Universal Metal Filter Retention Plate for Sterilization Container Round 7-1/4"

Universal 7-1/4" Round Metal Filter Retention Plate

The Universal Filter Retention Plate is a critical safety component for rigid surgical sterilization containers. Measuring 7-1/4 inches in diameter, this plate is designed to fit the standard circular filter ports found in the lids and bases of most major container brands. Its primary function is to lock disposable paper filters securely in place, creating a perfect peripheral seal that prevents microbes from bypassing the filter media during post-sterilization cooling and storage.

Crafted from corrosion-resistant medical-grade metal, this plate features a precision-perforated pattern that allows for maximum steam penetration and rapid drying while providing the structural rigidity needed to withstand repeated high-vacuum autoclave cycles without warping.

Key Features

• Diameter: 7-1/4 inches (Standard Universal Size)

• Compatibility: Fits most standard circular openings in surgical-grade rigid containers.

• Intended Media: Designed for use with Disposable Paper Filters ONLY.

• Material: Heavy-duty, medical-grade stainless steel or anodized aluminum.

• Design: Multi-perforated for optimized steam flow and moisture evacuation.

Clinical & Operational Advantages

• Eliminates Filter Bypass: Ensures the filter remains flat and centered, preventing "pathways" for bacteria to enter the container after the sterilization cycle is complete.

• Pressure-Resistant Seal: Maintains a constant clamping force even during the intense "pulsing" phases of a prevacuum steam sterilizer.

• Standardized Workflow: The universal 7-1/4" design allows Sterile Processing Departments (SPD) to maintain a single inventory of retention plates that work across various container fleets.

• Enhanced Drying: The perforated geometry promotes efficient condensate drainage, helping to reduce the incidence of "wet packs" in heavy instrument sets.

Condition

• Status: Used – Usable Condition (USED-SI).

• Quality Assessment: This retention plate has been previously used in a clinical environment. It shows visible signs of wear consistent with prior usage—such as minor surface scratches or typical sterilization-related patina—but it remains perfectly flat with no bends or structural deformities.

• Sterilization Note: This item is provided non-sterile. It must be professionally cleaned and autoclaved per your facility's validated protocols prior to being installed in a container system.

Warranty

• ✔ Primis "Flush-Seal" Guarantee
