Abstract: The present invention relates to a storage container for pre-sterilized surgical implements. The container is comprised of a bottom assembly containing at least one cavity for receiving a surgical implement such as a drill bit, pin or wire and a lid portion which is heat sealed onto the bottom assembly such that it acts as a sterile barrier in containing the product.The invention utilizes a plurality of areas spaced apart longitudinally in the cavity for selectively placing protective plugs at each end of the implement such that one packaging cavity may be used for various lengths of implements. The protective plugs prevent the implement from penetrating the ends of the cavity which would break the sterile barrier.
