Definitions
- the present disclosure is generally related to catheter product packaging and, more particularly, to a catheter product package and method of forming same.
- Intermittent catheterization is a good option for many who suffer from various abnormalities of the urinary system. Those with such abnormalities often find it desirable to use individually packaged, sterile catheters. Important criteria for such a single use product include the cost and ease of use in performing intermittent catheterization.
- intermittent catheters are packaged in such a way that the end user is usually required to touch the catheter in order to insert it into the urethra. It is notable in this connection that intermittent catheters are commonly provided with a surface treatment using a lubricant to reduce friction in order to allow for easier, less traumatic insertion and withdrawal.
- a lubricant to reduce friction in order to allow for easier, less traumatic insertion and withdrawal.
- gel coated catheters and hydrophilic coated catheters.
- Gel coated catheters are made easier to insert by having the user apply a gei to the catheter surface, or more conveniently, the gel can be supplied with the packaged catheter.
- a system may be provided with the packaged catheter in order to assist in applying the gel to the catheter surface. This system may be one where the gel is put onto the catheter surface just before or during the packaging operation, or one where the gel is applied to the surface as the catheter is being inserted by the user.
- the catheter Ss typically provided with a thin hydrophilic coating which is adhered to the outer surface of the catheter for activation by contact with a hydrating liquid such as liquid water or saline solution.
- the coating When the coating is activated by contact with liquid water or saline solution, it becomes slippery, creating a catheter surface that has an extremely low coefficient of friction.
- the most common form of this product is a sterile, individually packaged single use catheter provided in a dry state or condition.
- the user typically exposes the coating to contact with liquid water or saline solution, waits approximately 30 seconds or more, and then removes the catheter from the package in a condition in which it is ready for insertion.
- the waiting time of approximately 30 seconds or more during which the liquid water or saline solution is in contact with the coating is necessary to accommodate an induction period for activation of the coating.
- the hydrophilic coating swells and causes the catheter surface to become iubi ⁇ cious.
- the hydrophilic coated catheter it is provided in a package that already contains enough loose liquid water to cause it to be fully immersed so the user need only open the package and remove the catheter ready for insertion without the need to add liquid water or saline solution and wait 30 seconds or more.
- Other new products provide the amount of liquid water or saline solution necessary for immersion of the catheter in a separate compartment of the package. With these products, one must open the separate compartment allowing the liquid water or saline solution to enter the catheter-containing chamber for direct contact with the hydrophilic coated surface.
- the user may be asked to manipulate the package to bathe the catheter surface in the hydrating liquid in order to activate the hydrophilic coating on the catheter surface.
- Such a package is formed of two sheets of a suitable material which hold the gel coated catheter and gel or the hydrophilic coated catheter and liquid water between them. The two sheets of material are conventionally secured together with an adhesive or by welding to form a seal that extends entirely about the perimeter of the package.
- the method of forming a package for a catheter product includes the step of providing a sheet material for the package. It also includes the steps of placing the catheter product on the sheet material and, thereafter, wrapping the sheet material around the catheter product. Further, the method includes the step of sealing the sheet material to form a sealed cavity with the catheter product disposed within the sealed cavity.
- the seal comprises a single longitudinal seal preferably combined with a pair of end seals at opposite ends of the package and, additionally, the method may include the step of affixing a tear strip to the sheet material prior to, simultaneously with, or subsequent to, placing the catheter product on the sheet material.
- the step of affixing a tear strip to the sheet material includes affixing the strip to extend in a desired direction relative to the catheter product within the sealed cavity after the sheet material is sealed.
- the catheter product and tear strip are both preferably on a common surface of the sheet material to extend in laterally spaced, and preferably in generally parallel relation in a longitudinal direction thereon.
- the sheet material may advantageously comprise a liquid tight, gas impermeable foil
- the tear strip may be formed of any of a number of materials including polyethylene, polyester, or other materials, or a combination of materials.
- the tear strip may be adhesively or otherwise affixed to the common surface of the sheet material or it may be affixed by other means, e.g., the strip may have a polyethylene backing so it can be directly heat sealed to the sheet material.
