Abstract:
In some examples, a medical device package may include a backing card that is configured to secure a medical device to a major surface of the backing card. The backing card is configured to be assembled from an open state into a closed state in which flaps on one or more ends of a central region of the backing card move over some of the central region and cover some of the secured medical device. The closed state defines a reduced footprint relative to the unfolded state. The backing card may be sealed in a pouch, which may then be housed in a carton. The carton includes exterior walls that enclose the sealed backing card and spacing elements that receive the sealed backing card at a relative location within the carton and holds the backing card a threshold distance from the exterior walls of the carton.

Claim (Index 21):
A medical device package comprising:\n a medical device; a backing card defining a longitudinal axis, the backing card including:\n a major surface configured to receive the medical device when the backing card is in an open state, the major surface extending lengthwise along the longitudinal axis of the backing card and including a central region and one or more flaps on one or more ends of the major surface along the longitudinal axis; \n a plurality of tabs configured to extend away from the major surface to secure the medical device to the major surface, wherein at least a portion of each of the one or more flaps is configured to move over at least a portion of the central region along the longitudinal axis to assemble the backing card into a closed state that at least partially encloses the secured elongated medical device; \n a pouch configured to enclose the backing card, the pouch configured to create a hermetic seal around the backing card; and a carton configured to receive the backing card when the backing card is in the closed state, the carton including:\n a set of exterior walls configured to completely enclose the backing card in the closed state; and \n a plurality of spacing elements attached to the set of exterior walls, the spacing elements being configured to secure the backing card at a position with at least a threshold distance between an outer surface of the backing card and the nearest respective portion of the set of exterior walls when the set of exterior walls enclose the backing card.
