Material Composition | Hospitals, ICUs requiring lightweight trays | Plastic (ISO 13485 compliant, 0.5mm thickness) ▲ vs Industry Standard Stainless Steel (ISO 5832-1, 0.8mm) | Lightweight (200g ▲ vs 500g steel), non-corrosive, easy to clean. | Base may dent under heavy loads; Advanced uses reinforced plastic (▲ durability). |
Sterilization Compatibility | Reusable in clinics needing frequent sterilization | Autoclave-safe up to 134°C (ISO 17665-1) ▲ vs Industry Standard’s 121°C | Withstands higher temps (▲ for faster cycles), retains shape after 50 cycles. | Base may warp at max temp; Advanced has thermal stability (▲). |
Shelf Life | Hospitals needing long-term storage | 1 year (Base) vs 3 years (Advanced, ISO 11137 compliant) ▲ vs Industry’s 2 years | Advanced offers 3-year storage (▲ for stockpiling). | Base requires frequent replacement; Industry standard lacks extended shelf life. |
Instrument Security | Transport in mobile clinics | Grid spacing: 2cm x 2cm (ISO 14971) ▲ vs Industry’s 3cm | Secure fit for small instruments; Advanced has tighter 1.5cm grid (▲). | Larger tools may not fit Base’s grid; Advanced accommodates varied instrument sizes. |
Visibility & Accessibility | Emergency use in ICUs | Transparent lid (ASTM D1003 clarity) ▲ vs Opaque Industry lids | Quick instrument identification (▲ in Advanced with full transparency). | Lid may fog in humid environments (Advanced has anti-fog coating ▲). |
Portability & Durability | Field surgeries or transport | Base: 200g ▲ vs Industry’s 500g; Advanced: 250g + reinforced handles | Easier to carry (▲ in Base); Advanced adds shock-resistant material (▲ grip). | Plastic may crack under extreme force (Advanced has 50% higher impact resistance ▲). |