- the foil has sufficient aluminum content, oris otherwise provided with sufficient tear propagation properties, so that tearing in the direction of the tear strip causes the tear to thereafter propagate along the tear strip to cause the package to open along an intended opening line.
- the package may be formed of a gas permeable material, provided the gas permeability would not compromise the required shelf life for the lubricant (i.e., the gel or liquid) and provided the gas permeability would not compromise the sterile delivery of the packaged catheter.
- the material for the package is foil or some other material, it will be understood that the selected material should have the requisite linear tear propagation tendencies to facilitate easy opening of the package by the end user.
- the step of sealing the sheet material preferably includes forming a seal preferably generally parallel to the catheter product and forming a seal generally perpendicular to the catheter product at each of opposite ends thereof. It is, therefore, advantageous to form a longitudinal seal along the length of the catheter product and to form an end seal at each of opposite ends of the catheter product to form the sealed cavity for the catheter product.
- the longitudinal seal and end seals are preferably all formed as weld seals with one of the end seals formed longer than the other of the end seals.
- the tear strip preferably extends from one of the end seals to the other generally parallel to the longitudinal seal.
- the tear strip may advantageously be made to extend preferably generally parallel to the catheter product and also to the longitudinal seal, and it is also made to extend into each of the end seals.
- the longer of the end seals preferably has a finger hole and a tear line extends from adjacent the finger hole to adjacent the tear strip.
- the catheter product may comprise a catheter having a hydrophilic coating in which case the method preferably includes affixing or otherwise disposing a wick, such as, for example, a fabric strip, an absorbent paper strip, an absorbent open-celled foam strip or anything else that will emit a vapor, on a common surface of the sheet material with the tear strip.
- the method then also advantageously includes wetting the wick with an aqueous liquid prior to forming the sealed cavity to thereafter produce a water vapor atmosphere within the sealed cavity to activate the hydrophilic coating.
- the wick is disposed on the common surface of the sheet material to extend in preferably generally parallel relation to the catheter and also to the tear strip in a longitudinal direction on the sheet material.
- a gas permeable, liquid impermeable barrier may be advantageously heat sealed to the common surface of the sheet material to cover the wick.
- This barrier is preferably applied and heat sealed to the common surface of the sheet material shortly after the wick has been wetted with a suitable liquid, hi this manner, the sealed cavity formed by the package will have the catheter product in one compartment and the liquid used to wet the wick in another compartment whereby the catheter product is maintained out of direct contact with the liquid.
- the tear strip is adhesively or otherwise affix the tear strip to the heat seal along one of the longitudinal edges of the barrier.
- the compartment containing the wetted wick is liquid tight as a result of being heat sealed entirely about its perimeter to confine the liquid therein.
- the tear strip is affixed within the bounds of the heat seal so the compartment will remain liquid tight even after the package has been opened.
- the tear strip can be used to cause a tear to propagate along the tear strip to cause the package to open along an intended opening line which exposes only the compartment containing the catheter product and not the compartment containing the wick wetted with liquid.
- the method of forming a package for a catheter is advantageous not only for use with catheters alone but also for catheters assembled within a urine collection bag. In the latter case, the principal difference will be that while the package is still generally rectangular in shape, the ratio of length to width for the package used for the catheter/collection bag product will be considerably less than for the package used for the catheter alone to accommodate the typical size and shape of a collection bag. Unlike the long, naiTow shape of a typical catheter package, the catheter will be folded into a generally U-shape within the collection bag thereby requiring a shorter but wider package.
- the sheet material is advanced from a roll in a fiat form toward a catheter product receiving point, and the catheter products are advanced one at a time above the sheet material toward the catheter product receiving point.
- the tear strip is affixed to the sheet material as it advances toward the catheter product receiving point and the sheet material is wrapped into a U shape to receive the catheter products at the catheter product receiving point.
- the catheter products are placed on a conveyor that feeds the catheter products onto the U shaped sheet material one at a time at the catheter product receiving point, and the sheet material is then further wrapped to form a cavity.
- the automated method includes sealing the sheet material to form separate, sealed cavities, and thereafter cutting the sheet material to form separate, distinct packages for each of the catheter products.
- the present disclosure sets forth a package for a catheter product comprised of a sheet material wrapped about the catheter product to form a package for the catheter product.
