Title FOAM NEEDLE CONTROL SUTURE PACKAGE ABSTRACT A package for double-armed and single-armed sutures, particularly ophthalmic sutures of the absorb- able or nonasbsorbable type, comprising a one-piece or two-piece folded packet having a needle mounting means and a suture loop retaining means which are read- ily accessible when the sterile package is opened. The package contains a single suture, with one or both needles secured in the needle mounting means. When a double-armed suture is used, a loop, substantially equidistant from each needle, is retained in a suture loop retaining means, so that the suture may be cut at the loop to obtain two single-armed sutures of substan- tially equal length. An improved direct dispensing surgical suture package, particularly for microsurgical use, has also been invented. The package comprises a center panel; a foam re- ceptacle affixed to said panel; a single-armed surgical suture with the needle engaged in the receptacle; and at least a first flap adjacent and placed onto said panel allowing said receptacle to be visible. The improvement comprises a grid on the exterior package surface, whereby said suture can be dispensed from said package by disengaging and then pull- ing said needle, and said suture can be oriented and measured by placing it on said grid.
