The present disclosure relates to medical packaging for the accommodation of medical supplies. The medical packaging discussed herein has a plurality of panels, including a first panel, a second panel, and a third panel, that are releasably secured together to establish a first sterile environment between the first panel and the second panel for the retention of a first medical supply, and a second sterile environment between the second panel and the third panel for the retention of a second medical supply. The panels are configured for relative movement such that movement of the first panel relative to the second panel reveals the first medical supply without compromising the second sterile environment, and movement of the second panel relative to the third panel reveals the second medical supply. The panels are arranged for sequential separation in accordance with the steps of the procedure in which the medical supplies are employed.

1. A medical package configured and dimensioned to accommodate medical supplies employable during a medical procedure, the medical package comprising: a plurality of panels including a top panel, a bottom panel, and at least one intermediate panel positioned between the top panel and the bottom panel, each of the plurality of panels including longitudinal edges, and transverse edges extending in substantially orthogonal relation to the longitudinal edges, the plurality of panels being releasably secured together such that a first sterile environment is established between the top panel and the bottom panel for retention of a first medical supply and a second sterile environment is established between the bottom panel and the at least one intermediate panel for retention of a second medical supply, the plurality of panels being configured for relative movement such that movement of the top panel relative to the bottom panel reveals the first medical supply without compromising the second sterile environment, and movement of the bottom panel relative to the at least one intermediate panel reveals the second medical supply, the top panel and the bottom panel each being movable about an axis extending along one of the longitudinal edges thereof, the at least one intermediate panel being movable about an axis extending along one of the transverse edges thereof. 2. The medical package of claim 1, wherein the panels are arranged for sequential separation in accordance with a plurality of steps performed during the medical procedure and described in instructions for use. 3. The medical package of claim 2, wherein the top panel is configured and dimensioned to support the instructions for use. 4. The medical package of claim 1, wherein the top panel includes a first tab, the bottom panel includes a second tab, and the at least one intermediate panel includes a third tab, the first tab being configured to facilitate manual manipulation of the top panel, the second tab being configured to facilitate manual manipulation of the bottom panel, and the third tab being configured to facilitate manual manipulation of the at least one intermediate panel. 5. The medical package of claim 4, wherein the at least one intermediate panel includes first and second intermediate panels each including each including longitudinal edges and transverse edges extending in substantially orthogonal relation to the longitudinal edges, the first and second intermediate panels being releasably secured together such that a third sterile environment is established therebetween for retention of a third medical supply. 6. The medical package of claim 5, wherein the first and second intermediate panels are configured for relative movement about axes extending along one of the transverse edges thereof. 7. The medical package of claim 5, wherein the first intermediate panel includes the third tab, and the second intermediate panel includes a fourth tab configured to facilitate manual manipulation of the second intermediate panel. 8. The medical package of claim 5, further including a third intermediate panel releasably secured to the second intermediate panel such that a fourth sterile environment is established therebetween for retention of a fourth medical supply, the third intermediate panel including longitudinal edges, and transverse edges extending in substantially orthogonal relation to the longitudinal edges. 9. The medical package of claim 8, wherein the second and third intermediate panels are configured for relative movement about axes extending along of the transverse edges thereof to reveal the fourth medical supply. 10. The medical package of claim 8, wherein the third intermediate panel includes a fifth tab configured to facilitate manual manipulation of the third intermediate panel. 11. The medical package of claim 1, wherein the panels are fixedly attached to one another. 12. The medical package of claim 1, wherein at least one of the plurality of panels is removable from the medical package. 13. The medical package of claim 1, wherein the panels are foldably interconnected. 14. A medical package configured and dimensioned to accommodate medical supplies employable during a medical procedure, the medical package comprising: a plurality of panels including a top panel, a bottom panel, and at least one intermediate panel positioned between the top panel and the bottom panel, each of the plurality of panels including longitudinal edges and transverse edges extending in substantially orthogonal relation to the longitudinal edges, the panels being releasably secured together to facilitate relative movement between the panels to expose at least one sterile environment retaining a medical supply, the top panel and the bottom panel each being movable about an axis extending along one of the longitudinal edges thereof, the at least one intermediate panel being movable about an axis extending along one of the transverse edges thereof, wherein a first sterile environment is established between the top panel and the bottom panel for retention of a first medical supply, and a second sterile environment is established between the bottom panel and the at least one intermediate panel for retention of a second medical supply. 15. The medical package of claim 14, wherein the panels are arranged for sequential separation in accordance with a plurality of steps performed during the medical procedure and described in instructions for use. 16. The medical package of claim 14, wherein the panels are configured for relative movement such that movement of the top panel relative to the bottom panel reveals the first medical supply without compromising the second sterile environment, and movement of the bottom panel relative to the at least one intermediate panel reveals the second medical supply. 17. The medical package of claim 14, wherein the at least one intermediate panel includes first and second intermediate panels each including longitudinal edges and transverse edges extending in substantially orthogonal relation to the longitudinal edges, the first and second intermediate panels being releasably secured together such that a third sterile environment is established therebetween for retention of a third medical supply. 18.
