Product overview
Instrument sterilization boxes: design and what to specify.
An instrument sterilization box, or cassette, holds instruments through washing, steam sterilisation and storage. A perforated base and lid let steam in, and a lid that closes firmly keeps the instruments together between uses. Many clinics also use a removable inner tray, with or without a silicone mat to hold the instruments in place.
Dimensions are the main variable: the box has to fit the instruments and the user's sterilizer chamber. Lid style, perforation pattern, handle and the tray inside also change from one design to the next. Sterilisation suitability depends on the user's own validated process, so we do not state cycle parameters; we confirm the construction and dimensions against your reference. See the wider dental instrument range for the instruments these boxes hold.
