Abstract
A holder device for holding a plurality of tonometer tips or the like during a disinfection procedure has a top wall, spaced rims extending downward from the top wall to engage a support surface and hold the top wall above the support surface, and handle portions extending upwards from the top wall. The top wall has a plurality of spaced holes of predetermined diameter each configured to hold a tip extending partially through the hole with a lower end of the tip spaced above a support surface. A cover plate is releasably secured between the handle portions at a location spaced above the top wall after loading the holes with tips, and holds the tips in the holes while at least a major portion of the device is submerged in a bath of disinfectant.
