Abstract: A package assembly including a sheath, a pouch, and an outer enclosure. The sheath includes perforations that extend across the sheath along an orientation that is transverse to an elongate dimension of the sheath. The sheath is configured to receive and enclose an implant or a surgical instrument. The pouch has an inner volume that receives the sheath, the inner volume of the pouch being configured to be vacuum sealed. The outer enclosure is designed to receive the pouch. The sheath is made of a material with greater rigidity than the pouch.

Abstract: A packaging arrangement for a medical device includes at least one device recess configured to receive the medical device. A loading is basin configured to receive a liquid that can manipulate the medical device housed in the at least one device recess or to be connected to the medical device housed in the at least one device recess. A spillway basin is connected to the loading basin via a spillway passage having a spillway passage inflow and a spillway passage outflow. The spillway passage includes a downward slope from the spillway passage inflow to the spillway passage outflow configured to promote a liquid flow to the spillway passage outflow.

Abstract: A detachable connecting element for a packaging arrangement includes a first connecting element part and a second connecting element part configured for relative movement with respect to each other around a connecting element axis (R) by a rotational or helical movement to transfer the detachable connecting element from a linking state to a non-linking state. The second connecting element part includes at least one protrusion. The first connecting element part includes at least one recess configured to incorporate the at least one protrusion. The at least one protrusion includes at least one curved protrusion sidewall. The at least one recess includes at least one curved recess sidewall. The at least one curved protrusion sidewall or the at least one curved recess sidewall includes a slope.

Abstract: A connector for connecting a medical implant to a delivery catheter includes a proximal portion and a distal portion connected to the proximal portion via a central portion. The proximal, distal and central portions extend along a central axis (A). A distal end of the distal portion facing away from the central portion. At least one recess is formed in the central portion and in the distal portion. The at least one recess is configured to receive a connecting element of the medical implant configured to connect the medical implant to the connector. The distal portion tapers towards the distal end. The distal portion can include a conical section, and an outer surface of the conical section includes a generatrix that encloses an acute angle (?) with the central axis (A), with the acute angle (?) in the range of between 20° and 60°.
