  • Medical instrument soaking, transporting and storage container
    Patent number: 5641065
    Abstract: A medical instrument soaking, transport and storage container intended for receiving surgical instruments and containing a cleaning solution or disinfectant for cleaning the instruments. A lid mounts on the bowl for transport of the instruments to a cleaning/decontamination area of a hospital. The lid portion carries a projecting seal that is received in a circumferentially extending groove in an outwardly extending rim portion of the bowl. Accordingly, sealing is effected between the lid and the bowl. A pivoting clasp is mounted on each side of the lid for engagement with the corresponding portion of the bowl, and therefore secures the lid on the bowl for transport.
