Abstract

See full text

A storage system for maintaining dimensional tolerances of a plurality of bioabsorbable fasteners from a time of formation to a time of use of the fasteners. The storage system includes a structure defining a cavity. The cavity has a cavity cross-section resembling a corresponding cross-section of the plurality of bioabsorbable fasteners and a cavity length adapted to accept the plurality of the bioabsorbable fasteners in a stacked orientation. The cartridge is fabricated of a material having a heat deflection temperature higher than the temperatures encountered during manufacture, sterilization, shipping or storage. The storage system also includes a locking arrangement operably configured to shield the fasteners from a biasing force outside the cavity until the time of use of the fasteners.
