Questions
AI-generated answers, 19 Sep 2026
Are these cassettes meant for single-use or can they be reused in multiple procedures?
The Miltex Thompson Cassettes are explicitly designed as reusable surgical instrument trays. Since they are categorized under surgical trays and lack any single-use labeling or sterilization instructions in the provided data, they are intended for repeated use after proper cleaning and sterilization between procedures.
What are the most common sizes available for these cassettes, and how might that affect my workflow?
The cassettes come in two primary dimensions: 8 x 3 13/16 x 1 1/8 inches (204 x 81 x 30 mm) and 8 x 10 7/8 x 1 3/16 inches (204 x 276.5 x 30 mm). The smaller size is ideal for compact setups or procedures requiring fewer instruments, while the larger size accommodates more tools, making it suitable for complex surgeries or high-volume workflows where space efficiency is critical.
How does the lid design of these cassettes improve usability in an operating room?
The Miltex Thompson Cassettes feature a double-hinged, tuck-away lid, which allows for secure closure while keeping instruments organized. This design prevents accidental spills or dislodging of tools during transport, and the tuck-away mechanism ensures the lid stays neatly contained when closed—reducing clutter on the surgical field and streamlining workflow efficiency.
Are these cassettes compatible with standard hospital sterilization processes, or do they require special handling?
Since the cassettes are reusable and lack any proprietary sterilization instructions in the provided data, they should be compatible with standard hospital sterilization methods (e.g., autoclave, ethylene oxide, or low-temperature plasma). However, it’s always best to verify compatibility with your facility’s specific sterilization protocols to ensure longevity and safety.
How do I determine which advisory committee or product code category this cassette falls under for regulatory or procurement purposes?
These cassettes are classified under the General Hospital advisory committee (HO) and carry the product code KCT in the FDA’s database. This categorization is based on their intended use as reusable surgical trays, which helps streamline procurement, inventory tracking, and regulatory compliance in hospital settings.
