A packaging system for the storage of an ophthalmic device is disclosed. The packaging system comprises a sealed container containing one or more unused ophthalmic devices immersed in an aqueous packaging solution comprising one or more hydrophilic polymers or copolymers comprising hydrophilic units and endcapped with a hydrophobic end group and a hydrophilic end group, wherein the solution has an osmolality of at least about 200 mOsm/kg, a pH of about 6 to about 9 and is heat sterilized.

Provided, among other things, is a packaged condom comprising: a sealed package; within the package, an polyisoprene condom; and within the package and substantially coating the condom, a lubricant comprising solvent and one or more sensation-providing agents comprising one or more of vanillyl butyl ether, menthyl lactate, and menthol, wherein the solvent comprises non-water soluble silicone oil and 99% or more of the lubricant by weight is the non-water soluble silicone oil.

A container assembly includes a container defining a sealed chamber, a solid state electrolyte disposed in the chamber, and a hydrophobic substance protecting the solid state electrolyte. A method for preparing a solid state electrolyte includes positioning a solid state electrolyte in a chamber of a container, protecting the solid state electrolyte using a hydrophobic substance, and sealing the chamber. A method for extracting a solid state electrolyte includes positioning the container assembly of in a dry atmosphere, unsealing the chamber, and removing the solid state electrolyte from the chamber to the dry atmosphere.

A preservative-free, sterile packaged ophthalmic device product is disclosed. The preservative-free, sterile packaged ophthalmic device product is obtained by (a) adding at least one polyquaternium polymer to an aqueous packaging solution for preventing antimicrobial contamination during storage; (b) packaging the aqueous packaging solution and an ophthalmic device in a manner preventing contamination of the ophthalmic device by one or more microorganisms; and (c) heat sterilizing the aqueous packaging solution and the ophthalmic device, whereby the at least one polyquaternium polymer decomposes during the heat sterilizing to obtain the preservative-free packaged ophthalmic device product.
