A package for surgical sutures, comprising - a base member (12, 12.2, 12.3) having a top surface (20, 20.2, 20.3), a bottom surface, an outer periphery and a longitudinal axis, - an outer wall (30, 30.2) extending upwardly from the periphery of said base member (12, 12.2, 12.3), said outer wall (30, 30.2) having an inner surface (32, 32.2), an outer surface and a top, - a plurality of pyramidal shaped standoff members arranged in an oval shape that defines and captures the suture therefore forming a channel for the suture to lie in, said standoff members extending from the inner surface (20, 20.2, 20.3) of the base member (12, 12.2, 12.3), each standoff member having a top, a bottom and an outer surface, said standoff members in conjunction with each other form a suture track area to retain suture, - a flat suture channel cover member having a top surface, a bottom surface and an outer periphery, - said cover member having a plurality of precision holes to lock said cover member to the standoff members of the base member, - an opening in the outer edge of the cover member forming a suture port having a first end and a second end, - needle park means (80, 80.2) located interior to the standoff members and extending from the top surface (20, 20.2, 20.3) of the base member (12, 12.2, 12.3) characterized in that - the inner surface (32, 32.2) of the outer wall (30, 30.2) of the base member (12, 12.2) is a profiled surface consisting of a plurality of bulges (38, 39) extending from the top surface (20, 20.2, 20.3) of the base member (12, 12.212.3) to the top of the outer wall (30, 30.2), - the outer periphery of the cover member has a profiled surface corresponding to the profiled surface of the outer wall (30, 30.2) of the base member (12, 12.2, 12.3). - a base member (12, 12.2, 12.3) having a top surface (20, 20.2, 20.3), a bottom surface, an outer periphery and a longitudinal axis, - an outer wall (30, 30.2) extending upwardly from the periphery of said base member (12, 12.2, 12.3), said outer wall (30, 30.2) having an inner surface (32, 32.2), an outer surface and a top, - a plurality of pyramidal shaped standoff members arranged in an oval shape that defines and captures the suture therefore forming a channel for the suture to lie in, said standoff members extending from the inner surface (20, 20.2, 20.3) of the base member (12, 12.2, 12.3), each standoff member having a top, a bottom and an outer surface, said standoff members in conjunction with each other form a suture track area to retain suture, - a flat suture channel cover member having a top surface, a bottom surface and an outer periphery, - said cover member having a plurality of precision holes to lock said cover member to the standoff members of the base member, - an opening in the outer edge of the cover member forming a suture port having a first end and a second end, - needle park means (80, 80.2) located interior to the standoff members and extending from the top surface (20, 20.2, 20.3) of the base member (12, 12.2, 12.3) - the inner surface (32, 32.2) of the outer wall (30, 30.2) of the base member (12, 12.2) is a profiled surface consisting of a plurality of bulges (38, 39) extending from the top surface (20, 20.2, 20.3) of the base member (12, 12.212.3) to the top of the outer wall (30, 30.2), - the outer periphery of the cover member has a profiled surface corresponding to the profiled surface of the outer wall (30, 30.2) of the base member (12, 12.2, 12.3).
