Stainless Steel Wire Sterilization Basket w/ Handles 21x11x4

Stainless Steel Wire Sterilization Basket | 21" x 11" x 4" | Integrated Handles

This 21-inch extra-large sterilization basket is an essential industrial-grade containment solution for the processing of large-fragment orthopedic sets, laminectomy instruments, or comprehensive general surgery trays. Constructed from high-tensile, medical-grade stainless steel wire, this basket is engineered to withstand the extreme thermal and chemical stresses of automated tunnel washers and high-vacuum steam sterilizers.

Its deep 4-inch profile and open-lattice architecture ensure that even densely packed instrument sets receive total exposure to cleaning agents and sterilants, eliminating "dead zones" where bioburden might otherwise persist.

Key Specifications

• Product Type: Heavy-Duty Wire Sterilization/Processing Basket

• Dimensions: Approximately 21.5" x 11.5" x 4" (Fits standard full-size sterilization containers)

• Material: 304/316 Surgical Stainless Steel Wire

• Design: Fully Welded Open-Mesh Construction

• Handles: Dual Integrated Drop-Down / Fixed Side Handles

• Weight Capacity: High-load rated for heavy orthopedic instrumentation

• Finish: Electro-polished (Reduces protein adhesion and prevents snagging)

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Optimized Hydrodynamic Flow: The wide-aperture wire mesh allows for 360-degree fluid circulation. This is critical during the impingement cycle of a mechanical washer-disinfector to ensure all hinged and serrated instruments are thoroughly decontaminated.

• Superior Steam Penetration & Rapid Drying: Unlike solid-walled trays, the wire-frame design allows steam to evacuate instantly during the drying phase of the autoclave cycle, significantly reducing the risk of "wet packs" and associated contamination.

• Integrated Handling System: Equipped with heavy-duty handles, this basket allows staff to safely lift and transport heavy instrument loads—even when wearing thermal-protective gloves—reducing the risk of dropping or shifting delicate hardware.

• Ergonomic & Safety Focused: Every wire intersection is precision-welded and electro-polished to eliminate sharp burrs, protecting both the expensive surgical instruments and the hands of the sterile processing technicians.

• Stackable & Space-Efficient: The rigid frame and uniform dimensions allow for stable stacking within storage cabinets or on transport carts, maximizing the footprint of your sterile storage area.

Condition & Quality Assurance

• Status: Used – Excellent Condition.

• Physical Inspection: The basket has been verified for structural trueness. All welds are intact, the wire mesh is free of warping or "bowing," and the handles actuate smoothly.

• Surface Integrity: The stainless steel finish is bright and free of pitting, rust, or significant mineral scale.

• Expertise: With over 25 years of experience in surgical containment and processing, Primis Medical ensures that every basket is rigorously inspected for dimensional accuracy and clinical readiness.

Shipping & Handling

• Secure Logistics: Shipped in high-burst-strength double-walled boxes to prevent the basket from being crushed or bent during transit.

• Fast Dispatch: Ships within 1 business day.
