Instruments Box with Hooks

The Instruments Box with Hooks is available in twelve size configurations spanning Article# LS11-065 through LS11-076, with dimensions ranging from 170×70×30 mm up to 450×250×50 mm. The complete range covers 170×70×30, 180×80×40, 200×100×40, 200×100×50, 220×120×50, 250×150×50, 250×200×50, 300×150×60, 300×200×50, 350×250×50, 400×200×100, and 450×250×50 mm. Each box features a rectangular stainless-steel body with a flat-profile lid secured by two instrument box with wire lock hook-latch closures mounted on opposing short-end walls. The hook mechanism consists of a wire-formed bail that loops over a fixed pin on the body wall, producing a firm, rattle-free closure that resists accidental opening during transport and autoclave pressure fluctuations.

The box body carries straight vertical walls with a flat base, and the lid sits flush against the rim through a direct contact edge without any recessed channel. The box hook design wire latches swing fully clear of the box profile when opened, allowing unobstructed lid removal and replacement without tool use. Wall thickness scales proportionally across all twelve variants — the 400×200×100 mm configuration maintains the same structural rigidity under instrument load as the compact 170×70×30 mm version. The matte-brushed exterior finish runs uniformly across the lid and body, and all variants tolerate repeated steam autoclaving and chemical disinfection without latch deformation.

Sterile supply technicians, scrub nurses, and theater managers use the Instruments Box with Hooks for secure instrument set containment during sterilization, inter-department transport, and sterile storage across general surgery, orthopedic, and neurosurgical service lines. The hook-latch closures provide a positive seal confirmation that solid-lid boxes with gravity-fit covers cannot offer, making these boxes particularly valued in facilities with high instrument transit volumes.

Leader Surgical produces all twelve variants with consistent hook-latch geometry and uniform body dimensions, ensuring reliable closure performance and sterilization compatibility across every size in the range.

What is the purpose of the hooks in this box?
The built-in hooks (often referred to as wire locks or clips) serve two primary functions: they secure the lid to prevent accidental opening during transport and they help fixate instruments in place to prevent shifting or damage during the sterilization cycle.
