Abstract
Packaging may be designed to allow for the forced connection of separate parts without breaching the sterile barrier of the packaging. A component holder housed within sterile packaging may hold device parts such that the device parts can shipped and stored separated and can be pushed together to create a sterile connection between the parts while the parts are housed within the packaging.
Claims20
A component holder for sterile medical components, comprising:
- a board;
- first arms extending from the board;
- second arms extending from the board;
- and
- a buckling point configured to yield in a predetermined location to linearly move the first arms and the second arms closer together,
- wherein the component holder is configured to connect a first sterile component held by the first arms to a separated second sterile component held by the second arms when the component holder, the first sterile component and the second sterile component are disposed within a sealed package.
