Packaging for use in transportation and handling of a surgical instrument including a safety device which prevents engagement of the instrument or movement of a safety mechanism from a safety position. In a preferred embodiment the safety device is a safety interposer shaped to fit around the shaft of a trocar. The safety interposer acts as a physical barrier between the trocar and cannula of the trocar assembly and prevents the two parts from coupling which may occur from jostling during transportation or handling. |
