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.

Catheter tray, packaging system, and associated methods

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. 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 ().

Medical tray

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. Printed instructions () can be included with the tray (). When a CSR wrap () is disposed about the tray (), the printed instructions can be placed atop the CSR wrap () but beneath an outer sterile wrap (). The printed instructions () can include a patient portion () that is detachably coupled to a health care services portion () such that it can be taken home with the patient after the procedure.

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.

Fluid collection system and methods of using same

A specimen container system () includes a lid () and a container (). The lid () has an annular wall () and a central surface (). The central surface () is configured to be conically shaped by tapering from the annular wall () to a point () disposed at an inner portion of the central surface (). The container () and lid () can also include an audible locking system where a cantilevered audible lock projection () extending from the container () engages an audible lock actuation protrusion () extending from the lid () to make a click sound when the lid () is seated on the container ().
