Abstract

See full text

A package for a medical device made of an expandable or shape memory material is disclosed. The package is a sheath which surrounds and contains the medical device, and is of sufficient strength that upon exposure to conditions which would cause the medical device to expand or change its shape it is restrained from such shape change or expansion. The package has a tear-away or peel-away feature which provides easy access to the medical device when needed.
