A package assembly holds at least one applicator nozzle tip and, optionally, a fluid-containing vial adapted for attachment to the nozzle tip. By providing the vial with a fluid-dispensing end, it may be used with or without the nozzle tip. When used in combination, the vial and nozzle tip can be employed to dispense, for instance, a medical adhesive to a wound site.

Packaging assembly for surgical use

A package for holding a pointed object such as a needle, includes a tray with an internal hollow delimited by a bottom surface and a sidewall, with the internal hollow receiving the pointed object therein. A removable support member extends parallel to the bottom surface over said internal hollow and supports a point guard depending therefrom. The point guard is interposed between the sidewall and a point on the pointed object to be held. Preferably, the point guard has a thickness that is impenetrable to the pointed object during shipping. A cover sheet loosely holds the point guard in position and the package can accommodate needles within a range of dimensions.
