Abstract: A packaging for surgical suture material has a stuck-on label (3). The label (3) has a main section (10) provided on the back with contact adhesive, and a transfer part (12) which is punched out of the main section (10) and the back of which, likewise provided with contact adhesive, is stuck onto a first protective paper. The edge region of the first protective paper extends beyond the edge (14) of the transfer part (12) and is stuck by means of the contact adhesive to the back of the main section (10). The surface area of the first protective paper is smaller than that of the label (3).

Abstract: A package with surgical suture material contains a needle-holding section (6) and two thread-holding sections (7) connected thereto. Closure plates (35, 36) are attached to the long edges of the needle-holding section (6). Arranged at the lower short edge (5) of the lower thread-holding section (7) is a cover plate (37) which likewise has closure plates (38, 39) at its long edges. A thread holder (15) and a needle holder (16) are provided on the needle-holding section (6). Arranged on the thread-holding sections (7) are in each case two thread holders (15). Several needle-thread combinations (20, 21) or individual threads (21) are held by this needle holder (16) and the thread holders (15). The individual sections (6, 7) are folded in such a way that in each case they lie against one another. The closure plates (35, 36) serve to safeguard the folded arrangement of the sections (6, 7) against unfolding.
