Abstract
A medical device packaging system that includes a medical device packaged within an outer sleeve with an open end and a closure flap for closing an end opposite the open end. The packaging system further includes a seal that couples the closure flap to the outer sleeve to close the end opposite the open end. The seal is frangible along an edge between the closure flap and outer sleeve. The packaging system further includes an inner sleeve with a corresponding shape to the outer sleeve, and the outer sleeve and the inner sleeve are configured to move relative to each other in a longitudinal direction of the sleeves. The packaging system further includes a stiffener with a leading edge disposed within the inner and outer sleeves such that the leading edge of the stiffener is configured to interact with an inner surface of the closure flap.
