Package for surgical suture.

摘要

The support packaging for surgical sutures (20,22) is made by cutting and folding a cardboard blank comprising three elements separated in pairs by respective folding lines. The suture thread (20) is situated between two adjacent elements of the support packaging. The packaging has an opening flap (163) which is pivoted on the third element (160). The suture needle (22) is fixed on the opening flap by a foam block (167) at a distance from its pivoting axis (166) and from the thread emergence zone (139). When the package is opened pivoting of the opening flap causes unsticking of the needle from the base of the packaging and facilitates the gripping of the needle.
