| 摘要 |
A container (20, 70, 90) is useful for both transport of new medical instruments (32), and disposal of used medical instruments (30). In a preferred embodiment, the container includes a pair of plates (22, 24, 72, 74), a first of which (24) pivots relative to the other. The second plate (22, 74) is selectively fixed to the container body to limit the opening of the container body when the container is to be utilized for disposal of used medical instruments. The second plate is typically not secured during transport such that it may be moved to provide a relatively large area of access for insertion or removal of medical instruments. Various embodiments of these features are disclosed. |
