ABSTRACT:
A package for storing an implantable medical device during storage and shipping includes a containment region for containing the device, a flange surrounding the containment region, and lidstock sealed against this flange. A recess in the containment region permits insertion of a surgical gripping tool below the device support surface. The package may further include ribs that facilitate steadying or gripping the package during removal of the lidstock, and a separate receptacle for holding the device after removal from the containment region. The device is preferably a device implantable in the human eye.
