Abstract

Medical device kits for use in placing, maintaining, altering, and/or removing medical devices in, on, and/or from the body of a patient can include one or more wrap assemblies for use in the placement/maintenance procedure. The one or more wrap assemblies of the medical device kit can include various features to assist the clinician performing the particular procedure, such as a urinary catheterization procedure. A wrap assembly can include a wrap body including a front surface defining an aseptic field for the urinary catheterization procedure, a plurality of pockets on the front surface, and urinary catheterization components disposed in the plurality of pockets, the urinary catheterization components arranged in a predetermined order of use for the urinary catheterization procedure. The wrap assembly can be in a rolled configuration. A method of using the wrap assembly includes unrolling the wrap assembly and removing the urinary catheterization components to perform the procedure.

Claims (18)

1. A method of using a urinary catheterization kit, comprising:

removing a wrap assembly in a rolled configuration from a pouch;

unrolling the wrap assembly from the rolled configuration to an unrolled configuration, the wrap assembly comprising:

a wrap body including a front surface defining an aseptic field for a urinary catheterization procedure;

a plurality of pockets on the front surface;

urinary catheterization components disposed in the plurality of pockets, the urinary catheterization components arranged in a predetermined order of use for the urinary catheterization procedure;

printed instructions on the front surface, the plurality of pockets, or a combination thereof, the printed instructions presented in the predetermined order of use for the urinary catheterization procedure;

a drainage bag over the plurality of pockets and the urinary catheterization components; and

a specimen container on the drainage bag;

removing the specimen container and the drainage bag from the wrap assembly; and

performing the urinary catheterization procedure according to the printed instructions.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the drainage bag completely covers the plurality of pockets and the urinary catheterization components in the unrolled configuration.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of pockets are ultrasonically welded onto the front surface.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the wrap body is formed solely from central supply room (CSR) wrap material.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein performing the urinary catheterization procedure comprises working in a stepwise left to right manner to maintain sterility of the urinary catheterization components.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the front surface of the wrap body includes printed instructions on an inside of one or more of the plurality of pockets, the printed instructions initially covered by one or more of the urinary catheterization components the one or more of the plurality of pockets.

7. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the pouch includes a label to identify the urinary catheterization kit and instructions pertaining to the stepwise left to right manner.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the urinary catheterization components include one or more pair of gloves, an underpad, a perineal care kit, hand sanitizer, lubricant in a syringe, an iodophor antiseptic, one or more swab sticks, and a urinary intermittent catheter.
