#$%^&*AU2010201316B220140717.pdf#####ABSTRACT [0043] A package for a surgical blade tip is provided herein. The package cooperates with the surgical blade tip to properly retain it and facilitate mounting onto a surgical blade handle. In one aspect, the invention includes a package having a body with a side wall and at least two detents extending inwardly from the side wall. In addition, a surgical blade tip is provided having an adaptor with a blade extending therefrom. The adaptor includes at least two recesses formed therein. The surgical blade tip is disposed in the package with the detents being at least partially inserted into the recesses. Also, the detents are configured to apply a retentive force to the adaptor to retain the adaptor in a first position and configured to deflect with a predetermined amount of torque being applied to the surgical blade tip so as to permit the adaptor to rotate from the first position to a second position where the detents are not inserted into the recesses. Advantageously, with the subject invention, a package may be provided which maintains a blade of a surgical blade tip in spaced relationship so as to minimize contamination thereof. In addition, the interengagement of the detents and the recesses allows for proper retention of the surgical blade tip during mounting onto a surgical blade handle. 19ito 22 30 - ~1 2 36 z 1/10
