Abstract:
A modular medical instrument sterilization container and related methods are disclosed. The container includes a base and a plurality of sidewalls, each being substantially planar and having a consistently repeated cross-section. A plurality of corner posts having a uniform, consistent cross-section is connected between the plurality of sidewalls. A plurality of bottom edge rails having a uniform, consistent cross-section is connected between a sidewall and the base. A plurality of top edge rails having a uniform, consistent cross-section is connected to the sidewall. A plurality of junction connectors are connected between one of the plurality of corner posts and at least one of: two of the bottom edge rails and two of the top edge rails.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for constructing a modular medical instrument sterilization container, the method comprising the steps of:\n cutting a quantity of substantially planar material having a consistently repeated cross-section to form a base and a plurality of sidewalls; cutting at least one corner post structure having a uniform, consistent cross-section, whereby at least a portion of the cut corner post structure forms a plurality of corner posts; cutting at least one bottom edge rail structure having a uniform, consistent cross-section, whereby at least a portion of the bottom edge rail structure forms a plurality of bottom edge rails; cutting at least one top edge rail structure having a uniform, consistent cross-section, whereby at least a portion of the cut top edge rail structure forms a plurality of top edge rails; connecting together each of the plurality of corner post between at least two of the plurality of sidewalls; connecting together each of the plurality of bottom edge rails between at least one sidewall of the plurality of sidewalls and the base, wherein the bottom edge rail is connected to a first edge of the sidewall; connecting together each of the plurality of top edge rails to a second edge of the sidewall, wherein the second edge is opposite the first edge; and using a plurality of junction connectors, connecting each of the corner posts with at least one of:\n two bottom edge rails; and \n two top edge rails.
