Medical device package kit

Abstract

A medical device package kit for receiving, and securely and removably retaining, a medical device includes main and minor cap members. The main cap member has a proximal end, a distal end and a cavity with a cavity opening at the proximal end. The cavity is configured to receive, and to securely and removably retain, the medical device at least partially therein. The minor cap member is configured to seal the cavity opening once the medical device has been received in the cavity. Medical device package kits further include a connector adapted for engaging the medical device member and breaching the minor cap member.

1 . A medical device package kit comprising: 
 a main cap member with a cavity therein, the main cap member including: 
 a proximal end; and  
 a distal end;  
   a minor cap member; and    a connector,    wherein:    the cavity has a cavity opening at the proximal end of the main cap member;    the cavity is configured to receive, and to securely and removably retain, a medical device at least partially therein;    the minor cap member is configured to seal the cavity opening once the medical device has been received in the cavity;    the connector is configured to engage the medical device during removal of the medical device from the cavity; and    the main cap member includes at least one lateral channel and wherein the medical device is securely and removably retained by a friction fit between the medical device and the at least one lateral channel.    
     
     
         2 . The medical device package kit of  claim 1 , wherein the connector includes a connector directional marker.  
     
     
         3 . The medical device package kit of  claim 1 , wherein the connector is further configured to breach the minor cap member.  
     
     
         4 . The medical device package kit of  claim 1 , wherein the connector includes at least one strip engaging element for contacting electrical contacts of the medical device.  
     
     
         5 . The medical device package kit of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one lateral channel has a longitudinal axis and the at least one lateral channel restrains free movement of the medical device package in at least one direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.
