Abstract
A rack for holding at least one surgical screw is described. The rack comprises a body in which at least one bore is provided and at least two support elements surrounding the bore. The support elements protrude from a first level defined on or in the body and are configured to support the screw head on a second level above the first level. The support elements are spaced apart from each other to define spaces therebetween for enabling fluid communication between the surface and the bore. Further, a system is described comprising the above mentioned rack and one or more surgical screws accommodated in the rack.
