Sterilisation Cassettes & Racks

Stainless cassettes, trays and racks that carry instruments through cleaning, autoclaving and storage — infection-control discipline built into the daily routine. The range spans locking cassettes from five to twenty instruments, perforated tray sets, scaler trays and six-piece rack systems, all autoclavable stainless steel sized for standard bench and steriliser footprints. Stocked in Birmingham, dispatched same-day on orders before 14:00, with free UK delivery over £30. Choosing between cassettes and open trays — or sizing a cassette to your instrument count — is exactly what the two reprocessing guides linked below are for, alongside a practical walkthrough of the HTM 01-05 workflow.

Common questions

Which size sterilisation cassette do I need for a basic dental exam set?

A five-instrument cassette fits the classic examination set of mirror, probe and tweezers plus one or two extras, which makes the 180 mm five-instrument cassette the highest-rotation size in most practices, used one per chair per patient. Adding an excavator and a flat plastic moves you to the 18 × 11 cm seven-instrument cassette.

Should I use locking cassettes or open trays for instrument reprocessing?

Locking cassettes hold each instrument in its own rail and stay shut through cleaning, sterilisation, storage and transport, so they suit fixed set-ups such as an examination or extraction set and reduce sharps handling. Open racks suit sets that change case by case; perforated flat trays give bulk capacity for mixed loads.

Will a 15-instrument sterilisation cassette fit a bench-top autoclave?

Measure your autoclave chamber first. The 220 × 195 mm fifteen-instrument cassette is A4-ish in footprint, and a cassette that will not sit flat on the shelf with steam space around it does not belong in the cycle. The 195 × 145 mm ten-instrument cassette holds a forceps-and-elevator selection.
