A package for holding a medical item such as a joint prosthesis part and maintaining the same in a double sterile state includes an inner package and lid each receiving a snap-in insert, a film cover sealing the inner package and lid combination, an outer package containing the combination and a second film cover sealing the outer package. Complementary recesses and lugs are formed on the lid and inner and outer packages to hold these units together. The inserts are provided with projections to engage and cradle the packaged item. A range of inserts is provided to permit the packaging of items of various sizes and configurations without otherwise modifying the package. Alternatively, either the inner package or the lid may include an integrally formed projection and a single insert is carried by the other one thereof.
