The package system may include a first part and a second part, where a holding platform can be incorporated into the first part of the package system and a collection tray can be incorporated into the second part of the package system. The first part may include leg portions. The leg portions of the first part can be folded and fitted into matching pockets of the second part, so that the first part of the package system can provided a relatively elevated and stable holding platform to hold the medical device. The package system can contain the medical device in the package system in a storage state, and hold the medical device with the holding platform in an application state.
