Medline Wagner Steriset Half-Size Instrument Sterilization Container w/ Basket

Medline Wagner Steriset Half-Size Instrument Sterilization Container & Basket

The Wagner Steriset Half-Size Container is a high-performance, reusable sterilization housing designed for medium-sized surgical instrument sets. This system utilizes Wagner’s innovative pressure-sensitive valve technology, which opens during the pre-vacuum phase of the autoclave cycle to allow for total steam saturation and closes hermetically during the drying phase. This "filterless" design provides a superior microbial barrier compared to traditional paper filters, ensuring your instruments remain sterile during transport and long-term shelf storage without the risk of filter perforation.

Measuring 11.65" x 10.83" x 4", this half-size aluminum container is the ideal volume for General Minor Sets, Plastic Surgery Kits, or Small-Fragment Orthopedic Trays. The included stainless-steel sterilization basket allows for easy "lift-and-place" instrument management, while the secure snap-lid mechanism provides a tactile and visual confirmation of a sealed sterile barrier.

Clinical & Operational Advantages

• Labor & Supply Savings: Eliminates the ongoing cost of disposable filters and CSR wrap. It also reduces "prep and pack" time by up to 50% compared to wrapping methods.

• Rigid Protection: The aluminum chassis protects expensive surgical instruments from the mechanical damage and "snagging" common with perforated trays and soft-wrap packaging.

• Stackable Efficiency: The flat-top lid design and non-slip feet allow for secure, vertical stacking in the sterile storage room, maximizing shelf space.

• Sustainable Choice: Reduces medical waste by replacing thousands of pounds of single-use polypropylene wrap over the lifetime of the container.

Condition

• Functional Assessment: The snap-lid mechanism is secure and locks with a tight seal. The Steriset valve system is intact and operational. The included basket is structurally sound and seats perfectly within the base.

• Cosmetic Status: Shows visible signs of normal clinical use, including surface scuffs, light scratches, and typical sterilization-related "fading" or patina on the anodized aluminum. These are purely cosmetic and do not impact the sterile integrity or mechanical performance of the unit.
