Stapelsystem für Sterilisierschalen

摘要

A storage and sterilization tray assembly for sterilizing, transporting and storing surgical instruments includes a rack 10 having a top 10, a bottom 13 and four sides, and at least one slidably mounted drawer 16 carried therein. At least one of the sides includes at least one pivotally mounted door 20 which is moveable between a closed position in which the at least one slidably mounted drawer is retained in the rack, and an open position in which the at least one slidably mounted drawer may be slid at least partially out of the rack. The door also serves to stabilize the rack against tipping when in its open position. In a preferred embodiment, one or more removable trays 15 are carried in the drawer 16, and the rack includes a plurality of openings in the top, bottom and sides, aligned with openings in the drawer, for permitting ingress and egress of sterilant therethrough.
