Abstract: A medical device package (10) includes a case (12) containing a hydration medium (16), a medical device (14), and an aroma compound (18) §. The aroma compound is configured to transition from a liquid phase to a vapor phase and may be released from the case in the vapor phase. The aroma compound in the vapor phase is stored in a headspace of the case. A method of making the medical device package includes adding the aroma compound, the hydration medium and the medical device to the case, closing the case and exposing the case to an electron beam. The method may further include transitioning the aroma compound from a liquid phase to a vapor phase.

Abstract: Methods of making sleeved hydrophilic urinary catheters (10).

Abstract: A sleeved hydrophilic catheter (10) with a sleeve (22) containing a hydration liquid. It comprises a catheter tube having a proximal end portion (14) and a distal end portion (16), the catheter tube having a side wall (19) defining a lumen. A drainage opening (17) is located in the distal end portion (16) of the catheter tube and through the side wall (19) of the catheter tube, the drainage opening (17) being in communication with a cavity of the sleeve (22) and the lumen of the catheter tube. A deflection member is associated with the drainage opening (17).
