ABSTRACT:
A device for protecting medical instruments during sterilization and subsequent handling comprising a support member formed with a retaining loop for holding the instrument on the support member. A clear plastic sheet is joined at a portion of the margin of the support member to define a pocket into which the cutting edges of the medical instrument are placed for protection. For jointed instruments, the support member may also have an attached flap which is folded to position between the open handles of the instrument and thereby separate the instrument's cutting edges during the sterilization process.
