1. A method of packing a medical implant, comprising:
- inserting the medical implant inside a sleeve;
placing the sleeve with the medical implant inside a cavity formed in a substantially rigid base, the cavity being dimensioned to receive the sleeve; and
sealing a flexible material film over the substantially rigid base using a skin packing process, such that the flexible material film conforms to the shape of the sleeve and forms a skin pack lid,wherein a surface of the sleeve extends to a level spaced apart from at least a portion of the substantially rigid base, and the flexible material film is sealed over the substantially rigid base at least at a point below the level.

Abstract
A packaging assembly includes a substantially rigid base having a cavity dimensioned to receive a medical implant, a sleeve positioned in the cavity of the substantially rigid base and defining an opening dimensioned to receive the medical implant, and a skin pack lid sealed over the substantially rigid base to enclose and secure the sleeve within the cavity of the substantially rigid base. The sleeve has a shape substantially similar to a shape of the medical implant and substantially envelopes the medical implant when the medical implant is positioned in the opening of the sleeve. The skin pack lid has a geometry that substantially conforms to the shape of the sleeve.
