Description

Title: Packaging for a band-shaped wound care product Description The invention relates to a packaging for a band-shaped product for wound care, in particular a wound tamponade, a packaging containing a band-shaped product for wound care and a method for removing the band-shaped product. Usually, band-shaped products for wound care, particularly wound tamponades or tamponade bandages, are provided in sterile packaging with a length of at least 1 meter. In the field of ENT medicine in particular, the medical staff cuts off the required length from the tamponade bandage in the packaging, soaks the severed piece of the tamponade bandage in a solution and inserts the tamponade into one nostril or ear canal. The piece of the tamponade bandage still in the packaging is then pulled out of the packaging and used in the same way for the second nostril or ear canal. Various types of packaging are known in the prior art, for example rigid polyethylene boxes that can be used as dispensers. The strip-shaped product can be pulled out of the polyethylene box over the edge of a removal opening. These polyethylene boxes are packed in additional sterile packaging so that they can be stored in a sterile condition. After the strip-shaped product has been removed, both the sterile packaging and the polyethylene box must be disposed of, which leads to disproportionately large amounts of waste. Alternatively, sterile packaging, so-called peel pouches, are used, which generate less waste but cannot be used as dispensers. Such sterile packaging is described, for example, in EP 0 650 713 Bl. In a peel pouch or blister, the strip-shaped product is usually located between two layers of paper or film that are connected to one another at a peripheral edge, so that a chamber is formed within this edge in which the strip-shaped product can be accommodated. A wound treatment kit is known from US 2010/ 0274205 Al. The packaging has several individually sealed chambers, each chamber containing one component of the kit. On the Cover of the chambers are instructions for the user, in which order the components of the kit should be taken out of the packaging and used. The disadvantage of the known packaging is that the strip-shaped product always has to be pulled out over the edge of the packaging or the edge of the removal opening. Sterility in the edge area can only be inadequately ensured. In particular, if the product is removed multiple times, there is a risk that the edge will become dirty and the required cleanliness of the strip-shaped product can no longer be ensured. The invention is therefore based on the object of proposing a packaging for a band-shaped product for wound care, by means of which the risk of soiling and/or contamination of the band-shaped product with germs during removal is reduced. This object is achieved by a packaging for a band-shaped product for wound care, which comprises a molded element and a covering element, wherein the covering element is opposite the molded element and is at least partially connected to the molded element in a sealing zone. A first chamber, which is formed between the covering element and the molded element, is designed to receive the band-shaped product. A second chamber, which is formed between the covering element and the Formed element is designed to receive an end section of the band-shaped product. The packaging additionally comprises a connecting lumen between the first and the second chamber, wherein the end section of the band-shaped product can be passed through the connecting lumen from the first into the second chamber. The design of the packaging has the advantage that the space formed between the cover element and the formed element, namely the first and second chambers and the connecting lumen, is protected from external contamination. A band-shaped product stored in the first chamber of the packaging according to the invention can thus be guided out of the first chamber, through the connecting lumen, into the second chamber, without the band-shaped product having to be pulled over an unsterile or potentially contaminated edge of the packaging. A further advantage is that the second chamber can hold the strip-shaped product and can thus be used as a base or tray for placing the strip-shaped product. This means that no additional tray is required. In addition, the risk of the section of the strip-shaped product pulled out of the first chamber falling onto the floor or a shelf and thus becoming dirty is reduced. For example, if the entire strip-shaped product is not required, but only a piece of it, the strip-shaped product can be pulled out of the first chamber and placed in the second chamber. The piece in the second chamber can then be severed from the remaining strip-shaped product without the severed piece having to be placed in an external container, such as a kidney dish. It is particularly advantageous that the second chamber can also be used directly to apply oint
