ABSTRACT An improved sterile container is disclosed for receiving and enclosing an unsterile x-ray cassette holder while the cassette bolder is being used to take x-rays during surgery in a sterile operative field. The improved ster- ile container includes flexible front and back walls which are interconnected along their bottom and side edges and whose top edges define a closable opening for receiving the x-ray cassette holder. The improved container also includes means for properly position- ing the x-ray cassette holder with respect to the patient to be x-rayed so as to obtain optimal x-ray views without unnecessarily exposing any operating room personnel to the x-rays. This novel positioning means comprises a plurality of straps each of which having a strip of adhesive material applied to one surface thereof, and a first zone of adhesive material applied to the outside surface of one of the container walls. In one embodiment disclosed herein, a second zone of adhesive material is applied to the inside surface of one of the container walls for securing the x-ray cassette holder to the container. The upper portion of the second adhesive zone is disposed adjacent to the top edge of the one container wall. The portion of the other container wall, adjacent to its top edge, may be pressed against, and thus secured to, this upper portion of the second adhesive zone so as to close the container along its top edge. Prior to the use of the container, selectively removable, pull-away protective covers overlay the adhesive strips on the straps and the first and second zones of adhesive material.
