Abstract
An improved package for needled sutures comprising a folded suture retainer wherein a coiled suture is contained between two folded panels while the needle is contained between two adjacent folded panels. A gusset along the foldline between the needle retention panels and the suture retention panels provides a channel for the length of suture traversing the foldline and facilitates the easy withdrawal of the suture from between the panels of the folded retainer.
