Kind Code:
Y2
Abstract:
A package for double-armed and single-armed sutures, particularly ophthalmic sutures of the absorbable or nonabsorbable type, comprising a one-piece or two-piece folded packet having a needle mounting means (7) and a suture loop retaining means (9) which are readily accessible when the sterile package is opened. The package contains a single suture (8), with one or both needles (6) secured in the needle mounting means (7). When a double-armed suture is used, a loop, is retained in a suture loop retaining means (9), so that the suture (8) may be cut at the loop to obtain two single-armed sutures of substantially equal length. An improved direct dispensing surgical suture package, particularly for micro-surgical sue, has also been invented. The package comprises a center panel; a foam receptacle affixed to said panel; a single-armed surgical suture with the needle engaged in the receptacle; and at least a first flap adjacent and placed onto said panel allowing said receptacle to be visible.
