ABSTRACT:
A package for a plurality of sterile, dry, hydrolyzable, surgical ligating clips. The package comprises a disposable means for holding the ligating clips in a spaced apart relationship. The clips are disposed in the holding means to provide an area around each clip for access thereto. The clips themselves have a pair of legs which are connected at their proximal ends by a narrowed resilient hinge portion. The hinge portion of the clip is more sensitive to hydrolysis than the remainder of the clip. The package also includes means, for example, pre dried paper for permanently removing moisture from the area around the clips. The disposable holding means, the clips, and the moisture removing means are wrapped by impermeable wrappers whereby the final package maintains the resiliency of the hinge portion of the clips over an extended shelf life period. Preferably, the clips are made from polymers of dioxanone although they may be made from other of the absorbable polymer materials such as the homopolymers of glycolide, and lactide or copolymers of the same, or copolymers of either with dioxanone.
