Abstract: A fiberoptic cable coil tray and coil carrier package comprises a carrier to which the fiberoptic coil is attached and which is inserted into the tray, and a lid for the tray. A plurality of fiberoptic coil retainers in the form of notches or clips are formed on the coil carrier to provide a stable, self-contained and restrained fiberoptic coil which remains properly seated in the package during handling and storage. The coil carrier provides increased ease of handling of the fiberoptic coil by restraining individual fiberoptic coils with the plurality of coil retainers which are positioned along the length of the fiberoptic cable, such that a selected length of the fiberoptic cable can be removed from the carrier without the remaining coils springing out therefrom. The carrier also secures each end of the fiberoptic cable, such that either end can be removed separately while the remainder of the fiberoptic coils remain secured to the carrier.

Abstract: An implant assembly and methods for loading implant devices which avoids the accidental deposition of transplanted material or other contaminates on the exterior of the device during transportation, storage, and handling are disclosed. The implant assembly of the invention may be used with a large variety of implant devices for implanting a variety of materials such as cells, tissue or other materials into a host. The implant assembly includes an implant device having an elongated port and a first chamber for holding material for implantation and a container with a second chamber for holding the implant device. The container functions to maintain the sterility and protect the physical integrity of the implant device during loading, storage, cryopreservation and transportation and is removed immediately prior to implantation of the device. The container may optionally include liquid media for cellular growth, maintenance, cryostorage, or transportation purposes.