- the catheter product preferably extends generally longitudinally within the package, and the sheet material extends from beyond the proximal end to beyond the distal end of the catheter product.
- the sheet material is wrapped about the catheter product to have confronting proximal end and distal end sheet edges and confronting side sheet edges. The confronting proximal end and distal end sheet edges and the confronting side sheet edges of the sheet material are joined by a seal to define a sealed cavity for the catheter product.
- a tear strip is affixed to the sheet material to cause the sheet material to tear along the tear strip to thereby cause the package to open along an intended opening line for access to the catheter product in the package.
- the tear strip extends within the sealed cavity in a desired direction relative to the catheter product to cause the package to open along the intended opening line in a manner facilitating removal of the catheter product from the package for use.

- the front and rear panels define a pair of parallel side edges and include a pair of tear strips affixed to an inner surface of the sheet material so that one of the tear strips is positioned at each of the side edges.
- the front and rear panels define a pair of parallel side edges and include a single tear strip affixed to an inner surface of the sheet material near or adjacent to one of the side edges.
- the seal joining the confronting side sheet edges forms a longitudinal seal preferably generally parallel to the catheter product and the seals joining the confronting proximal end and distal end sheet edges form end seals generally perpendicular to the catheter product.
- the sheet material again advantageously comprises a liquid tight, gas impermeable foil, the longitudinal seal and the end seals all are formed as weld seals, and one of the ends seals is formed longer than the other of the end seals. With one of the end seals being formed longer than the other, the longer of the end seals advantageously has at least one finger hole and a tear line extending from adjacent the finger hole to adjacent the tear strip to propagate tearing along the tear strip.
- the catheter product comprises a catheter having a hyclrophilic coating and the package includes a wick disposed on an inner surface of the sheet material within the sealed cavity containing the catheter.
- the wick is wetted with an aqueous liquid prior to forming the sealed cavity so as to thereafter produce a water vapor atmosphere within the sealed cavity to activate the hydropliilic coating on the catheter.
- the wick is preferably disposed on the inner surface of the sheet material within the sealed cavity to extend in generally parallel relation to the catheter and the tear strip in a longitudinal direction thereon.
- a gas permeable, liquid impermeable barrier is advantageously heat sealed to the inner surface of the sheet material to cover the wetted wick.
- This barrier is preferably, applied and heat sealed to the common surface of the sheet material shortly after the wick has been wetted with the liquid.
- the sealed cavity formed by the package will have the catheter contained in one compartment and the liquid used to wet the wick will be entirely confined within another compartment.
- the conveyor feeds the catheter onto the gas permeable, liquid impermeable barrier sealed to the sheet material, rather than directly onto the sheet material.

- the package is formed for use with catheter products which comprise catheters folded into a generally O-shape and disposed within a urine collection bag.
- catheter products which comprise catheters folded into a generally O-shape and disposed within a urine collection bag.
- the principal difference in the packages will be the size and shape, i.e., while the package still will be generally rectangular in shape, the ratio of length to width for the catheter/collection bag package will be considerably less than for the package used for a catheter alone.
- the catheter will be folded into a generally U-shape within the collection bag thereby requiring a shorter but wider package than for a catheter alone.

- a wetted wick 433 is provided and a gas permeable, liquid impermeable barrier 434 is heat sealed to the inner surface of the sheet material 4] 4 to cover the wick 433.
- This barrier 434 is applied and heat sealed as at 434a and 434b (Figs. 6a and 6b) to the inner surface of the sheet material 414 shortly after the wick 433 has been wetted with a suitable liquid.
- the sealed cavity 418 formed by the package 410 will have the catheter 413 in one compartment 418a and the liquid used to wet the wick 433 in another compartment 418b whereby the catheter is maintained out of direct contact with the liquid.
- the tear strip 420 is adhesively or otherwise affixed to the heat seal 434a along one of the longitudinal edges of the barrier 434.
- the compartment 418b containing the wetted wick 433 is liquid tight as a result of the barrier 434 being heat sealed entirely about its perimeter to confine the liquid therein.
- the tear strip 420 is affixed within the bounds of the heat seal 434a so the compartment 418b remains liquid tight after opening the package.
