Abstract

See full text

Implantates are packaged in means capable of aseptic treatment and forming a closed cell having a portion adapted for engagement, rupture, and entry by a tool that permits removal of the implantate for use without handling of the implantate by the user. In such a package, the closed cell is formed by a film which includes portions shaped to assist rupture and entry of the cell by the tool and to assist in encompassing the implantate within the tool for its removal from the cell. The tool used in this system can be the means used to implant the implantate subcutaneously in the body of an animal. Thus, using the system of this invention, an implantate can be provided within a closed cell which is capable of aseptic treatment and transported to a remote site for use. At such a site, the closed cell can be ruptured with an implanter and the implantate can be encompassed within the implanter and removed from the cell for implantation.
