Abstract
A packaging assembly may retain a sterile medical device for use in a surgical setting, such as an orthopedic implant or instrument. The packaging assembly may have a first packaging component and a second packaging component. The first packaging component and the second packaging component may be attachable to each other to define a first interior space containing the medical device. The first packaging component may have a first retention feature that defines a first interior receptacle shaped to receive at least part of the medical device such that a user can manually grip the medical device through the first retention feature. The first interior space may be manually opened by a user grasping the medical device through the first retention feature.
