Abstract
The device comprises a housing (12) containing a support (13) from which the sterile objects (11) hang, said objects being placed in rows of holes, a movable selector (14) arranged to allow at least one object to be reached, and an arrangement for sealing said housing. A sealing plate (19) is mounted between the selector (14) and the support (13) and is provided with a central opening (20) and a radial slot (21) designed to cooperate with the holes (22) in the selector (14). The device can be connected to a vacuum pump via the hollow shaft (16) when the sealing plug (26) is removed.
Claims6
A device, for packaging and distributing sterile objects, comprising a substantially cylindrical sterile case, a circular support member being located in said sterile case and being provided with holes in which the sterile objects are to be deposited, a movable selector being rotatable around a longitudinal central axis passing through a center of said support member and comprising at least one hole which can be brought to coincide with a desired sterile object when deposited in one of said holes of said support member, and means for forming a hermetic closure of said sterile case,
- wherein said means for forming hermetic closure of said sterile case comprises at least one closing plate, rotatable around said central axis, with at least one opening provided in said at least one closing plate, said at least one opening is movable to coincide with said at least one hole of said selector to facilitate access to a desired sterile object.
