Sterilization & Instrument Wire Mesh Basket is used primarily for holding surgical, dental and laboratory instruments through washer-disinfector, ultrasonic and steam-autoclave cycles. This page lists the industries and assemblies where it is specified, the selection criteria that matter for each application, handling and installation practice, and the cases where a different mesh, screen or filter type is the correct choice. It is supplied to ISO 13402 / EN 868-8 compatible.
Typical Applications for Sterilization & Instrument Wire Mesh Basket
Where Sterilization & Instrument Wire Mesh Basket is specified and bought:
- Hospital sterile processing (CSSD): instrument trays in standard DIN sizes.
- Dental clinics: instrument baskets and cassettes.
- Laboratories: glassware and small-part washing baskets.
- Precision industry: ultrasonic cleaning baskets for small parts.
How to Specify Sterilization & Instrument Wire Mesh Basket for Your Application
- DIN size: 1/1 (480 × 250 mm), 1/2, 1/4 to fit containers and washer racks.
- Mesh opening: 1.5–5 mm; smaller openings stop tiny parts but drain and dry more slowly.
- Finish: Electropolished SS304/316 for corrosion resistance and easy cleaning.
- Standard: Quote ISO 13402 / EN 868-8 compatible and the size designation from the table on the product page, plus any value you changed in the technical drawing.
Handling & Installation Practice
- Do not overload — instruments must not shadow each other from spray and steam.
- Open hinged instruments and place heavy items at the bottom.
Common Selection Mistakes with Sterilization & Instrument Wire Mesh Basket
- Too-fine mesh that slows drying and leaves wet packs.
- Non-electropolished baskets that rust after repeated cycles.
Where Sterilization & Instrument Wire Mesh Basket Is Not the Right Choice
Not a sterile barrier — baskets must be wrapped or placed in a container.
