Abstract
A catheter packaging defined by at least two walls bonded along a pair of lateral edges by lateral edge bonds. The packaging having an openable top, wherein the openable top is sealed by a top seal comprising a top bond which meets the lateral edge bonds at an internal angle of no more than 110 degrees.
Claims21
A catheter packaging defined by at least two walls bonded along a pair of lateral edges by lateral edge bonds, the packaging having an openable top, wherein the openable top is sealed by a top seal comprising a top bond which meets the lateral edge bonds at an internal angle of no more than 110 degrees.
A catheter packaging according to any preceding claim wherein the force to separate the bonds beyond the intersection of the top and lateral edge bonds is at least 1.5 times the force to separate the top bonds prior to the intersection.
A catheter packaging according to any preceding claim wherein the force to separate the bonds beyond the intersection of the top and lateral edge bonds is at least 2 times the force to separate the top bonds prior to the intersection.
A catheter packaging according to any preceding claim wherein the internal angle is between 90 and 110 degrees.
A catheter packaging according to any preceding claim wherein the internal angle is between 110 and 100 degrees.
A catheter packaging according to any preceding claim wherein the internal angle is 105 degrees.
A catheter packaging according to any preceding claim wherein the top bond comprises a pair of bond lines, the pair of bond lines meeting at an apex.
