A suture pack comprises a first film portion (10) with a trough-like depression (11) in which a folded card (12), holding most of the or each suture, is accommodated. The depression (11) is covered by a second film portion (13) which is sealed to the first film portion (10). The pack is opened by pulling apart two tear-open tabs (14, 15) to tear the second film portion (13). A tab (33) which consists of a part punched out from the upper side of the folded card (12), is fixed to that end of the tear-off region of the second film portion (13) which is remote from the tear-off tabs (14, 15), so as to stand up at the end of the tearing movement. The or each suture (38) contained in the folded card (12) is fixed to tab (33) for gripping by the fingers. <IMAGE> |
