Metal Baskets

Metal baskets and sterilization trays are essential accessories for organizing, protecting, and efficiently sterilizing laboratory instruments, glassware, and medical devices during autoclave and dry heat sterilization cycles. Constructed from stainless steel, perforated metal, or wire mesh, these baskets ensure uniform heat and steam distribution, facilitate drainage, and allow for safe handling of sterilized items. Metal baskets come in various sizes and configurations, including rectangular instrument trays, cylindrical baskets, mesh-bottom trays, and stackable modular systems. Perforations or mesh designs allow steam penetration and condensate drainage in autoclaves, ensuring thorough sterilization without moisture retention. In dry heat sterilizers, metal baskets provide stable support and allow hot air circulation around all surfaces of the load. These accessories are used to organize surgical instruments, pipettes, test tubes, Petri dishes, forceps, scalpels, and other laboratory tools during sterilization. Proper organization prevents instrument damage, maintains sterility during handling, and improves workflow efficiency by enabling batch processing. Many baskets include removable lids, handles for safe transport, and dividers to separate instruments by type or usage. Sterilization trays are also compatible with wrapping materials, sterilization pouches, and chemical indicators for validation and traceability. They are widely used in hospitals, dental clinics, veterinary facilities, pharmaceutical labs, research institutions, and biotech companies where sterile instrument management is critical. Metal baskets are durable, corrosion-resistant, and designed for repeated autoclaving or dry heat exposure. They support compliance with infection control protocols, Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), and regulatory standards. Stainless steel construction ensures longevity, chemical resistance, and easy cleaning, making these accessories a long-term investment for sterile processing departments. By sourcing pre-owned metal baskets and sterilization trays from Wasteless Bio, laboratories and healthcare facilities benefit from cost-effective, sustainable solutions for instrument sterilization. Each listing includes specifications such as material type, dimensions, perforation pattern, load capacity, and compatibility with autoclave or dry heat systems. Metal baskets and trays are indispensable for safe, efficient, and compliant sterilization workflows.
