ABSTRACT:
A sterile package for holding a vascular puncture closure system including an elongated flexible guide-wire. The package comprises a tray, a cover, and a holder for the guide-wire. The tray is formed of a self-supporting plastic material and includes a hollow central interior portion with a flange extending thereabout. A plurality of recesses are provided in the tray to hold respective ones of the components making up the closure system. A pair of retaining tabs are located on opposite sides of the hollow central interior and project slightly thereover. The holder is sealed and includes an interior arcuate raceway for holding the guide-wire in a coiled configuration with one end extending out of a small access port in the holder. The holder is arranged to be releasably held under the tabs onto the tray. The cover is arranged to be releasably secured by a heat seal to the peripheral flange of the tray over the holder. The tray is somewhat flexible to enable it to be flexed slightly to release the holder from under the tabs after the cover has been removed from the tray to release the holder from the package so that upon inversion of the tray the components drop out on to a table. The catheter can be readily removed from the holder by pulling on its distal end portion. After use the guide-wire can be reinserted into the holder for safe disposal.
