ABSTRACT:
A needle shield for use in conjunction with a suture package includes foldable panels of puncture-resistant material bendable at perforated fold lines to wrap around a needled suture retainer. A tabbed locking means secures the needle shield in a closed configuration. The needle retainer and shield are loaded into an outer envelope and sterilized to provide a sterile packaged suture. A method of assembling the package is disclosed wherein a needled suture is loaded into the retainer, the needle shield is folded around the retainer, and the needle retainer and needle shield are loaded into and sealed within an outer envelope.
