An instrument cassette () for handling instruments comprises a body section () for holding the instruments and a radio frequency identifier () readable from a distance away from the instrument cassette (). The radio frequency identifier () of the instrument cassette () facilitates tracing operations, such as for example disinfection, sterilization, reparation, and clinical use, directed to or carried out with a set of instruments handled with the aid of the instrument cassette (). The instruments can be for example medical and/or dental hand instruments.

Instrument cassette for handling instruments

An instrument cassette () for handling instruments () comprises support structures () for mechanically supporting the instruments (), and a shielding structure () for containing operational portions () of the instruments () so that a risk of unintentional touching the operational portions () is reduced. At least one wall () of the shielding structure () comprises channels () for allowing liquid and gaseous substances to flow through the wall. The substances may comprise for example hot vapor used in an autoclaving sterilization process. The channels () are shaped to prevent the operational portions () of the instruments () from protruding through the wall () via the channels (). Thus, there is no need for a high number of very small channels which may be difficult to manufacture in a cost effective way.
