Abstract: There is contained a first package for holding the surgical instruments. The package contains a blister, with a flange surrounding the blister cavity, and an adhesive sealed lid attached to the blister flange. There is also contained a second package which has a lower surface, a pair of side walls extending perpendicularly from the lower surface, a pair of back walls perpendicular to both the side walls and the lower surface, and four inner walls each of which is parallel to one of the side walls or the back walls. A top surface connects the inner walls to one of the side walls or the back wall. The inner walls abut one another to form a "well" through which the blister can be displayed. Finally, the flange of the first package fits between each of the inner walls and the lower surface of the second package.
