Catheter tray, packaging system, and associated methods
First Claim
1. A tray configured to accommodate a catheter assembly, the tray comprising:
- a contoured surface defining at least three compartments separated by barriers and a perimeter wall, the at least three compartments comprising;
a first compartment comprising a first compartment base member;
a second compartment comprising a second compartment base member;
a first barrier separating the first compartment from the second compartment;
a third compartment comprising a third compartment base member; and
a second barrier separating the second compartment from the third compartment; and
a first syringe disposed within the first compartment of the tray;
a second syringe disposed within the first compartment of the tray; and
a catheter assembly comprising a fluid bag disposed within the second compartment of the tray;
wherein;
the first syringe and the second are ordered within the tray in accordance with their use during a catheterization procedure;
the first compartment supports the first syringe and the second syringe at different heights;
the first compartment defines one or more contours for accommodating flanges of one or more of the first syringe or the second syringe.

Abstract
A tray (100) for accommodating a coiled medical device, such as a catheter assembly (700), includes a first compartment (101), a second compartment (102), and a third compartment (103). The catheter assembly (700) and devices associated with a catheterization procedure, such as syringes (701,702) containing sterile water and lubricating jelly and a specimen container (703) can be disposed within the tray. A first barrier (105) and second barrier (106) separate the compartments. The barriers can have openings (121,122) therein to accommodate large syringes or to enable the first compartment (101) to be used as a lubricant applicator for the catheter. The first compartment (101) can include a stair-stepped contour (115) such that the syringes are held at different depths to facilitate ease of use. The various devices can be disposed within the tray (100) in accordance with their order of use in the catheterization procedure.

12. A catheter packaging system, comprising:
-
a tray having a first compartment for accommodating one or more syringes and a second compartment for accommodating a coiled medical device, the first compartment comprising a first compartment base member and the second compartment comprising a second compartment base member, the barrier separating the first compartment from the second compartment; a first syringe and a second syringe disposed in the first compartment; and a catheter assembly disposed in the second compartment; the first compartment to support the first syringe at a shallower depth within the tray than the second syringe; and the first compartment defining a mnemonic device indicating which of the first syringe or the second syringe should be used first in the catheterization procedure. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
