Abstract
Apparatus for holding medical and other devices while sterilant gas is passed over and through the device. The apparatus comprises an inflatable cuff which inflates by interior pressure as the pressure in the sterilizer chamber decreases, and relaxes as chamber pressure increases, thereby alternately holding the device and exposing its surfaces to the sterilant gas and desorbing gas.
