Abstract
A medicinal sterile packaging for packaging a medicinal product includes a first sterile barrier designed to receive the medicinal product in a heat-sealed/sealed manner. A second sterile barrier forms a receiving space for receiving the first sterile barrier in a heat-sealed/sealed manner. An outer protective packaging receives the first sterile barrier and the second sterile barrier. The second sterile barrier is a film that forms at least two air pockets separated from one another in the film by a predefined fold-over or folding edge. When the film is folded over along the fold-over or folding edge, the two air pockets come to lie one on top of the other in alignment, such that the receiving space can be produced between them.

A sterile medical packaging for packaging a medical product, the sterile medical packaging comprising:
- a first sterile barrier;
- a second sterile barrier;
- and
- an outer protective packaging,
- the first sterile barrier configured to receive the medical product in a sealed manner,
- the second sterile barrier configured to form a receiving space for receiving the first sterile barrier in a sealed manner,
- the outer protective packaging configured to receive the first sterile barrier and the second sterile barrier,
- the second sterile barrier consisting of a double membrane forming exactly two air pockets,
- the exactly two air pockets being separated from each other by a predefined folding edge in the double membrane,
- the double membrane being foldable into a folded-down state along the predefined folding edge, and
- the exactly two air pockets being aligned with each other in the folded-down state such that the receiving space is created between the exactly two air pockets.
A sterile medical packaging for packaging a medical product, the sterile medical packaging comprising:
- a first sterile barrier configured to receive the medical product in a sealed manner;
- a second sterile barrier extending from a first side edge to a second side edge and comprising an inner membrane and an outer membrane, wherein the inner membrane and the outer membrane are secured together to define:
- a first region adjacent to the first side edge and having a first pocket between the outer membrane and the inner membrane,
- a second region secured to the first region by a first folding edge where the inner membrane is secured to the outer membrane by a first weld seam, the second region having a second pocket between the outer membrane and the inner membrane, and
- a third region adjacent to the second side edge and secured to the second region by a second folding edge where the inner membrane is secured to the outer membrane by a second weld seam, the third region having a third pocket between the outer membrane and the inner membrane,
- wherein one of the first pocket, the second pocket and the third pocket is configured to receive the first sterile barrier in a sealed manner,
- wherein the first region, the second region and the third region are movable from a flat state in which the first region, the second region and the third region are aligned in a row along a plane with the first folding edge and the second folding edge located between the first side edge and the second side edge, and a folded state in which the first region, the second region and the third region are stacked in a direction perpendicular to the plane;
- and
- an outer protective packaging configured to receive the first sterile barrier and the second sterile barrier.
