ABSTRACT:
An easily assembled system for handling surgical instruments includes as components (a) a waterproof container sized to fit into a ring of a conventional surgical ring-stand; (b) a waterproof expandable wrap sized to fit over such a ring prior to insertion of the container; and (c) a flexible, pliant, porous cradle, with handles, sized to fit into the container. The floor of the cradle is porous with respect to the sterile solution used to fill the container-cradle combination and into which bloodied surgical instruments are deposited. The cradle facilitates removal of the instruments by containing them when it is lifted out of the container, during which the now murky solution drains completely out of the cradle and into the container. The handles may be strengthened against tearing by three-dimensional curvilinear molding which pre-biases the handles and adjacent portions of the rim against the stress-pattern engendered by lifting significant masses of solids and undrained liquids. The cradle, wrap, and container may be fabricated of sterilization-tolerant material and sterilized in situ after being sealed inside a delivery package, as part of a pre-packaged kit, which provides convenient storability to the system prior to its assembly and deployment.
