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. Printed instructions (1001) can be included with the tray (100). One or more layers of wrap material (2200) can be folded about the tray (100) to enclose the tray (100) and other items, such as an additional layer of wrap material (2701), packaged liquid hand sanitizer (2401), and packaged gloves (2402). When a health care services provider (3101) unfolds the wrap material, the same can be used to create a sterile field beneath a patient (3201).

Claims

1. A medical procedure kit, comprising:

a single layer tray having a first compartment for receiving syringes and a second compartment for receiving a medical assembly;

a first syringe and a second syringe disposed within the first compartment;

the medical assembly disposed in the second compartment, wherein the medical assembly comprises a coiled tubing coupled between a fluid drain bag and a Foley catheter; and

an outer packaging disposed about the single layer tray and a fenestrated drape disposed within the outer packaging;

wherein;

one of the first syringe or the second syringe contains lubricating jelly;

another of the first syringe or the second syringe contains water;

the first syringe and the second syringe are ordered within the single layer tray in accordance with their use during a catheterization procedure;

the first compartment supports the first syringe and the second syringe at different heights; and

the first compartment defines one or more contours for accommodating flanges of one or more of the first syringe or the second syringe.

2. The medical procedure kit of claim 1, the first compartment defining a lubricating jelly application compartment.

3. The medical procedure kit of claim 2, the lubricating jelly application compartment configured to receive lubricating jelly from the one of the first syringe or the second syringe to lubricate at least some of the Foley catheter when the Foley catheter is passed into the first compartment.

4. The medical procedure kit of claim 1, wherein the water is sterile.

5. The medical procedure kit of claim 1, further comprising a specimen jar disposed within the single layer tray.

6. The medical procedure kit of claim 1, further comprising printed instructions for using the single layer tray.

7. The medical procedure kit of claim 6, the printed instructions configured to instruct application of lubricating jelly to the Foley catheter using the first compartment.

8. The medical procedure kit of claim 1, further comprising a Foley catheter securement device disposed within the single layer tray.

9. The medical procedure kit of claim 8, further comprising one or more swabsticks disposed within the single layer tray.

10. The medical procedure kit of claim 8, further comprising an underbuttocks drape disposed within the outer packaging.

11. The medical procedure kit of claim 1, further comprising gloves.

12. The medical procedure kit of claim 1, further comprising hand sanitizer.

13. The medical procedure kit of claim 1, further comprising a diagram of contents of the medical procedure kit.

14. A medical procedure kit, comprising:

a surface defining a single layer tray having a first compartment separated by a barrier from a second compartment, the second compartment configured for receiving a medical assembly comprising a Foley catheter, a coiled tubing, and a fluid drain bag;

a first syringe and a second syringe disposed within the first compartment; and

the medical assembly disposed in the second compartment;

wherein;

one of the first syringe or the second syringe contains lubricating jelly;

another of the first syringe or the second syringe contains water;

the first syringe and the second syringe are ordered within the single layer tray in accordance with their use during a catheterization procedure;

the first compartment supports the first syringe and the second syringe at different heights; and

the first compartment defines one or more contours for accommodating flanges of one or more of the first syringe or the second syringe.

15. The medical procedure kit of claim 14, further comprising an outer packaging disposed about the single layer tray.

16. The medical procedure kit of claim 14, the first compartment defining a lubricating jelly application compartment.

17. The medical procedure kit of claim 16, further comprising a Foley catheter securement device.

18. The medical procedure kit of claim 17, further comprising one or more swabsticks.

19. The medical procedure kit of claim 18, further comprising a specimen jar.

20. The medical procedure kit of claim 19, further comprising an outer packaging disposed about the single layer tray.
