Abstract: A container having a base and a removable lid. Latches are attached to the lid for securing the lid to the base. Each latch includes a guide part secured to the lid and a slide part guided by the guide part between a closed position engaging the base and an open position spaced from the base.

Abstract: A sterilization container for sterilizing, storing and transporting medical instruments is provided with a collar-shaped base, a lid, and a removable bottom received within the base. Circumferentially spaced channels are provided on the walls of the base which receive removable inserts which not only secure the bottom against upward movement relative to the base but also provide landings to support insert trays received within the container. The inserts can also be provided with slots that support dividers within the container.

Abstract: An instrument bracket, primarily for holding medical instrumentation, having a clip part which is mountable to a plate and a holder part. The plate may form a part of a sterilization tray or similar container. The clip part is of an inverted U-shaped configuration having spaced upwardly projecting legs. The clip part fits about the holder part which is flexible and shape retaining and which includes a recess to accommodate the instrumentation. The clip part compresses and retains the holder part and is secured to the plate.

Abstract: A sterilization tray for supporting medical instrumentation during the sterilization process. The tray includes a base having a perforated bottom wall to allow the passage of sterilization steam into the tray. A removable floor is fitted into the base and supported spacedly above the base bottom wall. The floor also includes perforations to allow for the passage of sterilization steam into the tray and above the instrumentation therein. One or more instrument holders are supported by the floor, extending upwardly from the floor in a direction opposite the location of the base bottom wall. The instrument holders can be removed from the floor with the floor being removed from the base, reversed in orientation and fitted into the base in its spaced relationship from the base bottom wall. The instrument holders are then repositioned upon the floor, extending upwardly from the opposite side of the floor.

Abstract: A tray for housing medical devices such as instruments or implants. The tray includes a base having a plurality of pocket-like compartments to accommodate the devices. Individual inner lids are pivotally connected to the base and are each adapted to overlie a compartment in the base. The lids may be individually secured over the compartments or, alternatively, the top of the tray when secured over the base would overlie the lids so as to prevent their opening.
