Abstract
A product package includes a first member and a second member arrangeable in an unpackaged state and a packaged state. The package has a flexible member attached to the first and second members which assists in securing an implant to the first member. The flexible member is slack when the package is in the unpackaged state and is taut in the packaged state. The first member is coupled to the second member by a connector in the packaged state with the product secured between the first member and the flexible member. The flexible member is externally exposed when the package is in the packaged state. The package can also include an insert coupled to the first member to assist in securing the product in the package. The flexible member can have a pull tab forming a frangible connection with the flexible member to open the package. The flexible member may form a sterile barrier around the product.
