Abstract
A package for a sterile article has a pair of sterile panels, a sterile article between the panels, and a bacteria-impervious envelope enclosing the panels and the article. The envelope has a tear-line for manually separating it into two open-ended portions for the purpose of opening the envelope. The panels extend outwardly beyond the tear-line so that after the envelope is opened, the panels and the article remain within one of the envelope portions with the panels extending out of that envelope portion. In this way, the article can be removed from the panels and envelope portion without the article contacting any part of the envelope portion.
