Zusammenfassung:A package for transporting an organ is formed from a plastic laminate. The laminate includes an inner layer of a fluorinated polyethylenepropylene copolymer and an outer layer of a polyimide. The laminates are heat sealed together around the perimeter to form a closed pouch. The thickness of the inner and outer layers of the laminate and the bond strength between the layers of the laminate are tailored to produce a peelable seal. Upon peeling the laminated sheets apart, the heat seal will tear along the edge of the seal and the inner layer will delaminate from the outer layer.
