A medical device package for receiving, and securely and removably
retaining, a medical device includes main and minor cap members. The main
cap member has a proximal end, a distal end and a cavity with a cavity
opening at the proximal end. The cavity is configured to receive, and to
securely and removably retain, the medical device at least partially
therein. The minor cap member is configured to seal the cavity opening
once the medical device has been received in the cavity. Kits further
include a connector adapted for engaging the medical device member and
breaching the minor cap member. A method for extracting a medical device
from a medical device package includes first providing a medical device
package as described above, with a medical device therein, and a
connector. The method also includes breaching the minor cap member with
the connector such that at least a portion of the connector enters the
cavity of the medical device package. Next, the medical device is engaged
by the connector and extracted from the medical device package.
