Abstract: A hybrid mounting card is disclosed that includes one or more receptacles form fit for respective portions of a medical device in order to receive and secure the respective portions of the medical device therein and a mounting card adapted to receive and secure the one or more receptacles. The one or more receptacles are configured on the mounting card to secure the medical device to the mounting card in a defined configuration. The use of the receptacles increases the types of medical devices that can be secured to mounting cards. The use of mounting cards enables medical devices to be stored in sterile barrier packaging systems that do not require custom thermoforming of an entire medical tray, such as medical pouches and standard blank medical trays.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a hybrid mounting card is disclosed that includes one or more receptacles adapted to receive a portion of a medical device and secure the portion of the medical device therein and a mounting card adapted to receive and secure the one or more receptacles. The one or more receptacles are configured on the mounting card to secure the medical device to the mounting card in a defined configuration. The use of the receptacles increases the types of medical devices that can be secured to mounting cards. The use of mounting cards enables medical devices to be stored in sterile barrier packaging systems that do not require custom thermoforming of an entire medical tray, such as medical pouches and standard blank medical trays. Other embodiments are disclosed herein.

Abstract: A pouch for sterilized materials is formed from two webs positioned face-to-face attached around portions of their edges by heat fusion, thereby forming a pouch having an interior cavity and a mouth being an unsealed portion of the webs along a top edge. An interior boundary line along the inside of the seal area has a wavy configuration which includes a series of inward-facing peaks and valleys. Thus, when the cross-seal is applied to close the pouch, the overlap of the seal areas along the interior boundary is along a wavy line and therefore microbial contamination is inhibited by this tortuous path. A similar tortuous path for preventing microbial contamination is provided in the type of the pouch having a breather panel by cutting a wavy configuration into the side edge of the breather panel web before it is spliced and fused to the other pouch webs.
