A two-piece sterilizable vessel is sealed together containing devices and a solution that cleans and/or lubricates devices during heat sterilization. When placed inside a heat sterilizer, the vessel becomes pressurized and isolates the solution from the sterilizer's environment. This vessel has two parts: a base and a top. The base has an internal calibrated reservoir to measure the amount of solution within the vessel. The base's external dimensions, larger than the top, creates a lengthwise tilt of the vessel when placed on a flat surface. The top is positioned lower than the base. The purpose of the tilt is to allow the solution to flow from the reservoir to the vessel's top. This solution immerses the mechanics of the device. After sterilization is completed, the pressure relief valve in the vessel's top is activated to release the pressure within the vessel.
A two-piece sealed vessel containing devices and a solution to clean and/or lubricate devices during heat sterilization. The one piece being of a larger dimension than the other piece would have a reservoir opposite end of the threaded opening and the other piece would have a threaded conduit opposite end of the threaded end.
A sealed vessel isolates the solution from the heat sterilizer's environment as the solution boils and vaporizes the device within the vessel during heat sterilization.
The vessel is made of material to withstand pressure and the temperature of heat sterilization.
