- 15 - ABSTRACT A package for holding a medical device is disclosed. The medical device comprises a mesh onlay having a mesh plug attached perpendicularly thereto. The mesh is substantially flat and lies in a plane which is substantially horizontal with respect to the plug. The package comprises a folder which has a central floor panel for receiving the mesh onlay and mesh plug assembly. The central floor panel has a pair of opposed major sides and a pair of opposed minor sides. A first end panel is foldably connected to one minor side of the central panel for retaining the mesh onlay on the central panel in a substantially flat position when the first end panel is folded inwardly on top of the mesh onlay and central floor panel. A connecting panel foldably connected to the opposite minor side of the central panel is, in turn, foldably connected to a plug retaining panel. The plug retaining panel secures the mesh plug in a position substantially perpendicular to the mesh onlay and the central floor panel. The plug retaining panel is in turn foldably connected to a second end panel. During assembly of the package, the connecting panel is folded inwardly toward the central panel and the plug retaining panel is folded down to contact the top surface of the plug. The plug retaining panel is then substantially parallel to the top face of the plug, the mesh onlay, the central floor panel and the first end panel. The second end panel is folded down toward the first end panel. The first end panel is locked to the central floor panel with locking means. The second end panel is locked to the central panel with locking means n The first end panel has an optional slot to receive the plug. The locking means for the first end panel and second end panel optionally ETH-836 - 16 - comprise slots and tabs. The assembled package retains the mesh onlay in a substantially flat configuration, while the mesh plug is retained in a position substantially perpendicular to the mesh onlay. The package is easy to assemble, and the mesh onlay and mesh plug are easily removed from the package. The assembled package may have a pyramidal-like configuration.
