ABSTRACT:
A package for retaining a needle-suture combination includes a cover, and a base which is connected to the cover by snap lock engagement so as to define an enclosure volume. The base has first and second V-shaped ridges, each V-shaped ridge having a vertex portion, the vertex portion of the first V-shaped ridge being in opposing relation to the vertex portion of the second V-shaped ridge so as to define a constricted space therebetween. The V-shaped ridges serve as guides for maintaining a major portion of the suture in a coiled configuration with generally figure 8 shaped loops.
