Abstract

Packaging and methods for packaging tools having a sharp or cutting edge, such as surgical tools, in which the tool is packaged under sterile conditions. The tool may be packaged first—at least partially—and in particular with its sensitive cutting edges and working surfaces packaged in a protective package. The protective package containing at least the cutting or working surfaces of the tool may then be secured in a fixed position in an outer blister pack, which may be sealed with a sealing film.
