Claims14
A packaging for an item of medical equipment produced by folding a sheet into a folded configuration so as to form:
- a cradle for receiving a content, wherein the cradle is made of two flaps longitudinally hinged together so as to form a clamp, a cover element hinged on one of the two flaps of the cradle, and first and second means for closing the packaging, wherein the first and second means for closing the packaging are each hinged transversely on at least one of the two flaps of the cradle and the cover element, wherein the first and second means for closing the packaging are designed to be fixed together by simple mechanical engagement between said first and second means for closing the packaging such that, when the packaging is urged to an open configuration, the cover element exerts a force on said first and second means for closing the packaging mechanically engaged with each other, making the first and second means for closing the packaging automatically separate and thus moving the packaging to the open configuration.
