Patent number: 9023013Abstract: A urinary catheter kit is provided. The catheter kit includes a catheter with a flared end and a package provided with interior protrusions for cooperating with the flared end of the catheter. The largest outer diameter of the flared end of the catheter is slightly larger than the smallest diameter of the package at the protrusions. Thereby, the protrusions will function as a backstop for the catheter. The rigidity of the catheter at the flared end is selected so that—depending on the angle of the flared end—the flared end will be able to flip over if it is subjected to a force over a predetermined level. Thereby the catheter will be able to be entered back into the package.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2010Date of Patent: May 5, 2015Assignee: Coloplast A/SInventors: Lars Olav Schertiger, Kim Becker

Publication number: 20120289942Abstract: An assembly (100) for wetting a medical device (101) is provided. The assembly has a package (110) for a medical device (such as a catheter) and a compartment (155) for a fluid medium (such as a saline solution containing an antimicrobial agent). This assembly includes a device (160) for removing covering parts of a barrier-film The covering parts (171,172) of the barrier film are used to cover the inlet (130) to the package and the outlet (149) from the compartment prior to use. The barrier-film (170) also includes a pulling part (373,573) which is used for pulling at the covering parts. The film-removal device uses different mechanisms to remove the film For example a toothing mechanism (163,164), a swivel arm (361), a wedge-mechanism (561) and a screw-and-spindle mechanism (761) can be used.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 20, 2009Publication date: November 15, 2012Applicant: COLOPLAST A/SInventors: Kim Becker, Jesper Mads Bartroff Frederiksen, Bent Ekfeldt, Kaspar Matthison-Hansen

Publication number: 20110120892Abstract: An assembly (100) for wetting a medical device (101) is provided. The assembly (100) comprises a compartment (120) for the fluid medium and a package (110) for a medical device (101). The fluid medium in the compartment (120) may be used for wetting a hydrophilic coating disposed at an outer surface of the medical device (101. The compartment (120) comprises an outlet (140) and the package (110) comprises an inlet (130) for the fluid medium. Prior to use, when the assembly (100) is in a storage-position, a gap between the outlet (140) and inlet (130) may be present. The outlet (140) and inlet (130) may both be closed by a barrier film (160) preventing contamination of the outlet (140) and inlet (130) prior to use. When the assembly (100) is to be used, the barrier film (160) is removed thereby opening the outlet (140) and inlet (130). The removal of the barrier film (160) may be connected to the opening of the package (110) such that the package (110) is opened as the barrier film (160) is removed.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 15, 2009Publication date: May 26, 2011Applicant: COLOPLAST A/SInventors: Jesper Mads Bartroff Frederiksen, Kim Becker, Kaspar Matthison-Hansen, Lars Olav Schertiger

Publication number: 20100258568Abstract: An assembly for wetting a medical device is provided. The assembly comprises a compartment for a fluid medium and a package for the medical device. The compartment and the package are separate elements, which are joined together. An outlet from the compartment is movable so as to be able to connect to an entrance to the package and hereby establish communication for the fluid. This way the medical device may be wetted. The fluid medium may contain an anti-microbial agent such as hydrogen peroxide. The medical device may be a urinary catheter. A method for manufacturing such an assembly and a method of using it is also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 1, 2008Publication date: October 14, 2010Applicant: COLOPLAST A/SInventors: Jesper Mads Frederiksen, Anna Granath, Henrik Jeppesen, Kim Becker, Lars Olav Schertiger, Klaus Sommer Ipsen
