Systems and methods for sterile delivery of prostheses

A holder for holding a prosthesis, the holder comprising:

• a first custom-shaped holder portion coupled to a second custom-shaped holder portion to define an implant-receiving portion at a first end of the holder, a gripping portion at a second end of the holder, and a furrow disposed between the implant-receiving portion and the gripping portion,
• the implant-receiving portion having an internal surface shaped to grip a custom-shaped corresponding portion of the prosthesis, and an outer surface with a concave curve corresponding to a tooth shape adjacent an implant site for the prosthesis,
• the gripping portion having an indent shaped to receive fingers of a user to releasably grip the custom-shaped corresponding portion of the prosthesis, and the holder operable to distribute gripping force around the custom-shaped corresponding portion of the prosthesis for placement of the prosthesis within a patient, and
• the furrow being circumferentially narrower than the implant-receiving portion and the gripping portion, and the furrow receives a portion of casing when the holder is packaged.
