Urinary Catheter-Insertion Kits With Integrated Instructions For Use And Methods Thereof

A urinary catheter-insertion kit, comprising:

• a working tray and a storage tray,
• wherein the working tray is configured to nest with the storage tray by suspending the working tray from the storage tray, and
• wherein at least the working tray includes a plurality of preformed sections holding a plurality of components of the urinary catheter-insertion kit;
• a Foley catheter,
• wherein at least one section of the preformed sections of the working tray includes a catheter section including the catheter, and
• wherein the working tray includes a cutout in a corner area of the catheter section formed between a bottom portion and an end portion of the catheter section;
• a drainage system including drainage tubing and a drainage receptacle,
• wherein the drainage system is pre-connected to the catheter through a connector having a urine-sampling port, and
• wherein the cutout in the corner area of the catheter section is configured to allow the drainage tubing to pass from the storage tray where the drainage system is stored to the working tray by way of a bottom of the cutout;
• a lubricant-filled syringe for lubricating the catheter,
• wherein at least one section of the preformed sections of the working tray includes a lubricant-syringe section including the lubricant-filled syringe;
• a saline-filled syringe for inflating a balloon of the catheter,
• wherein at least one section of the preformed sections of the working tray includes a saline-syringe section including the saline-filled syringe;
• a genital-preparation kit including a package of an antiseptic and one or more swab sticks,
• wherein at least one section of the preformed sections of the working tray includes a genital-preparation section configured with a well to hold the antiseptic from the package and one or more angled channels holding the one or more swab sticks with their absorbent heads in the well;
• a urine-sampling container,
• wherein at least one section of the preformed sections of the working tray includes a urine sampling-container section including the urine-sampling container, or
• wherein the storage tray is configured to hold the urine-sampling container instead of the working tray;
• and
• step-by-step catheterization instructions imprinted directly on at least the working tray.

A method of urinary catheterization with a urinary catheter-insertion kit, comprising:

• removing an outer packaging from the urinary catheter-insertion kit,
• wherein removing the outer packaging bares a working tray suspendedly nested with a storage tray with step-by-step catheterization instructions imprinted directly on at least the working tray, and
• wherein the working tray includes a plurality of preformed sections holding a plurality of components for the method of urinary catheterization with the urinary catheter-insertion kit;
• cleaning a patient's perianal area with a peri-care kit,
• wherein cleaning the patient's perianal area includes removing the peri-care kit from between the outer packaging of the urinary catheter-insertion kit and a protective paperboard configured to protect the components of the urinary catheter-insertion kit in the working tray under the paperboard;
• preparing the patient's genital area using a genital-preparation kit including a package of an antiseptic and one or more swab sticks,
• wherein preparing the patient's genital area includes removing the package of the antiseptic from a genital-preparation section of the working tray and dispensing the antiseptic into a well of the genital-preparation section, thereby saturating one or more absorbent heads of one or more corresponding swab sticks respectively held in one or more angled channels of the genital-preparation section;
• and
• catheterizing the patient with a Foley catheter,
• wherein catheterizing the patient includes removing the catheter from a catheter section of the working tray and a drainage system from the storage tray without disconnecting the catheter from either drainage tubing or a drainage receptacle of the drainage system.
