Abstract
An improved holder and protector (10) for sterilizable instruments is disclosed which comprises two layers (12) of heat fusible, reticulated foam material joined to define a plurality of open-ended pockets (18) for receiving instruments and a cover flap (22) for folding over the instruments and pockets to protect them. A strip (20) of the layers below the pockets is fused to provide a smooth surface on which indicia of the contents of the pockets may be provided, as by manual printing.
