Abstract
A retainer card is disclosed which includes a pair of fold lines, a main section, and a center section. Opening(s) formed in the main section cooperate with opening(s) formed in the center section so as to form at least one receptacle for a surgical or medical device. The main section is deflectable from a relaxed configuration to a flexed configuration when a surgical or medical device is inserted into a corresponding one of the receptacle(s). The retainer card and the surgical or medical device(s) contained therein can be inserted into an outer sterilizable envelope.
