Abstract

A container includes an upper opening portion, a holder, which is placed in the container, for holding at least one medical device, and a gas non-permeable film for sealing the opening portion. The holder includes a basal plate portion having a plate shape, a plurality of tubular portions protruding downwardly from the basal plate portion, a plurality of stays formed around each of the plurality of tubular portions and connecting another of the plurality of tubular portions, and a support rod protruding downwardly from the basal plate portion and having a length longer than the plurality of tubular portions. The support rod is arranged such that a medical device housed in each of the plurality of tubular portions is not adapted to contact a bottom surface of the container, or another holder adjacent to the holder when the holder and the another holder are stacked.

Claims (22)

1. A container, comprising

an upper opening portion;

a holder, which is placed in the container, for holding at least one medical device, including

wherein the support rod includes a base portion formed on the basal plate portion, a connecting support rod portion extending from the base portion in a direction apart from the basal plate portion, and a connecting hole recessed from the basal plate in the base portion.

4. A container, comprising:

an upper opening portion;

a holder and another holder stacked on the holder, the holder being placed in the container, for holding at least one medical device, including

a basal plate portion having a plate shape,

a plurality of tubular portions protruding downwardly from the basal plate portion,

a plurality of stays formed around each of the plurality of tubular portions and connecting another of the plurality of tubular portions, and
