Description
- The invention relates to specialized containers adapted to hold and contain a medical device and related information.
- Containers designed for storing and transporting medical devices and surgical equipment are well known in the art. Generally, these types of containers include a container and a cover with sufficient volume to hold medical devices and components securely. Various types of attachments such as, for example, hinges, snap-on grooves or other structures are used to securely place the cover on the container.
- One of the general performance requirements for medical device containers is the need to maintain a protection for a sterilized package from the point of packaging, storage to delivery. Specifically, the primary features of most sterilized medical implant packages are to provide protection of the implants during shipping and enable sterile delivery to the operating room. However, there are several limitations in most of these packages and containers. Primarily, most medical device containers are cumbersome and require various operations to package, deliver and handle. Further, current medical device containers do not appear to provide ergonomic features that are compatible with the handling and delivery of implantable medical devices.
- There is, therefore, a need to provide a container for sterile delivery of implantable medical devices, with features and structures that enhance packaging efficiency on the manufacturing floor, promote ease of handling and complement implant procedure efficiency in the operating room.
- The invention is directed to a container for a medical device and related information that is tailored to house, cradle, support and protect the medical device in a sterile environment. Specifically, the container in accordance with the present invention, is dynamically configurable to enable an efficient high volume assembly, packaging, shipping and delivery operation while further enabling safe handling and unpacking of the contents of the container in an orientation suitable for a quick access and removal to implant in a patient.
- Among many of the novel features, the invention includes a container with a partial segment that remains closed while allowing access to the medical device when the container is opened. Further, the container includes vent holes to enable a gradual but continuous release of sterilization gas residues such as ethylene oxide or hydrogen peroxide that would otherwise accumulate in the box and may render the package unacceptable in certain jurisdictions with strict emission standards.
- In yet another aspect of the invention, the container includes ergonomic features that promote a simple and efficient handling of the container while enabling a secure hand-off to a surgeon in an operating room. The container also provides a tamper-proof indicator that includes a breakaway strip which breaks away when the cover of the container is opened for the first time, thus providing visible proof if the container was ever tampered with or in anyway compromised.
- While multiple embodiments are disclosed, still other embodiments of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description which shows and describes illustrative embodiments of the invention.
- As will be realized, the invention is capable of modification in various obvious aspects, all without departing from the scope of the present invention. Accordingly, the drawings and detailed description are to be regarded as illustrative in nature and not restrictive.
