Abstract: An intermittent catheter package including a plurality of components and a catheterization tray configured to facilitate a catheterization procedure. The plurality of components include a urinary catheter fluidly connected to a urine-drainage bag and a sampling-port access device configured to fluidly connect to a urine-sampling port of the urinary catheter or the urine-drainage bag for aseptic collection of one or more urine samples. The catheterization tray includes at least a first compartment, a second compartment, and a third compartment configured to hold the plurality of components. The first compartment is configured to hold the urinary catheter. The second compartment is connected to the first compartment by an intercompartment connection. The second compartment is configured to hold the urine-drainage bag. The third compartment is configured to hold the sampling-port access device. Step-by-step instructions are incorporated into the catheterization tray to facilitate the catheterization procedure.

Abstract: An improved medical procedure or catheterization tray included in an improved medical procedure or catheterization package. The improved medical procedure or catheterization tray is intuitively arranged. In one example, a catheterization package and catheterization tray has a layout and/or arrangement of components that may help reduce CAUTI rates by facilitating ease of use and aiding in proper aseptic technique during insertion. The medical procedure or catheterization package and/or medical procedure or catheterization tray may include various implements, compartments, and components necessary and/or helpful to the medical procedure or catheterization.

Abstract: Disclosed is a catheterization package including catheterization-package components and a catheterization tray configured to facilitate a catheterization procedure. The catheterization-package components include a urinary catheter fluidly connected to a urine-drainage bag and a sampling-port access device configured to fluidly connect to a urine-sampling port of the urinary catheter or the urine-drainage bag for aseptic collection of one or more urine samples. The catheterization tray includes at least a first compartment, a second compartment, and a third compartment configured to hold the catheterization-package components. The first compartment is configured to hold the urinary catheter. The second compartment is connected to the first compartment by an intercompartment connection. The second compartment is configured to hold the urine-drainage bag. The third compartment is configured to hold the sampling-port access device.

Abstract: Example fluid impermeable barriers of fluid collection devices and methods of forming a fluid impermeable barrier of a fluid collection device. The fluid impermeable barrier at least partially defines a chamber, an aperture configured to receive a conduit therethrough, and an opening. The fluid permeable body is positioned at least partially within the chamber to extend across at least a portion of the opening and configured to wick fluid away from the opening. The fluid permeable body includes a slot extending longitudinally through the fluid permeable body and configured to at least partially receive a conduit therein.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein are related to assemblies, systems, and methods of using fluid collection assemblies and systems. The assemblies, systems, and methods of using fluid collection assemblies and systems include at least one shape memory material for forming and maintaining the fluid collection assembly into a selected shape. The shape memory material may enable for selective manipulation of the fluid collection assembly to contour to the anatomical features of variously sized patients.

Abstract: External catheters, external catheter-related components, external-catheter kits with step-by-step instructions, and methods thereof providing a standardized system for application and management of such catheters. In one embodiment, an external-catheter kit can include one or more external catheters, a cleansing kit, and step-by-step instructions for using the external-catheter kit. The cleansing kit can include one or more individually wrapped towelettes for at least anatomical cleansing before application of any external catheter of the one or more external catheters. The step-by-step instructions for using the external-catheter kit can include step-by-step instructions for the anatomical cleansing, external-catheter application, and external-catheter management subsequent to the external-catheter application. The one or more external catheters can be selected from male external catheters and female external catheters.
