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 method of making a urinary catheterization kit, comprising:
forming a wrap body from a sterilizable material, the wrap body including a front surface;
creating a plurality of pockets on the front surface of the wrap body, the plurality of pockets configured to contain urinary catheterization components arranged in a predetermined order of use for a urinary catheterization procedure;
printing instructions on the front surface of the wrap body, the plurality of pockets, or a combination thereof, the instructions presented in the predetermined order of use for the urinary catheterization procedure;
inserting the urinary catheterization components into the plurality of pockets in the predetermined order of use for the urinary catheterization procedure;
positioning a drainage bag over the plurality of pockets and the urinary catheterization components in an unrolled configuration of the wrap body;
placing a specimen container on the drainage bag;
rolling the wrap body along with the drainage bag around the specimen container into a rolled configuration, the specimen container adding structural integrity to the urinary catheterization kit and
inserting the rolled configuration of the wrap body into a separate pouch.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising sterilizing the urinary catheterization kit to provide at least an aseptic field over the front surface of the wrap body when the wrap body is transitioned to the unrolled configuration.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the positioning further comprises completely covering the plurality of pockets and the urinary catheterization components.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the creating further comprises ultrasonically welding one or more pieces of the sterilizable material to the wrap body to form bottoms and sides of the plurality of pockets with ultrasonic welds.

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

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the urinary catheterization components in the plurality of pockets are arranged to be used according to the predetermined order of use in a left to right manner such that sterility of the urinary catheterization components is not compromised.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the instructions are printed on the plurality of pockets, and wherein one or more of the plurality of pockets include instructions printed on an inside of a pocket initially covered by one or more of the urinary catheterization components therein.

8. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the separate pouch includes a label to identify the urinary catheterization kit, and instructions pertaining to a stepwise system for use.

9. 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.
