ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed herein a container for use in storing, cleansing, and moistening a guide wire or other flexible, elongated medical device between uses during medical procedures. The container has a base having an upper surface and a lower surface. A continuous side wall extends upwardly from the base forming a basin for retaining a coiled, flexible medical device such as a guide wire. A retaining flange is attached to the side wall and extends across at least a portion of the base to retain the free ends of the guide wire in the basin. A guide arm is attached to the side wall, and extends across at least a portion of the base so that the guide arm guides the coiled medical device onto the upper surface of the base as the medical device is inserted. The container may also have a plurality of ribs to keep the coiled guide wire from touching the base of the container. A channel or retention clips may be positioned on the lower surface of the base for retaining the guide wire in a fixed position so that the guide wire does not contact itself during packaging, sterilization and storage.
