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

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

According to one aspect, a fluid collection bag comprises an inlet opening adapted to receive an inlet tube located on a first side of the fluid collection bag. The fluid collection bag has a length greater than the height. The first side of the fluid collection bag is generally parallel with a length of the fluid collection bag. The fluid collection bag further comprises an outlet opening located on a second side of the fluid collection bag. The fluid collection bag may be reversible such that a first surface or a second opposing surface of the fluid collection bag may face a support element.

A covered yankauer suction device is protectable from contamination after use. The covered yankauer suction device includes a yankauer having a suction tip at a first end and a connector at a second end. A retractable sleeve partially encloses the yankauer. One end of the retractable sleeve is secured to the yankauer while the opposite end of the retractable sleeve is secured to a valve. The valve includes a cross-cut that enables the valve to open when the suction tip of the yankauer pushes against the underside of the cross-cut.
