medical device such as an intermittent catheter has a case with open and closed ends. A hinge connects a cap to the case to permit movement of the cap between open and closed positions. A seal connected to one of the cap and case is engageable with the other to maintain a sterile environment inside the package. The seal can be repeatedly made and broken whenever the user closes or opens the cap. The case includes a pair of slots at the open end. A pair of latches is formed in the cap. The latches fit into the slots to prevent lateral forces from distorting the cap when the cap is closed. A first use indication label spans a depression in the outer contour of a closed cap and case, assuring visual confirmation of breach of the label upon first opening of the cap.

A vial can include a container having a sidewall, a bottom, and a top, which may include a vial opening. The vial can include a lid that attaches to the top and that seals the opening. The vial can include a first dispenser insert that attaches proximate to the top. The vial can include an inner lining along an interior face of the sidewall. The inner lining can include a desiccant material.

A household thin paper storage container includes a container body that stores household thin paper inside and has an outlet through which the household thin paper can be taken out, an open/close lid that is pivotably provided to the container body and closes the outlet, and a biasing member that biases the open/close lid in an opening direction. The container body includes a latch that latches the open/close lid in a closed state and that opens the open/close lid in response to being unlatched. The container body or the open/close lid has a fixing portion that fixes the biasing member to the container body or the open/close lid. The biasing member is formed of a thermosetting resin material. The fixing portion is formed as a part of the container body or the open/close lid, and the biasing member is fixed to the fixing portion.

A package for a medical device such as an intermittent catheter has a case which is closed at one end and open at the other end. A cap is connected to the case by a hinge to permit selectable movement of the cap between an open position, wherein access is provided to the open end of the case, and a closed position, wherein the cap prevents access to the open end of the case. A seal is connected to one of the cap and case. The seal is engageable with the other of the cap and case when the cap is closed to form a barrier that maintains a sterile environment inside the package. The seal can be repeatedly made and broken whenever the user closes or opens the cap, respectively. The case includes a pair of slots at the open end. A pair of latches are formed in the cap. The latches fit into the slots to prevent lateral forces from distorting the cap when the cap is closed.

A moisture tight container (100, 300) includes a container body (101, 301) and a lid (101, 120, 320) preferably linked to the body (101, 301) by a hinge (140, 340). The body (101, 301) and lid (101, 120, 320) include at least a first seal (462) and a second seal (464) in series to provide a moisture tight seal (460) between the body (101, 301) and the lid (101, 120, 320). The first seal (462) includes mating of thermoplastic-to-thermoplastic sealing surfaces of the body (101, 301) and lid (101, 120, 320) respectively. The second seal (464) includes mating of thermoplastic-to-elastomeric sealing surfaces of the body (101, 301) and lid (101, 120, 320), respectively, or of the lid (101, 120, 320) and body (101, 301), respectively.

A package having a container and a selectively openable lid to selectively allow access to the container is disclosed.

The present invention relates to a packaging unit from a moulded pulp material and a manufacturing method therefor. The packaging unit comprises: a bottom part with product receiving compartments and a number of cones that are provided between the compartments, and the bottom part comprising a bottom surface, two side surfaces, a back surface, a front surface, and a closing flap; a cover part comprising a top surface, two side surfaces, a back surface and a front surface; a hinge configured for hingedly connecting the bottom part with the cover part; a lock configured for locking the cover part to the bottom part, with the lock comprising a one or more locking, openings and one or more corresponding locking cams, wherein the one or more locking openings and locking cams are provided adjacent or at a transition region between the front surface and the top surface of the cover part in a closed position of the packaging unit,
wherein the bottom part comprises a support member that is configured for engaging the cover part, and
wherein the one or more locking openings comprise and/or are circumvented by a backwards curved upper edge that is at least partially positioned in the transition region, and an inwards inclined lower edge having a length of at least 2.5 mm and extending over an inward distance of at least 1.8 mm.

A packaging element (2, 3) has two shells (21, 22, 31, 32), each shell having a margin (210, 220) defining an access opening giving access to the inside of the shell, said packaging element (2, 3) having at least a “closed” configuration in which the shells form a chamber that is substantially closed and that is suitable for receiving an article, such as a medical implant. The packaging element (2, 3) further has a sealing strip (4) that extends, outside the shells (21, 22, 31, 32), over the entire length of the margins (210, 220) of the shells of the packaging element, and from one margin (210, 220) of the shell to the other margin (220, 210) of the shell in such a manner as to seal the chamber defined by the two shells. An assembly has two packaging elements received one inside the other, with a corresponding sealing method.

Insulation container for the temperature-controlled transport of pharmaceutical products, comprising an outer container with an outer container base and an outer container wall, which are connected to one another in such a way as to form a receiving space open on one side, and wherein the insulation container comprises a lid which is designed to completely cover the receiving space by placing the lid on the outer container, and wherein the insulation container furthermore has a receiving space comprises inserted compartment which separates the receiving space into separate compartments.

A locking apparatus has a receiving component that includes outer sidewalls extending upward from a first surface to form a raised portion, the raised portion having a receiving surface within a periphery defined by the outer sidewalls, and inner sidewalls extending downward from the receiving surface to form a cavity within the raised portion, the cavity having a cross-sectional area that decreases in proportion to the downward extension of the inner sidewalls, and a first locking structure. The locking apparatus also has an insertion component that includes sidewalls extending upward from a second surface and defining a cross-sectional area that decreases in proportion to the upward extension of the sidewalls, and also includes a second locking structure that is operatively associated with the first locking structure so that when the insertion component is inserted into the receiving component the first locking structure and the second locking structure interlock.
