IMPROVED MEDICAL INSTRUMENT SHIELD AND POUCH FOR MICROWAVE STERILIZATION Abstract A container for sterilizing objects contained in a pouch (20, 66) is provided with shield portions (30, 32) having flexible wiping fingers (42) located on at least one side edge portion (44) of a peripheral edge (40) of one of the shield portions (30, 32).
