Abstract
A package for sterile delivery of medical implants such as, for example, wire piston prostheses, includes a tray defining a compartment, an insert removably disposed in the tray, and a lid mounted by the tray for sliding movement relative thereto. The medical implant is held by the insert in a specific position above a bottom wall of the compartment and with a longitudinal axis of the implant aligned with a recess in a wall of the compartment to permit the implant to be grasped with forceps for proper presentation at the operative site.
