A new, innovative packaging system for surgical needles and sutures has been developed that meets the special needs of surgical technologists. This packaging system consists of an overwrap, or breather pouch, as well as an innerwrap containing the suture swaged to a surgical needle. The flaps of the overwrap are offset and serrated to facilitate the opening and sterile transfer of the inner packet to the sterile field. The inner packet contains either a plastic labyrinth, or craft board that maintains the suture as straight as possible until knot construction. The needle swaged to a suture is 'parked' in foam to protect its sharp cutting edges and point.
一种针对手术针和缝线的全新创新包装系统已被研发出来，该系统满足了手术技术人员的特殊需求。这种包装系统由一个外包装，即透气袋，以及一个内包装组成，内包装中装有与手术针锻造在一起的缝线。外包装的封盖是错开且呈锯齿状的，以便于将内包装打开并无菌转移至无菌区域。内包装包含一个塑料迷宫或工艺板，可在打结操作前尽可能保持缝线的笔直状态。与缝线锻造在一起的针“放置”在泡沫中，以保护其锋利的切割边缘和针尖。
