Abstract: A machine for washing surgical and/or medical instruments (1), includes a washing tank (2) designed to receive surgical and/or medical instruments (1) and a door (4) positioned facing the tank (2) so that it can be used to seal the tank or provide access thereto. The door (4) is mounted to a bilateral hinge designed to enable the door to be opened: to a first loading position on the loading side (5) of the machine, in order to provide access to the tank on the loading side (5) and prevent the tank from being accessed on the other side; and to a second unloading position on the opposite unloading side (6) of the machine, in order to provide access to the tank on the opposite unloading side (6) and prevent the tank from being accessed on the loading side (5).
