ABSTRACT:
A package for double-armed sutures equipped with a pledget and means for centering the pledget on the suture during removal of the suture from the package. The package comprises a double-armed suture in a storage compartment with the armed ends of the suture extending out of the compartment, a pledget slidably affixed to the suture strand approximate to one needle, and pledget centering means intermediate the pledget and said needle. Preferred pledget centering means comprise an integral passageway in the package material for the double suture strand and a barrier associated with said passageway which restrains the pledget as the suture is withdrawn from the package through the passageway, whereby the pledget is slidably displaced along the suture until the total length of the suture is withdrawn and the suture and pledget are released from the package.
