Sterilization & Instrument Wire Mesh Basket is used for holding surgical, dental and laboratory instruments through washer-disinfector, ultrasonic and steam-autoclave cycles. ISO 13402 is the reference cited for it on drawings, datasheets and purchase orders.
What ISO 13402 Means for Sterilization & Instrument Wire Mesh Basket
The dimensions in the table below are supplied to suit ISO 13402. Where the standard sets requirements for the finished appliance, device or system, compliance testing of that assembly stays with its manufacturer; we supply the metal mesh part to the drawing and can provide material certificates and dimensional reports with the shipment.

Specifying Sterilization & Instrument Wire Mesh Basket Beyond the Standard
- 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.
When Sterilization & Instrument Wire Mesh Basket Is Not the Right Choice
Not a sterile barrier — baskets must be wrapped or placed in a container.
