The container system includes a container, in particular a medical or surgical sterile container preferably having a tub-like container vessel and/or a container cover; at least one separate coupling element; and at least one coupling system for releasably connecting the coupling element to the container. The coupling system includes a male coupling portion formed on the container and a female coupling portion formed on the coupling element. The coupling portions can be coupled to and uncoupled from one another. The male coupling portion is integrally formed in a wall of the container and is designed as a protruding knob having an undercut.

Abstract: An identification system for medical sterile containers and mesh trays for accommodating medical instruments. The system includes one or more sterile containers, one or more mesh trays, and one or more identification plates. Each identification plate includes an interface. At least one counterpart interface is complementary to the interface and formed or arranged on each sterile container and each mesh tray. The interface and the counterpart interface are designed to retain at least one identification plate on one of the sterile containers or on one of the mesh trays.

Abstract: A receiving sleeve of a tool set includes a hollow body having an end face with an insertion opening for inserting a tool. The hollow body defines a longitudinal central axis and includes a plurality of inner clamping elements spaced apart in a circumferential direction. The clamping elements have punctiform or linear engagement sections at their free, radially inward protruding end portions. The engagement sections make force-fit and/or form-fit contact with the tool for holding the tool within the receiving sleeve at a radial distance from the hollow body. An inner side of the hollow body has circumferentially spaced rigid protrusions that extend axially in rib-like fashion. The inner clamping elements radially protrude further toward the longitudinal central axis of the hollow body than the rigid protrusions.

Abstract: A holding clip is designed to be fixed in a holding contour of a housing part of a sterile container and/or to be removed from the holding contour without tools. The holding clip has at least one at least partly spring-elastic clamping section designed to provide a clamping force to secure the identifying element and at least two holding sections that adjoin the clamping section on both sides and that are designed to engage into an undercut of the holding contour in a form-fitting and/or force-fitting manner. A sterile container can include such a holding clip.

Abstract: A container system includes a container or a sterile container to which an attachment part can be fastened. For this purpose, the sterile container has a fastening portion which is formed integrally with or integrally in a closed container wall of the container, to which the attachment part can be fastened in a positive fit or locked in a spring-elastic manner.

Abstract: The present application discloses a centering aid for a container having a container trough, with an access opening, a container lid and a seal. In the closed state of the container, the seal is arranged between the container trough and the container lid. The centering aid has a first centering device, which is provided on either the container lid or the container trough, and a second centering device, which is provided on the other of either the container lid or the container trough. The first and second centering devices interact in such a way as to ensure that, in the closed state of the container, the seal is in contact with the container trough and with the container lid along the entire periphery of the access opening.

Abstract: A receiving sleeve of a tool set includes a hollow body having an end face with an insertion opening for inserting a tool. The hollow body defines a longitudinal central axis and includes a plurality of inner clamping elements spaced apart in a circumferential direction. The clamping elements have punctiform or linear engagement sections at their free, radially inward protruding end portions. The engagement sections make force-fit and/or form-fit contact with the tool for holding the tool within the receiving sleeve at a radial distance from the hollow body. An inner side of the hollow body has circumferentially spaced rigid protrusions that extend axially in rib-like fashion. The inner clamping elements radially protrude further toward the longitudinal central axis of the hollow body than the rigid protrusions.

A sterile container can include such a holding clip.

Abstract: A receiving sleeve receives surgical instruments. A holding device for storing and cleaning surgical instruments includes at least one receiving sleeve. A surgical instrument set includes a holding device and/or receiving sleeve. The receiving sleeve and the holding device have a light construction which allows the maximum flow of fluid to instruments held in the receiving sleeve or holding device. The receiving sleeve includes a cylindrical hollow body with a plurality of peripherally spaced inner clamping arms which have punctiform or linear engagement sections that are adjusted to come into contact with an inserted tool in a force-fit or form-fit manner for holding the tool within the receiving sleeve at a radial distance to the cylindrical body.

Abstract: A security seal for a medical container includes a seal foot having at least one latch structure movable relative thereto for engaging a mating latch structure formed on the container, and a seal head connected with the seal foot that includes at least one locking tab which is movably connected with the seal head through a hinge element, wherein the security seal includes a bolt element which can be positioned between a release position, in which the latch structure can be moved relative to the seal foot, and a locked position, in which the deformable latch structure is fixed in position relative to the seal foot and/or seal head.

Abstract: A surgical clip includes two clip branches, each clip branch having a clamping portion, an actuating portion, and a flexural spring arrangement by which the two clip branches are coupled to each other preferably in one material piece. The flexural spring arrangement includes a coupling device by means of which selected portions of the flexural spring arrangement can be short-circuited for spring biasing and possibly for varying, preferably reducing, the active total spring length thereof.

Abstract: A phase change material is used for the production of a sterile state indication means for a sterilization container. A sterile state indication means for a sterilization container includes a fluid-tight case containing a phase change material. In this assembly, the case wall of the case includes at least one transparent zone and an activator which can be actuated in order to release an activation energy and/or crystallization seeds.
