ABSTRACT:
The invention features a suture pack including a suture having needles at its ends and a pledget between the ends. The suture can be removed from the pack by pulling on one of the needles without becoming tangled on itself or on other sutures that preferably also are included in the pack. The suture package includes a support having a first retainer holding one of the needles, a second retainer holding the other needle, and a third retainer holding the pledget separately from either of the needles. The first retainer is positioned above the second and third retainers and the third retainer is offset horizontally from the second retainer. The support may also include a fourth retainer, positioned below the second retainer for holding the suture. Preferably the first, second and fourth retainers are vertically aligned.
