Abstract: A catheter torquing device is provided that enables a physician to rotate (e.g., torque) a catheter using a single hand. The provided catheter torquing device includes a catheter holder that can be slid onto a catheter. The catheter holder is adjustable between an engaged state, in which the catheter holder tightly grips the catheter, and a disengaged state, in which the catheter holder releases its grip on the catheter. When the catheter holder is in the engaged state, rotation of at least a portion of the catheter holder also rotates the catheter, whereas when the catheter holder is in the disengaged state, the catheter holder and the catheter can be translated relative to one another. The catheter torquing device further includes a base member that may be positioned directly onto a middle portion of a catheter and coupled to the catheter holder.

Abstract: A package according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises a main body portion defined by a bottom wall and one or more upstanding sidewalls. The sidewalls cooperate to define an open top of the main body portion of the package. A lid is provided and is defined by a top wall and one or more downwardly-depending sidewalls. The lid is sized to fit over the open top of the main body portion of the package. At least one sidewall of the lid is secured to at least one sidewall of the main body portion. At least one sidewall of the lid includes a take-up strip positioned between the top wall and a distal edge of the at least one lid sidewall. The take-up strip permits movement of the lid relative to the main body portion without separating the at least one lid sidewall from the main body portion sidewall to which it is secured.
