Abstract
A rigid package or container for a sterile pre-lubricated, ready to use female-length catheter with enhanced gel holders and simple constructions. A main body of the rigid container has a hollow interior which may receive a gel holder defining an inner cavity filled with a lubricating gel. The gel holder partly inserts into the main body and a tube of the catheter inserts through the gel holder into the main body with a proximal outlet projecting out of the gel holder so as to be graspable. Alternatively, the gel may be provided within the hollow interior of the main body. A rigid and closed cap seals to either the main body or the gel holder and closes the hollow interior of the main body.
