1. A device for packaging an object, comprising:
a main hollow body, such as a tube or a case, the main hollow body having a first extremity that is closed and a second extremity opposed the first extremity which has an opening that is closable with a closure element,
said closure element being able with respect to the main hollow body to exhibit a closed configuration in which access to the opening of the second extremity of the main hollow body is limited or prevented, and an open configuration in which access to the opening of the second extremity of the main hollow body is free,
wherein the packaging device also comprises a support distinct from said main hollow body and housed inside the main hollow body, said support being configured to accept an object, such as a medical implant;
and in that the support comprises a seat having a through-passage, said through-passage being configured to allow part of the object to extend below the seat, while another part of the object remains resting on the seat,
said packaging device being configured to limit or block the rotation of the support with respect to the main hollow body about the axis of the through-passage of the seat,
and in that the support is configured to limit or block the rotation of at least part of the object about the axis of the through-passage of the seat even when said closure element is in the open configuration and that said another part of the object remains resting on the seat, the object being freely movable along the axis of the through-passage of the seat, to slide axially out of the support and out of the main hollow body through the opening of the second extremity of the main hollow body when the closure element is in the open configuration whilst the support remains housed in the main hollow body.
