V. Mueller Stainless Steel Sterilization Tray | 10" x 10" x 3" | Model 132566

The V. Mueller 132566 is a robust, medical-grade instrument containment solution engineered for the rigorous demands of the modern sterile processing cycle. Forged from high-quality stainless steel, this tray provides a secure environment for organizing, protecting, and transporting delicate surgical instruments from the operating room to the decontamination suite.

Its compact 10-inch square footprint makes it the ideal choice for "procedural mini-sets," such as basic ENT, plastic surgery, or suture removal kits, ensuring that small-instrument inventories remain centralized and protected from mechanical damage during automated washing and sterilization.

Key Specifications

• Manufacturer: V. Mueller (Cardinal Health)

• Model / REF: 132566

• Product Type: Perforated Sterilization Tray

• Dimensions: 10" x 10.5" x 3.5" (External)

• Material: Heavy-gauge Surgical Stainless Steel

• Design: Perforated Base and Side Walls for Maximum Steam/Fluid Penetration

• Stackability: Designed for efficient storage and shelf-space optimization

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Superior Aseptic Flux: The precision-perforated pattern is engineered to facilitate unrestricted flow of water and enzymatic detergents during ultrasonic or mechanical washing, as well as rapid steam penetration and "dry-time" efficiency during autoclaving.

• Structural Integrity: Unlike lightweight aluminum or plastic trays, the stainless steel construction of the 132566 resists warping and "bowing" under the high temperatures and pressures of repeated sterilization cycles.

• Instrument Protection: The 3.5-inch depth provides ample clearance for taller instruments or stacked layers, preventing delicate tips from protruding and becoming snagged or damaged during transport.

• Ergonomic Handling: Smooth-rolled edges and a burr-free finish ensure safe handling for SPD technicians and OR staff, reducing the risk of glove punctures or skin abrasions.

• Corrosion Resistance: The medical-grade alloy is specifically treated to resist pitting and oxidation, even when exposed to the harsh chemicals found in modern decontamination precursors.

Condition & Quality Assurance

• Status: Used – Very Good Condition.

• Physical Inspection: The tray has been thoroughly inspected for structural trueness. There are no significant dents, cracked welds, or sharp burrs. The surface shows minor cosmetic "water spotting" or light scratches consistent with clinical use, which do not affect performance.

• Cleanliness: Shipped in a "clinically clean" state; however, like all reusable surgical hardware, it must be processed through your facility's validated sterilization protocol before its first clinical use.

• Expertise: With over 25 years of experience in surgical instrumentation and containment, Primis Medical verifies that all V. Mueller trays meet the exacting standards required for hospital-grade sterile processing.

Shipping & Handling

• Secure Logistics: Shipped in a reinforced box to maintain the tray's square geometry during transit.

• Fast Dispatch: Ships within 1 business day.
