A package for containing a medical device can have a bottom portion and inner and outer lids releasably sealed to the bottom portion. The bottom portion defines a cavity for receiving a medical device. A flange extends outward sidewalls of the bottom portion and includes an inner flange portion and an outer flange portion. The inner flange portion can be recessed below the outer flange portion. The sealed inner lid permits passage of sterilization. The outer lid provides a moisture-resistant barrier to the package. A corner portion of the outer lid can extend past a corner of the bottom portion. Upon application of a withdrawing force sufficient to break the seals, the inner lid and the outer lid are together capable of being peeled from the bottom portion.
