  • Publication number: 20230404849
    Abstract: A tray (100) for accommodating a coiled medical device, such as a catheter assembly (700), includes a first compartment (101), a second compartment (102), and a third compartment (103). The catheter assembly (700) and devices associated with a catheterization procedure, such as syringes (701,702) containing sterile water and lubricating jelly and a specimen container (703) can be disposed within the tray. A first barrier (105) and second barrier (106) separate the compartments. The barriers can have openings (121,122) therein to accommodate large syringes or to enable the first compartment (101) to be used as a lubricant applicator for the catheter. The first compartment (101) can include a stair-stepped contour (115) such that the syringes are held at different depths to facilitate ease of use. The various devices can be disposed within the tray (100) in accordance with their order of use in the catheterization procedure.

  • Patent number: 9421149
    Abstract: According to one aspect, a fluid collection bag comprises an inlet opening adapted to receive an inlet tube located on a first side of the fluid collection bag. The fluid collection bag has a length greater than the height. The first side of the fluid collection bag is generally parallel with a length of the fluid collection bag. The fluid collection bag further comprises an outlet opening located on a second side of the fluid collection bag. The fluid collection bag may be reversible such that a first surface or a second opposing surface of the fluid collection bag may face a support element.

  • Publication number: 20160114501
    Abstract: A blank non-adhesive label stock roll containing a continuous blank non-adhesive label sheet is printed as it is being unrolled to provide a multiplicity of pre-printed labels thereon. As the label sheet is being unrolled, each of the printed labels is partially cut along a peripheral edge thereof to leave a plurality of spaced apart uncut ties joining points along the peripheral edge to a scrim area of the label sheet to thereby maintain removable attachment of each of the pre-printed labels to the scrim area. Following printing and partial cutting of the labels, the label sheet is rerolled to form a pre-printed and pre-cut label stock roll, which is then controllably unrolled to permit selective removal of the pre-printed and pre-cut labels by an apparatus that conveys them for use in an external molding process.
