Abstract
An integral support post body adapted for mounting in an aperture in a bottom plate of a medical device sterilization case, said body comprising a disk-shaped base whose maximum transverse dimension is greater than the maximum transverse dimension of said aperture, a reduced diameter; cylindrical neck; and a generally frusto-conical tip which comprises an extended frusto-conical side wall extending both upwardly in a direction away from said neck and inwardly and a convex top wall of a transverse peripheral configuration which conforms to and merges with the upper extremity of said side wall, the maximum transverse dimension of said side wall at its lower extremity being greater than the maximum transverse dimension of said aperture and the maximum transverse dimension of said side wall at its upper extremity being less than or equal to the corresponding transverse dimension of said aperture, and the axial length of said body being sufficient that the clearance between the undersurface of the top wall of the case and the upper extremity of the top surface is less than the vertical dimension of a medical device to be supported by said body.
