The invention proposes a disposable multi-vessel receptacle having a plurality of vertically oriented hollow vessels for the receipt of laparoscopic instruments. Planar top and bottom retainers are used to rigidly retain the hollow vessels in a fixed, laterally spaced-apart relationship. The retainers and hollow vessels comprise an internal assembly. The internal assembly is contained within an exterior enclosure. Flaps are provided on the exterior enclosure as a means for enclosing the internal assembly from the outside environment, and thus maintain internal sterility. Prior to packaging and distribution for use, the multi-vessel receptacle and its contents are thoroughly sterilized.
