Sieve tray with meshwork structure for sterilizing medical items
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11918388B2) discloses a unique sieve basket designed for disinfecting or sterilizing medical items. The sieve basket features a bottom with a meshwork surface structure created by periodic corrugations or indentations/bulges formed by longitudinal and transverse struts running in parallel and undulating in a wave form. The apertures on the bottom have a rectangular shape, forming a three-dimensional roof shape towards the interior and exterior of the sieve basket.
Furthermore, the patent claims detail the construction of the sieve basket bottom using longitudinal strut pairs and transverse strut pairs, with intersecting struts forming wave crests and troughs evenly distributed across the surface. The design includes bottom nodes arranged in a grid structure, projecting towards the interior and exterior of the sieve basket, providing contact and fixation surfaces for the items placed inside. Additionally, the wave patterns of the struts result in a meshwork surface structure without the need for weaving, enhancing the efficiency of the disinfection or sterilization process for medical items.
