DescriptionThis is a sterilization machine used to sterilize needles for medical procedures. The machine is shaped like a short rectangular box with a hinged lid and feet on each of the corners. It is white and silver, with two small circular caps on the center of the lid which can be removed. A handle comes off of the side of the lid so it can be lifted to show the interior. A metal grate sits inside the container, with a tab on the side to pull the grate up and out.
