Catheter Tray, Packaging System, and Associated Methods
First Claim
1. A tray configured to accommodate a catheter assembly and medical devices corresponding to catheter use, 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 having at least one stair-stepped contour;
a second compartment comprising a second base member;
a first barrier separating the first compartment from the second compartment, wherein the first barrier defines a first opening between the first compartment and the second compartment, the first opening having a first opening depth;
a third compartment comprising a third base member; and
a second barrier separating the second compartment from the third compartment, wherein the second barrier defines a second opening between the second compartment and the third compartment, the second opening having a second opening depth.

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.
