Abstract

A package system for a medical device is disclosed. The package system may include a first part and a second part, where a holding platform can be incorporated into the first part of the package system and a collection tray can be incorporated into the second part of the package system. The first part may include leg portions. The leg portions of the first part can be folded and fitted into matching pockets of the second part, so that the first part of the package system can provided a relatively elevated and stable holding platform to hold the medical device. The package system can contain the medical device in the package system in a storage state, and hold the medical device with the holding platform in an application state.

Claims

1. A package system for a medical device, comprising:

a first part including a first leg portion, a middle portion, and a second leg portion; and

a second part,

wherein the first part includes a holding platform configured to receive and hold at least a portion of the medical device in an application state of the medical device, wherein the holding platform is integrated in the middle portion, the holding platform including a holding structure that is contoured to receive the portion of the medical device in the application state, the holding structure including a recess that provides clearance for a portion of the medical device that extends beyond the holding structure in the application state, the holding structure being formed on a side of the first part that faces away from the second part when in a storage state of the medical device,

the second part includes contoured areas at least partially matching a profile of the medical device in the storage state of the medical device, and

the first part and the second part are configured to be assembled together in the application state so that the holding platform is at an elevated position relative to the second part.

2. The package system of claim 1, wherein the first part further includes a first hinge between the first leg portion and the middle portion, and a second hinge between the second leg portion and the middle portion.

3. The package system of claim 1, wherein the first leg portion and the second leg portion are foldable toward an underside of the holding platform.

4. The package system of claim 1, wherein the second part includes one or more pockets, and the one or more pockets are configured to receive the first and second leg portions.

5. The package system of claim 1, wherein the package system is configured to be positioned in an outer shell.

13. The package system of claim 1, wherein when in the application state, the first leg portion and the second leg portion are folded toward an underside of the holding platform and are inserted into one or more pockets of the second part.

6. A medical device package, comprising:

a medical device; and

a package system, wherein the package system includes

a first part including a first leg portion, a middle portion, and a second leg portion; and

a second part,

wherein the first part includes a holding platform configured to receive and hold at least a portion of the medical device in an application state of the medical device, wherein the holding platform is integrated in the middle portion, the holding platform including a holding structure that is contoured to receive the portion of the medical device in the application state, the holding structure including a recess that provides clearance for a portion of the medical device that extends beyond the holding structure in the application state, the holding structure being formed on a side of the first part that faces away from the second part when in a storage state of the medical device, and

the second part includes contoured areas at least partially matching a profile of the medical device in the storage state of the medical device, and

the first part and the second part are configured to be assembled together in the application state so that the holding platform is at an elevated position relative to the second part.

7. The medical device package of claim 6, wherein the medical device is a vessel occlusive device.

8. The medical device package of claim 6, wherein the first part further includes a first hinge between the first leg portion and the middle portion, and a second hinge between the second leg portion and the middle portion.

9. The medical device package of claim 6, wherein the first leg portion and the second leg portion are foldable toward an underside of the holding platform.

10. The medical device package of claim 6, wherein the second part includes one or more pockets, and the one or more pockets are configured to receive the first and second leg portions.

11. The medical device package of claim 7, wherein the medical device includes a part configured as a vent during a liquid filling process of the medical device, and the holding platform is configured to hold the part.

12. The medical device package of claim 6, wherein the package system is configured to be positioned in an outer shell.

14. The medical device package of claim 6, wherein when in the application state, the first leg portion and the second leg portion are folded toward an underside of the holding platform and are inserted into one or more pockets of the second part.
