ABSTRACT:
A method and a packaging system for packaging a sterilizable item for aseptic presentation onto a sterile field are disclosed. The packaging system for the sterilizable item includes a sterilizable flexible elongate tubular member having an outside, a closed end and an open end having a circumference. The item is placeable in the tubular member proximate the closed end. The tubular member includes a border portion having a width, an attached edge and an opposing edge spaced apart from the attached edge by the width. The attached edge is attached to the tubular member proximate the open end along the circumference of the open end and the opposing edge is located proximate the outside of the tubular member. The opposing edge receives thereunder the attached edge of the border portion to enclose the item in the tubular member. The packaging system also includes a sterilizable container for receiving therein the tubular member and the item. After sterilization, the item can be dispensed from the sterile tubular member and transferred onto a sterile field by a single non-scrubbed attendant while maintaining the sterility and integrity of the item and the field. The sterile item can be removed from the packaging system in a manner that prevents the inadvertent contamination of the sterilized item. In addition, once the item has been dispensed the elongate tubular member can be used as a convenient waste container during and immediately after the surgery.
