Abstract

See full text

The present invention concerns a container for preventing arcing of a metal object placed therein and subjected to microwave radiation. The surgical instrument container has a first surface having an exterior surface and a support surface and a second surface attached to the bottom having an exterior surface and an inner surface facing the first surface. The support surface and the inner surface define a volume of space into which the surgical instrument is placed therein. The inner surface has a microwave-to-heat transducer that absorbs microwave radiation impinging on the exterior surface of the second surface and converts the absorbed microwave radiation to radiant energy. The microwave-to-heat transducer also prevents substantially all of the microwave radiation impinging on the exterior surface of the second surface from entering the volume of space.
