Medical clamshells developed for protection, retention, and presentation

Medical clamshells are commonly used when a device requires enclosed protection, controlled orientation, and visibility throughout handling and distribution. Package dimensions, hinge performance, closure features, and cavity design are tailored to the device and intended workflow.

  • Living hinge and two-piece clamshell configurations
  • Press-fit and friction-fit retention features
  • Visibility for product identification and inspection
  • Compatible with sterile and non-sterile packaging systems
  • Custom cavity layouts for devices and accessories
