Abstract
A package for sterile delivery of medical implants such as vent tubes includes a compartmented tray, a lid connected with the tray by a living hinge, and one or more posts projecting from a bottom wall of one of the compartments for retaining a medical implant in a substantially fixed position. A groove can also be formed in the tray for aligning a forceps with the medical implant to facilitate grasping and removal of the medical implant.
