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.Un envase para un dispositivo médico que tiene un alojamiento que define una cavidad para recibir el dispositivo, una zona de acoplamiento externa a la cavidad y una abertura de salida entre la cavidad y la zona de acoplamiento； y una superficie de apoyo ubicada dentro de la cavidad, la superficie de apoyo, la abertura de salida y la zona de acoplamiento definen una vía de salida a lo largo de la cual el dispositivo puede moverse para desplegarse desde el envase. La superficie de apoyo se encuentra separada de la abertura de salida y se dispone, junto con la zona de acoplamiento, de forma tal que la vía de salida es sustancialmente recta. La cavidad es aproximadamente cilíndrica y la superficie de apoyo, la abertura de salida y la zona de acoplamiento se alinean de forma tal que la vía de salida se extiende en una dirección que es sustancialmente tangencial con respecto a la cav
