Contaminated material is shredded and bulk loaded from above autoclave vessel, directly into cylindrical wire mesh basket inside of vessel. Basket capacity exceeds 80% of volume of vessel. Path of thermal conductivity through contaminated material is reduced by inner sleeve along axis of basket. After completion of sterilization, top of autoclave vessel is opened, and basket containing sterilized material is removed by hoist positioned above the vessel.
