Catheter tray, packaging system, instruction insert, and associated methods
A tray ( 100 ) for accommodating a coiled medical device, such as a catheter assembly ( 700 ), includes a first compartment ( 101 ), a second compartment ( 102 ), and a third compartment ( 103 ). The catheter assembly ( 700 ) and devices associated with a catheterization procedure, such as syringes ( 701,702 ) containing sterile water and lubricating jelly and a specimen container ( 703 ) can be disposed within the tray. Printed instructions ( 1001 ) can be included with the tray ( 100 ). One or more layers of wrap material ( 2200 ) can be folded about the tray ( 100 ) to enclose the tray ( 100 ) and other items, such as an additional layer of wrap material ( 2701 ), packaged liquid hand sanitizer ( 2401 ), and packaged gloves ( 2402 ). When a health care services provider ( 3101 ) unfolds the wrap material, the same can be used to create a sterile field beneath a patient ( 3201 ).
