Medical device package

Abstract

A medical device package 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.

1 . A medical device package comprising: 
 a main cap member with a cavity therein, the main cap member including: 
 a proximal end; and  
 a distal end; and  
   a minor cap member,    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, 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 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.  
     
     
         3 . The medical device package of  claim 1 , wherein the main cap member includes a directional marker.  
     
     
         4 . The medical device package of  claim 1 , wherein the main cap member cavity is configured to receive, and to securely and removably retain, an integrated medical device that includes electrical contacts such that the electrical contacts project from the cavity opening and minor cap member.  
     
     
         5 . The medical device package of  claim 1 , wherein the minor cap member includes ribs that seal the cavity opening.  
     
     
         6 . The medical device package of  claim 1 , wherein the minor cap member is a breachable minor cap member.  
     
     
         7 . The medical device package of  claim 1 , wherein the minor cap member is configured for permanent attachment to the medical device.  
     
     
         8 . The medical device package of  claim 1 , wherein the main cap member further includes a distal end cavity configured for disabling the medical device.
