Zusammenfassung:A suture package is designed to facilitate automated loading of multiple needles (2) and sutures (4) into the package. The package includes a tray (10,20), for containing the needles (2) and sutures (4), and a cover (50). The sutures (4) are contained in a peripheral channel (16) of the tray (10,20) and an array of resilient cantilevered fingers (24) prevent the sutures (4) from lifting up out of the channel (16). Needle parks (34,36) retain the needles (2) that are attached to the sutures (4). In another embodiment of the invention, a package for retaining a wound suture (4) and attached needle (2) includes a tray for containing the needle (2) and suture (4), including cover-latching elements (40) that each have two vertical surfaces. Tabs (52) on the removable cover (50) each contact a surface of a corresponding latching element (40) and have a free element that engages a shoulder (41) of the element (40).
