Abstract: A package for maintaining a needle-suture product in a sterile condition includes a peelable foil container in which a peripheral heat seal defines a cavity for retaining a suture packet. The packet has a plastic tray and a stiff paper lid secured to the tray by hinged paper cleats extending into sockets in the tray. The lid covers most of the area of the tray, leaving an uncovered portion for accessing a needle mounted in the tray. A suture attached to the needle is coiled in a peripheral track in the tray so that an extended length of suture material can be retained in a relatively small space. The container has top and bottom aluminum foils with differentiated polymeric coatings on their interior surfaces, which are thermally fused to form the seal. Unsealed foil flaps are provided at one end of the container to enable peeling apart the foils to open the package.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for transporting materials which are potentially hazardous in primary containers, especially biological materials. The device comprises an enclosure having a top that snapably locks into a body to prevent removal of the top after it is placed into the body. The body includes a grasping flange which can be engaged and pulled along a spiralling line of weakness to rip open a top portion of the body section which does not directly house the specimen containers. The inside of the shipping container includes a resilient material to cushion any shock that the shipping container might undergo. The resilient material is preferably highly absorbent and is impregnated with one or more of several visual indicators, so that in the unlikely event a primary specimen container breaks, its contents will be absorbed, held inside the shipping container, and even the casual observer will be aware that a specimen leak has occurred.
