First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for extracting a medical device from a medical device package, the method comprising:
- providing a medical device package with a medical device contained therein and a connector, the medical device package including;
a body with at least one chamber defined therein, a proximal end, and a distal end; and
at least one frangible deformable projection within the at least one chamber,wherein the at least one frangible deformable projection is configured to deform resiliently upon contact with a medical device during insertion of the medical device at least partially within the chamber and, thereby, removably retain the medical device at least partially within the chamber in a predetermined extractable orientation and position;
inserting at least a portion of a connector into the chamber;
engaging the medical device with the connector such that the frangible deformable projection is broken; and
extracting the engaged medical device from the chamber of the medical device package with the connector.

Abstract
A medical device package includes a body with at least one chamber therein, a proximal end and a distal end. The medical device package also includes at least one deformable projection within the chamber(s). Furthermore, the deformable projection is configured to deform resiliently upon contact with a medical device during insertion of the medical device into the chamber and, thereby, removably retain the medical device within the chamber.
