Abstract

A container (30) for use in sterilizing an object has a first end (35) and a second end (38). The container (30) is suitably sized to receive an endoscopic telescope (45) for sterilization. Once the endoscopic telescope (45) has been inserted into the container (30), a lid (46) having a vapour permeable section (47) is fitted to the container.
The container and object are then sterilized, for example, by autoclaving. After sterilization, use of the container requires a non-sterile nurse in an operating theatre to push the ends (35, 38) together.
A collapsible or deformable portion (42) collapses and the ends (35, 38) move closer together to thereby force the telescope (45) out of the container (30), where it can be removed by a sterile nurse.
