Method and device for reducing implant contamination from handling

An orthopedic implant has a removable handling cover coupled thereto which includes a thin-walled layer extending over a grasping portion of the outer surface. An outer container can sealingly house the orthopedic implant within a sterile environment and support the orthopedic implant in an orientation that presents the handling cover for grasping. A surgeon can manually grasp, handle and manipulate the implant into an implantation position, and remove the handling cover from the implant during implant surgery, and without the need to directly contact any surface of the orthopedic implant itself. Related methods of providing such an implant assembly and of reducing infection from contamination during implantation surgery are also disclosed. 矫形植入物具有与其结合的可移除执握盖，所述可移除执握盖包括在外表面的抓握部上方延伸的薄壁层。外收容器能够将所述矫形植入物密封地容纳到无菌环境内且将所述矫形植入物支撑在呈现所述执握盖以便抓握的方位。外科医生能够手动地抓握、执握和操纵所述植入物到植入位置，并且在植入手术期间从植入物移除执握盖，而无需直接接触矫形植入物本身的任何表面。还公开了提供这种植入物组件以及减少植入手术期间的污染引起的感染的相关方法。