- the tear strip 420 can be used to cause a tear to propagate along the tear strip and through the heat seal 434a generally along one of the longitudinal edges of the barrier 434. This causes the package 410 to open along an intended opening line which will, in turn, expose only the compartment 418a containing the catheter 413. However, the compartment 418b containing the wetted wick 433 remains liquid tight because the heat seal 434a remains sufficiently intact to preserve this condition.
- the barrier 434 will run the full length of the package 410 so that opposite ends thereof are captured within the heat seals 416a and 416b.
- the heat seals 416a and 416b cooperate with the heat seals 434a and 434b to complete the heat sealing of the barrier 434 entirely about its perimeter to thereby form the liquid tight compartment 418b.
- the package 410 may also have a heat seal such as 435 which serves to prevent possible backflow of liquid during the manufacturing assembly process until such time as the heat seal 416a has been formed
- Fig. 7 it will be seen that the package 510 is structurally identical to the package 410 in Figs. 6 and 6a.
- the package 410 in Figs. 6 and 6a is shown in use with a catheter product 412 in the form of a catheter 413 having a no-touch sleeve 415 formed of a gas permeable, liquid impermeable material.
- the no-touch sleeve 415 extends along the hydrophilic coated catheter to cover substantially the entire insertable portion.
- the package 510 in Fig. 7 is shown in use with a catheter product 512 in the form of a catheter 513 having an insertion tip 554 at one end thereof and also having a no-touch sleeve 515 attached to at least the insertion tip 554.
- the catheter 513 includes a protective cap 556 covering the insertion tip 554 to be removed for using the catheter.
- the package 610 is also almost entirely structurally identical to the package 410 in Figs. 6 and ⁇ a and the package 510 in Fig. 7.
- the primary difference is that the package 410 in Figs. 6 and 6a is shown in use with a catheter product 412 in the form of a hydrophilic coated catheter 413 having a no- touch sleeve 415 whereas the catheter product 612 comprises a hydrophilic coated catheter 613 assembled within, and as apart of, a urine collection bag assembly 658.
- the package 610 is still generally rectangular in shape, but the ratio of length to width will be considerably less than for the packages 410 and 510 which are designed for use with a catheter alone.
- the package 610 has a size and shape to accommodate the typical size and shape of a urine collection bag assembly such as 658.
- the catheter 613 is folded into a generally U-shape within the collection bag assembly 658 (see Fig. 8) to form the urine collection bag assembly thereby requiring a shorter but wider package for the assembly due to the shape of the collection bag.
- the catheter 613 in the assembly 658 has a no-touch sleeve 615, an insertion tip 654, and a protective cap 656.
- the respective catheter packages 410, 510, 610 have confronting proximal end (414a, 514a, 614a) and distal end (414b, 514b, 614b) sheet edges which are sealed (as at 416a, 516a, 616a and 416b, 516b, 616b, respectively), and they also have respective tear lines (432, 532, 632) leading to respective tear strips (420, 520, 620) which may be substantially as shown in the drawings.
- the catheter packages 410, 510, 610 have respective finger hole(s) (428, 430; 528; 530; 630) to assist the end user in opening the packages.
- a wetted wick 633 is used to activate a hydrophilic coating on the catheter 613, and a gas permeable, -liquid impermeable barrier 634 is heat sealed as at 634a and 634b to the inner surface of the sheet material 614 in a manner which is sufficient to cover the wetted wick 633.
- the sealed cavity 618 formed by the package 610 will have the urine collection bag assembly 658 in one compartment 618a and the liquid used to wet the wick in another compartment 618b whereby the hydrophilic coated catheter 613 is maintained out of direct contact with the liquid.
- the collection bag 658 will be formed of a gas permeable, liquid impermeable material to permit vapor produced by a change of phase of the liquid in the wick 633 to pass through the gas permeable barrier 634, through the gas permeable collection bag, and through the no-touch sleeve 615 to hydrate the hydrophilic coating on the catheter 613.
- the apparatus 60 can be utilized to perform an automated method of forming packages for catheters wherein a roll of sheet material 62 is provided on a reel holder 64 for forming the packages.
- the sheet material is advanced from the roll 62 in a flat form as at 66 toward a catheter product receiving point 68.
