ABSTRACT:
A package for endoscopic surgical instruments includes a retainer member fabricated from a single sheet of flexible material. The retainer includes an arcuate portion forming a ridge extending laterally across the retainer. Apertures in the sloped sides of the arcuate portion are aligned for reception of the endoscopic portion of the surgical instrument, thereby securely holding the instrument. Distal and proximal upper flap portions fold over and interlock with each other to form the top of the retainer.
