Intermittent urinary catheter

A medical device product () comprises a package () defining an interior cavity (). The interior cavity includes a first compartment () and a second compartment () that are separated by a vapor permeable barrier (). A vapor donating liquid () is located in the first compartment, and the vapor donating liquid donates a vapor (). A medical device () and a draw element () are located in the second compartment. The medical device includes at least a portion that is activated by the vapor. The draw element draws the vapor from the first compartment across the barrier and into the second compartment. The vapor activates the portion of the medical device.

Medical device products including draw elements

A sleeved hydrophilic catheter () with a sleeve () containing a hydration liquid. It comprises a catheter tube having a proximal end portion () and a distal end portion (), the catheter tube having a side wall () defining a lumen. A drainage opening () is located in the distal end portion () of the catheter tube and through the side wall () of the catheter tube, the drainage opening () being in communication with a cavity of the sleeve () and the lumen of the catheter tube. A deflection member is associated with the drainage opening ().

Hydration solutions including a liquid and a volatile solute, assemblies containing hydration solutions and methods of making the same.

Hydration solutions containing volatile solutions and medical device products including the same

A medical device product () comprises a package () defining an interior cavity (), an activating liquid located within the interior cavity of the package, and a medical device () located within the interior cavity of the package. At least one portion of the medical device is activated by absorbing an amount of the activating liquid. A liquid-drawing member () is located within the interior cavity of the package. The liquid-drawing member absorbs any excess activating liquid within the cavity that was not absorbed by the at least one portion of the medical device.

Medical device products including liquid-drawing members

Ready to use packaged medical products that include hydrated hydrophilic medical devices and methods of making the same. The packed medical product includes a package defining a cavity with a first compartment and a second compartment separated by a vapor permeable, liquid impermeable barrier. A hydrophilic medical device is contained within the first compartment, and a liquid is contained in the second compartment. The liquid produces a vapor that migrates through the vapor permeable, liquid impermeable barrier into a first compartment. The second compartment has a pressure that is greater than the pressure in the first compartment.
