Abstract
A hinged sterilizable disposable container for magnetizable surgical instruments which has relatively large upper and lower portions connected by sides of a relatively narrower dimension. A non-deformable outer case is provided for retaining the instruments entirely within the case and precluding any tendencies for said instruments to protrude from the case. Magnetic means are provided which completely cover the interior portion of the case and retain any magnetizable instruments placed within the case.
