ABSTRACT:
The invention is directed to a suspension package that is used to support and protect sensitive articles such as prosthetics and other medical implants when such articles are being shipped. The suspension package is comprised of a pouch, and a tray member and a cover member. The pouch is designed to be connected to and suspended between the tray member and the cover member. During shipping, the tray member and the cover member protect the packaged article to prevent damage. The pouch includes apertures around its perimeter that allow the pouch to be attached to suspension posts of the tray member. The suspension posts are tapered and include detent grooves that are designed to stretch and retain the pouch to prevent movement during shipping.
