ABSTRACT:
A vacuum-formed storage tray for autoclaving medical and dental instruments includes a base panel surrounded by a plurality of integrally joined sidewalls so as to create an interior storage area. The base panel defines a plurality of sterilant apertures. The base panel and sidewalls are created by a vacuum-forming operation which concurrently creates by vacuum forming a plurality of aperture bosses. The vacuum-formed aperture bosses are closed as formed and must be subjected to a post-forming machining operation to cut off the closed end of each aperture boss. Once the closed ends are cut off, the closed aperture bosses become open sterilant apertures. The creation of a plurality of sterilant apertures by a vacuum-forming operation can replace any drilling operations for sterilant holes and economically allows greater variety as to the style and shape of apertures which can be formed in the base panel of the storage tray.
