ABSTRACT:
A surgical instrument case suitable for autoclaving and instrument presenting to the surgeon during surgery comprising a container formed to include an interior region, cradle means for holding a variety of surgical instruments attached to the bottom of the container to be in the interior region; and a top. The top, when it is open, provides support means for propping the instrument case at an acute angle to the horizontal to provide easy access to the instruments by the surgeon while minimizing handling, the top being hingedly attached to the container. The cradle means is formed to include notches of various size to accommodate instruments of various sizes in laterally spaced-apart, upwardly extending positions when the instrument case is opened and propped up.
