A container for a medical device having a housing defining a cavity for receiving the device, a coupling zone external to the cavity, and an exit aperture between the cavity and the coupling zone； and a bearing surface located within the cavity, the bearing surface, exit aperture and coupling zone defining an exit path along which the device can be moved for deployment from the container. The bearing surface is spaced from the exit aperture and arranged, together with the coupling zone, such that the exit path is substantially straight. The cavity is approximately cylindrical, and the bearing surface, the exit aperture, and the coupling zone are aligned such that the exit path extends in a direction that is substantially tangential to the cavity. The housing comprises a two part structure joined together in a plane substantially orthogonal to the exit path. The housing defines a substantially unobstructed cavity for receiving the device. The housing in the coupling zone defines a slot through which the exit path extends, the slot defining a restricted space for deployment of a capture device.一種用於醫療裝置之容器，其具有殼體，該殼體界定用於接收該裝置之空腔，空腔外部之耦合區，及空腔與耦合區之間之出口孔洞；及定位在空腔內之支承表面，該支承表面、出口孔洞及耦合區界定出口路徑，該裝置可沿著該出口路徑移動以便從容器中部署。支承表面與出口孔洞間隔開並且與耦合區一起排列，以使得出口路徑實質上係直的。空腔係近似圓筒形的，並且支承表面、出口孔洞及耦合區對齊以使得出口路徑在實質上與空腔呈切向之方向上延伸。殼體包含兩部分結構，其在實質上垂直於出口路徑之平面中連接在一起。殼體界定用於接收該裝置之實質上無障礙空腔。耦合區中之殼體界定出口路徑延伸穿過之狹槽，該狹槽界定用於部署捕獲裝置之受限空間。
