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 are disclosed. Such medical device kits can include one or more wrap assemblies for use in the placement/maintenance procedure. In accordance with present embodiments, the one or more wrap assemblies of the medical device kit can include various features to assist the clinician performing the particular procedure. In one embodiment, a medical wrap assembly is disclosed, comprising a foldable wrap body that includes a front surface, wherein the front surface is configured to define a sterile field. A plurality of pockets is included on the front surface of the wrap body. The pockets are configured to contain therein a plurality of medical components. The medical components are arranged in the pockets in a predetermined order of use for the medical procedure.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A urinary catheterization kit having an unrolled configuration and a rolled configuration, the urinary catheterization kit comprising:
a wrap body including a front surface;
a plurality of pockets disposed on the front surface of the wrap body, the plurality of pockets configured to contain a plurality of urinary catheterization components in a predetermined order of use for a urinary catheterization procedure;
instructions positioned on the front surface of the wrap body for using the urinary catheterization kit; and
a drainage bag positioned over the plurality of pockets and the plurality of urinary catheterization components in the unrolled configuration, wherein the drainage bag and the wrap body are rolled in unison to transition the urinary catheterization kit from the unrolled configuration to the rolled configuration.

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

3. The urinary catheterization kit of claim 1 , wherein the pockets are formed by one or more pieces of a wrap-body material welded to the wrap body by ultrasonic welds defining bottoms and sides of the pockets.

4. The urinary catheterization kit of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of urinary catheterization components are selected from the group consisting of one or more pairs of gloves, an underpad, one or more perineal wipes, hand sanitizer, lubricant, an antiseptic, swab sticks, a urinary catheter, drainage tubing, a specimen container, and combinations thereof.

5. The urinary catheterization kit of claim 1 , further comprising a specimen container placed on the drainage bag in the unrolled configuration, wherein the specimen container is positioned in a diametric center of the urinary catheterization kit in the rolled configuration.

6. The urinary catheterization kit of claim 1 , wherein the instructions are presented on the front surface of the wrap body in accordance with the catheterization components arranged in the pockets of the wrap body in the predetermined order of use providing a stepwise system for the urinary catheterization procedure.

7. A urinary catheterization kit having an unrolled configuration and a rolled configuration, the urinary catheterization kit comprising:
a wrap body of a sterilizable material including a front surface;
a plurality of pockets disposed on the front surface of the wrap body, the plurality of pockets including an arrangement of catheterization components, the catheterization components including an intermittent catheter;
instructions printed on the front surface of the wrap body, the pockets, or a combination thereof in a predetermined order together with the arrangement of catheterization components providing a stepwise system for a urinary catheterization procedure with the intermittent catheter; and
a drainage bag disposed over the plurality of pockets and the catheterization components in the unrolled configuration, wherein the drainage bag and the wrap body are rolled in unison to transition the urinary catheterization kit from the unrolled configuration to the rolled configuration.

8. The urinary catheterization kit of claim 7 , wherein removal of at least some of the catheterization components from the pockets reveals instructions hidden by the at least some of the catheterization components prior to their removal.

9. The urinary catheterization kit of claim 7 , wherein:
the pockets are formed by one or more pieces of the sterilizable material adhered or ultrasonically welded to the wrap body, and
adhesive beads or ultrasonic welds respectively define bottoms and sides of the pockets.

10. The urinary catheterization kit of claim 7 , wherein the catheterization components further include one or more catheterization components selected from the group consisting of one or more pairs of gloves, an underpad, one or more perineal wipes, hand sanitizer, lubricant, an antiseptic, swab sticks, drainage tubing, a specimen container, and combinations thereof.

11. The urinary catheterization kit of claim 7 , wherein the drainage bag completely covers the plurality of pockets and the catheterization components in the unrolled configuration.

12. The urinary catheterization kit of claim 7 , further comprising a specimen container placed on the drainage bag in the unrolled configuration, wherein the specimen container is positioned in a diametric center of the urinary catheterization kit in the rolled configuration.
