ABSTRACT:
Packaging for use in transportation and handling of a surgical instrument including a safety device which prevents engagement of the instrument or movement of a safety mechanism from a safety position. In a preferred embodiment the safety device is a safety interposer shaped to fit into a slot in the shaft of a Veress-type needle. The safety interposer acts as a physical barrier to prevent the movement of an inner needle with respect to an outer needle, thereby preventing exposure of the sharp edges of the outer needle particularly during transportation or handling.
