Abstract: Packaging such as a blister pack is provided for at least one element such as a catheter having a thin, elongated portion. The packaging comprises at least two elongated, flexible sheets adhered to each other, which form between them a space for receiving the element such as the catheter. By this invention, the space is formed by a pressed-out or outwardly projecting portion generally corresponding to the shape of the element in at least one of the sheets. The sheet, in the part of the pressed-out portion corresponds with the thin, elongated portion of the element, has an at least partly corrugated profile. Also, the catheter packaged herein may have a distal end curved in a predetermined shape, in which the part of the pressed-out portion corresponding with the curved distal catheter end is locked within the pressed-out portion, to prevent distortion of the catheter tip out of the particular shape.
