A perforated band slides around the cylinder wall: opened, steam reaches the contents in the autoclave; closed, the sterilized load stays sealed in storage.
A sterilization drum is a one-piece, cylindrical stainless-steel canister with a lid, used to hold dressings, gauze or instruments through steam sterilization and the storage that follows. A belt of round perforations runs around the drum's side wall, covered by a sliding metal band; the band is rotated open to expose the perforations during the autoclave cycle, then rotated shut immediately afterwards to seal the drum until it is opened for use. That sliding band is what separates it from a rigid sterilization container, which is sealed through a filter or valve set into the lid instead.

Quality control
The inspection step is set by the line you order.
- Clinical
- Every piece inspected: finish and hand-finishing, polish, edges, size, shine and overall structure, and the buyer's own design or logo where one is specified. Anything that does not meet the specification is corrected rather than passed.
- Premium and Executive
- Every piece inspected: finish and hand-finishing, polish, edges, size, shine and overall structure, and the buyer's own design or logo where one is specified. Anything that does not meet the specification is corrected rather than passed.
Finish A color is a second choice, made on top of the line. Colored finishes on request, on any instrument, in addition to the steel line. Evidenced: black · gold · rose gold · blue · rainbow (anodised titanium).
How it is built
- One-piece cylindrical stainless-steel body with a lid closed by a clip-type lock
- A belt of round perforations runs around the side wall
- A sliding metal band rotates to open or close the perforations
- Two carrying handles, one on each side

Main product
This article is one version of a product with a full specification page.
Material and quality
| Line | Steel | Origin | Finish | Inspection |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Clinical | AISI 202 | Pakistani or Taiwanese | Bright / mirror polish | Every piece inspected: finish and hand-finishing, polish, edges, size, shine and overall structure, and the buyer's own design or logo where one is specified. Anything that does not meet the specification is corrected rather than passed. |
| Premium and Executive | AISI 304 | German or Japanese | Bright / mirror polish | Every piece inspected: finish and hand-finishing, polish, edges, size, shine and overall structure, and the buyer's own design or logo where one is specified. Anything that does not meet the specification is corrected rather than passed. |
This is the steel each line is made from as standard. A different origin can be supplied on request (a lower grade in Japanese steel, for example), agreed on your order.
Both grades are stainless steel, and the line you order is what sets which one you get: AISI 202 on a Clinical order, AISI 304 on a Premium or Executive one. Hollowware starts at Clinical: there is no Economy line in these two grades. AISI 304 resists corrosion better. Neither is hardened by heat treatment, so neither is harder than the instrument grades.
Premium is the line where the choice is yours: 420 or 440C, agreed on your order. Economy is always 410 and Executive is always 440C. Those three are the instrument steels. Hollowware and sterilization containers are made in AISI 202 on a Clinical order and AISI 304 on a Premium or Executive one, and they are not offered in the Economy line at all, which is the section above.
True of every order
Instruments are marked to the buyer's requirement (TGI, unmarked, or the buyer's own brand), agreed on the order.
Customized packaging is part of what TGI supplies. Your own printed boxes, your labels, your brand on the pack, or plain export packing, whichever your market needs. The packing for your order is agreed with you and confirmed on the order.
Manufactured under the quality management system covered by TGI's ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 13485:2016 certificates. Certificate numbers and the issuer's registry are on the certification page. Open the certificates
Every batch of steel is ordered to a specified grade and arrives with the mill's own certificate, which identifies the mill and states the grade. TGI checks the material at the factory against its own requirement before it goes into production. That check is TGI's own inspection, not an independent laboratory test.
TGI manufactures in its own factory in Sialkot and also supplies articles made by contracted partner workshops, to TGI's specification. Which applies to a given article is confirmed on your order.
One-year guarantee on Premium and Executive tier instruments, hollowware and sterilization containers: any technical manufacturing defect, including material faults and rust, is replaced free of charge. Damage from handling or accidents is not covered. The year runs from the day the goods leave Sialkot.
If something is wrong with a delivery (a manufacturing defect, or a short or wrong article), tell us on WhatsApp within 7 days of delivery, with a video and photographs of what arrived. Replacement instruments are sent free of charge and dispatched within 24 hours of us seeing them; you pay the shipping, and they reach you as a normal order does.
Damage that happened after the goods left Sialkot is a claim against your carrier. The video of your parcel at the shipping office is sent to you before shipment and is the evidence that claim needs.
