Abstract: A sterile container assembly for storing sterile allograft tissue implant material is constructed to hold allograft bone tissue material mounted in a sterile blister package allowing drainage of the lipids contained in the implant without destroying the seal and sterility of the package. The package for storing sterile allograft tissue implant forms is constructed with an outer blister tray defining an open faced cavity and a flange extending outward from the tray cavity surrounding the cavity and an inner blister tray seated in the outer blister tray cavity. The inner blister tray also defines an open faced cavity and a flange extending outward from the cavity and a two piece implant insert having a recess allowing lyophilization while preventing lipid flow is mounted in the inner blister tray cavity. Lids are provided for both the inner and outer blister trays.

Abstract: A double sterile container assembly for storing sterile allograft tissue implant forms constructed with an outer container defining an open faced cavity and a flange extending outward from the cavity and a stepped recess formed in the flange surrounding said cavity. An inner container sized to fit in the open faced cavity also defines an open faced cavity and a flange extending outward from the cavity with the inner container flange being of a dimension to fit into the stepped recess of the outer container. An insert retainer sized to fit into the inner container cavity defines a shaped structure therein to hold a tissue implant form. A permeable cover is sealed to the flange of the inner container covering the inner container cavity; and an outer cover is sealed to the flange of the outer container covering outer container cavity to form a double sterile implant container assembly.

Abstract: A package for holding a medical item such as a joint prosthesis part and maintaining the same in a double sterile state includes an inner package and lid each receiving a snap-in insert, a film cover sealing the inner package and lid combination, an outer package containing the combination and a second film cover sealing the outer package. Complementary recesses and lugs are formed on the lid and inner and outer packages to hold these units together. The inserts are provided with projections to engage and cradle the packaged item. A range of inserts is provided to permit the packaging of items of various sizes and configurations without otherwise modifying the package. Alternatively, either the inner package or the lid may include an integrally formed projection and a single insert is carried by the other one thereof.

Abstract: A tray of rectangular configuration having an array of open-topped compartments serves to hold a supply of medication arranged by day and time of taking. Associated with the tray is a support base having provision for storage of medication containers. A case may be provided for the tray and includes a cover to permit the tray to be carried without danger of the pills moving from the individual compartments.Preferably, the assembly is made by a plastic thermoforming process and an improved latch mechanism formed of mating walls of V-shaped configuration is provided.
