9. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the flexible wall portion comprises a plurality of concentric rings of flexible material formed in an accordion fold configuration.
10. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a medical device contained within the first compartment and an insertable electrical component contained within the second compartment.
11. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the insertable electrical component comprises a power source.
12. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the container further comprises a perimeter rim, and wherein the second cover comprises a peelable film adhesively attached to the perimeter rim.
13. The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the peelable film is adhesively attached to a portion of the first cover and to a portion of the perimeter rim.
14. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the container is a blister tray, wherein the blister tray is formed of a single homogeneous continuous material.
15. An apparatus for aseptic attachment or insertion of an insertable electrical component comprising:
(a) a container, wherein the container is sized and configured to receive a medical device, wherein the container comprises a first compartment, a second compartment, and a detachable wall, wherein the detachable wall is connected to the first compartment and the second compartment, wherein the detachable wall is disposed between the first compartment and the second compartment;
(b) a first cover, wherein the first cover is movable from a first position where the first cover is removably attached to and covers the first compartment to a second position where the first cover no longer covers the first compartment; and
(c) a second cover, wherein the second cover is movable from a first position, where the second cover is removably attached to and covers the first and second compartments, to a second position, where the second cover no longer covers the first and second compartments;
wherein the detachable wall is removably attached to the first cover;
wherein one or both of the first cover or the second cover are configured to cooperate with the container in a manner sufficient to maintain sterility of a medical device within the container;
wherein the top portion of the detachable wall is attached to the first cover by an adhesive.
