Patent attributes
The present invention is a rack device designed to improve the cleaning process of surgical instruments by efficiently holding many surgical instruments at once. The rack is designed to hold surgical instruments by their finger rings in an open configuration for ease of cleaning the instrument. The racks include end stops on each arm allowing the rack to be turned upside down without the instruments sliding off for better access to the instrument's jaws during manual cand ultrasonic cleaning. The open configuration also allows for easier application of lubricants to the instruments. The rack is made of connected members that form a stable base and instrument holding arms. The rack incorporates a rack holder with a handle and a mount opening that allows the entire rack to be easily transported, placed into a cleaning device, hung up to dry, sprayed with products and easily located when packing surgical kits.
