A packaging system comprises having packaging for an implant (6) and/or a catheter (7), which has a receptacle (1) for the implant (6) and/or the catheter (7) which receptacle has at its distal end a closure (2) and an opening or actuating mechanism with a closable and expandable axial passage (5). An insertion aid for the insertion of a removal device and/or a wire (14) into an inner lumen of the implant and/or catheter can be provided by a sleeve-like insertion element (10, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104), which is arranged at least partially within the axial passage (5) in the closure (2), or is formed by the closing element. An opposite, distal end forms an insertion opening (120) for the removal device and/or the wire (14) into the insertion element. The packaging can include at a rear end a transport device (7) for moving the implant, or the device for use of the implant, relative to the packaging through the closure. A coupling device (15) with a passage (17) which device moves relative to a receptacle in the packaging can connect to the closure, which passage can be connected to an inlet port (12) of a container or an insertion system (11).
