Abstract
A package for transporting objects which are sterile or which are to be sterilized. The package has a box for accommodating objects, and a covering sheet made of a leak tight material which is fastened to the box so as to seal the box in a leak tight manner. The package has a layer of a material forming a screen which is at least partial with respect to a decontamination gas and/or able to absorb a decontamination gas. The layer is sized to be placed in the box along the covering sheet such that the layer lies above the objects. A plate or grill is provided with projections and is shaped, depending on the position of the package, to allow unrestricted diffusion of the sterilization gas over the objects, and to restrict or prevent diffusion of the decontamination gas over these same objects.