- a tear strip is affixed as at 70 to the sheet material as it advances in a flat form as at 66 toward the catheter receiving point 68.
- the catheter products comprise catheters which have a hydrophilic coating in which case the method includes affixing or otherwise disposing a wick, such as a length of fabric, as at 78 on a surface of the sheet material.
- the method also may include wetting the wick as at 80 with an aqueous liquid such as liquid water.
- a gas permeable, liquid impermeable barrier is then deposited over the wick and heat sealed as at 81 to the inner surface of the sheet material, thus sealing the wetted wick between the inner surface of the sheet material and the gas permeable, liquid impermeable barrier.
- the sheet material having the gas permeable, liquid impermeable barrier sealed thereto is then wrapped into a U-shape to receive the catheter products at the catheter product receiving point 68.
- the catheter products traveling on the infeed conveyor 72 are placed on the U-shaped sheet material (or, more precisely, onto an exposed surface of the gas permeable, liquid impermeable barrier) one at a time at the catheter product receiving point 68, and the sheet material is further wrapped about each of the catheter products.
- the further wrapping of the sheet material forms a cavity for the catheter products.
- the sheet material is sealed as at 74 in a manner forming a separate, sealed cavity for each of the catheter products, following which the sheet material is cut as at 76 in a manner forming a separate, distinct package for each of the catheter products.
- the step of affixing a tear strip on the sheet material preferably includes affixing the ship as at 70 so as to extend generally parallel to the catheter products within the sealed cavities.
- the sheet material preferably comprises a liquid tight, gas impermeable foil
- the tear strip is formed of a suitable material such as polyester having a polyethylene backing
- the tear strip is adhesively or otherwise affixed in position on the inner surface of the sheet material.
- the foil preferably has sufficient tear propagation properties, as may be provided by having a sufficient aluminum content, so that tearing in the direction of the tear strip causes the tear to thereafter propagate along the tear strip to cause the packages to open along an intended opening line.
- the step of sealing the sheet material for each package includes forming a seal extending generally parallel to the catheter product and forming a seal extending generally perpendicular to the catheter product at each of opposite ends thereof.
- the step of sealing the sheet material includes forming a longitudinal seal along the length of the catheter product and forming an end seal at each of opposite ends of the catheter product to form the sealed cavity therefor.
- the longitudinal seal and the end seals all are formed as weld seals with one of the end seals being formed longer than the other of the end seals.
- the step of sealing the sheet material therefore preferably includes forming a single longitudinal seal generally parallel to the catheter product and forming a pair of end seals generally perpendicular to the catheter product beyond opposite ends thereof.
- the catheter product and the tear strip are both preferably placed on a common surface of the sheet material (or, in certain embodiments, the catheter is separated from the inner surface of the sheet material by a gas permeable, liquid impermeable barrier) and the tear strip is of a length so as to extend continuously through each of the end seals in such a manner as to be generally parallel to the single longitudinal seal and the catheter product.
- one of the end seals will be understood to be formed in such a manner as to be longer than the other of the end seals, wherein the longer end seal is suitably provided with a finger hole and a tear line extending from adjacent the finger hole to adjacent the tear strip.
- the present disclosure eliminates the need for two sheets of material joined by a seal which extends entirely about the perimeter of the package. This ensures a compact package wherein only a single sheet of material is used and in which a pair of end seals must cooperate with only a single longitudinal seal to ensure the cavity containing the catheter product remains sealed until the end user decides to open the package to use the catheter product.
- the catheter product package may be constructed of two sheets of material which are sealed about their perimeters to define a catheter product- receiving sealed cavity, or it may be constructed of a vacuum or thermo formed plastic material to define a cavity sealed with a sheet material.
- a tear strip may advantageously be affixed to the sheet material to cause it to tear along the tear strip so the package opens along an intended opening line whereby the tear strip extends from a perimeter seal to a point within the sealed cavity to facilitate removal of the catheter product from the package for use.
- the tear strip is secured adhesively or by heat sealing it to an inner surface of the sheet material, and the sheet material is formed of foil or some other material having suitable linear tear propagation tendencies to cause the package to be opened along the intended opening line.
