Abstract
A receptacle for containing medical instruments for sterilization is constructed having first and second broad sides connected along side and bottom edges. These sides are in turn constructed of an outer layer of flexible, durable fabric material, an intermediate layer of a plastic film material forming a barrier to microorganisms, and, in a preferred embodiment, an inner layer of the fabric material. A cuff extends from one of the edges adjacent the opening and is invertable over the opening to close the opening.
