Featured is a package or carrier (10) for releasably holding any of a number of medical devices including a rigid member (14) that is interconnected to a flexible member (16) such as suture (14) -needle (16) combinations. The package (10) includes a support unit having a long axis (11), which support unit is configured so as to include a handle/cover member (20), a face cover member (30), a stationary panel (50), a plurality of folding panels (60a, 60c), and a plurality (i.e., two or more) of securing members (40) that releasably secure or retain portions of the medical device and/or portions of the interconnected flexible member to the package (10). The handle/cover members (20) is foldable in either of two positions. In the first position a part of the handle/cover member (20) covers a portion of the stationary panel (50) that is not covered by the face cover member (30). In the second position, this portion of the stationary panel (50) becomes uncovered to expose the medical devices that are secured therein and when the handle cover member (20) is folded into the second position, it also is relocated so as to create a handle for package (10) and so a portion of the rigid member extends beyond an edge of the open package. The support unit can further include thereon a mounting member (70) to releasably retain the rigid member. Also featured are medical device kits embodying such a package (10), a method for dispensing medical devices or sutures using such a package (10) and methods related thereto.
L'invention concerne un emballage ou un support (10) destiné à maintenir de manière amovible plusieurs dispositifs médicaux dont un élément rigide (14) relié à un élément flexible (16), tel que diverses aiguilles (16) de suture (14). L'emballage (10) comporte une unité support dotée d'un axe long (11), conçue pour comprendre un élément poignée/enveloppe (20), un élément de couverture de face (30), un panneau fixe (50), plusieurs panneaux pliants (60a, 60c) et plusieurs (au moins deux) éléments de fixation (40) qui fixent ou maintiennent sur l'emballage, de manière amovible, des parties du dispositif médical et/ou des parties de l'élément relié. L'élément poignée/enveloppe (20) est pliable en deux positions. Dans la première position, une partie de l'élément (20) recouvre une partie du panneau fixe (50) qui n'est pas recouvert par l'élément de couverture de face (30). Dans la seconde position, cette partie du panneau fixe (50) est découverte de façon à exposer les dispositifs médicaux fixés à l'intérieur. Lorsque l'élément poignée/enveloppe (20), par ailleurs, est replié dans la seconde position, il est repositionné de façon à créer une poignée sur l'emballage (10), une partie de l'élément rigide s'étend ainsi au-delà d'un bord de l'emballage ouvert. L'unité support peut également comporter un élément de montage (70) afin de maintenir de façon amovible l'élément rigide. L'invention concerne également des kits de dispositif médical comportant un tel emballage (10), un procédé de distribution de ces dispositifs médicaux ou sutures au moyen de cet emballage (10) et des procédés s'y rapportant.
