  • Publication number: 20180222655
    Abstract: A packaging assembly for a medical device includes at least one pouch, such as a first pouch and a second pouch, sealed so as to provide a sterile barrier between the environment and the medical device received in the first pouch, which in turn is received in the second pouch. The packaging assembly further includes at least one support member, wherein, in an assembled configuration, at least the first pouch and the support member are secured against movement relative to each other by at least one of the first and second pouches being folded around the support member. The at least one of the first and second pouches is folded around the support member such that at least the first pouch and the support member are secured against movement relative to each other, either before or after inserting the first pouch with the medical device into the second pouch. The support member may hold the packaging assembly within a secondary packaging, which corresponds in size and shape to the packaging assembly.

  • Patent number: 9138296
    Abstract: An housing for a medical device includes an insert configured for removable insertion into the housing, outer dimensions of the insert conforming to inner dimensions of the housing to prevent movement thereof within the housing. The insert includes first and second planar walls connected to one another and having first and second openings extending therethrough. The first and second walls are movable between an open configuration in which the first and second walls are separated from one another and a closed configuration in which the first and second walls are folded to contact one another such that the first and second openings are aligned to define a medical device receiving cavity configured to house a medical device. In the closed configuration, the first and second walls apply a frictional clamping force to a packet containing the medical device to prevent movement of the medical device relative to the inlay.
