Hybrid mounting cards utilized in sterile barrier packing systems
A hybrid mounting card is disclosed that includes one or more receptacles form fit for respective portions of a medical device in order to receive and secure the respective portions of the medical device therein and a mounting card adapted to receive and secure the one or more receptacles. The one or more receptacles are configured on the mounting card to secure the medical device to the mounting card in a defined configuration. The use of the receptacles increases the types of medical devices that can be secured to mounting cards. The use of mounting cards enables medical devices to be stored in sterile barrier packaging systems that do not require custom thermoforming of an entire medical tray, such as medical pouches and standard blank medical trays.
1. A sterile barrier packaging system comprising
one or more receptacles, wherein each of the one or more receptacles is form fit for a respective portion of a medical device, wherein each of the one or more receptacles is to receive the respective portion of the medical device and secure the respective portion of the medical device therein, wherein the one or more receptacles are thermoformed receptacles that include one or more sidewalls, wherein the one or more sidewalls flex apart when pressure is applied to enable the respective portion of the medical device to be received therein and retract back once the respective portion is received to secure the respective portion therewithin;
a mounting card adapted to receive and secure the one or more receptacles, wherein the one or more receptacles are configured on the mounting card to secure the medical device to the mounting card in a defined configuration; and
a sterile barrier to house the mounting card and the medical device.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more receptacles are to secure the medical device at various pressure points.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the mounting card includes one or more openings formed therein to receive the one or more receptacles.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the mounting card includes slots and the one or more receptacles each include a lip and the lip is secured within the slots.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the sterile barrier is a medical pouch.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the sterile barrier is a blank medical tray.
7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the mounting card includes sidewalls.
8. A hybrid-mounting card to secure medical devices to be placed within a sterile barrier, the hybrid-mounting card comprising
a plurality of receptacles, wherein each receptacle is form fit for a respective portion of a medical device in order to receive and secure the respective portion of the medical device therein, wherein the plurality of receptacles are thermoformed receptacles that include one or more sidewalls, wherein the one or more sidewalls flex apart when pressure is applied to enable the respective portion of the medical device to be received therein and retract back once the respective portion is received to secure the respective portion therewithin; and
a mounting card adapted to receive and secure the plurality of receptacles so as to support the medical device at various pressure points in a defined configuration.
9. The hybrid-mounting card of claim 8 , wherein at least one receptacle includes a strap to secure the respective portion of the medical device therein.
10. The hybrid-mounting card of claim 8 , wherein the mounting card includes a plurality of openings formed therein to receive the plurality of receptacles.
11. The hybrid-mounting card of claim 8 , wherein the mounting card includes slots and the receptacles include a lip and the lip is secured within the slots.
12. The hybrid-mounting card of claim 8 , wherein the sterile barrier is a medical pouch.
13. The hybrid-mounting card of claim 8 , wherein the sterile barrier is a blank medical tray.
14. A sterile barrier packaging system comprising
one or more thermoformed receptacles, wherein each of the one or more thermoformed receptacles is adapted to receive a respective portion of a medical device and secure the respective portion of the medical device therein, wherein the one or more thermoformed receptacles include one or more sidewalls, wherein the one or more sidewalls flex apart when pressure is applied to enable the respective portion of the medical device to be received therein and retract back once the respective portion is received to secure the respective portion therewithin;
a mounting card adapted to receive and secure the one or more thermoformed receptacles and secure a medical device, wherein the one or more thermoformed receptacles are configured on the mounting card to secure the medical device to the mounting card in a defined configuration and to support the medical device at various pressure points in the defined configuration, wherein the mounting card includes sidewalls;
a blank medical tray to receive the mounting card and the medical device; and
a lid secured to the blank medical tray.
15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the mounting card includes one or more openings formed therein to receive the one or more thermoformed receptacles.
16. The system of claim 14 , wherein the mounting card includes slots and the one or more thermoformed receptacles each include a lip and the lip is secured within the slots.
17. The system of claim 14 , wherein at least one thermoformed receptacle includes a strap to secure the respective portion of the medical device therein.
18. The system of claim 14 , wherein the one or more thermoformed receptacles are mounted to the mounting card.
