Hi Ahmed,

OR Instrument as all other sterile medical items must be packed to ensure aseptic removal at the place of use. This should basically be agreed with the user of the sterilized item.
You can find detailed information on our EFHSS Web pages:
Education - Sterilization Basics: "Packaging Sterile Products" (by Jan Huis).
Search - use key word; "Packaging Material" (by Tim Galekop)
Other excellent articles are:

Happy packaging!
