Hollowware and sterilization boxes
Dressing Set & Drum
Also called Schimmelbusch drum · sterilizing drum · sterilization drum · gauze drum · dressing container · drum, sterilisation, lateral eclipses (IFRC/ICRC catalogue name)
A round stainless-steel container with ventilated walls and a movable band, used to steam-sterilize dressings and linen, then store and carry them.
What it is
A round, lidded stainless-steel container that holds gauze, cotton wool, compresses, dressings, surgical towels and theatre linen through a steam-sterilization cycle, then stores and carries them. The wall carries clusters of small ventilation holes and a movable outer band. The vents are opened before the autoclave cycle and closed as soon as the drum comes out, so it can be carried and stored with its holes shut. It is hollowware, a formed sheet-metal container, and is different from a rigid sterilization container system or a perforated instrument box.
Sterile-processing technicians, theatre and ward nurses, midwives and clinicians, in hospitals, CSSD/sterile-supply departments, operating theatres, dressing and treatment rooms, clinics, maternity units, veterinary practices, laboratories, training institutes and field/humanitarian deployments.

What it does
- Holds dressing materials (gauze, cotton, compresses, swabs, towels, linen and gowns) inside the autoclave, so they are sterilized in the same container they are later stored and served from.
- Side ventilation holes let steam reach the packed contents during the cycle.
- The movable band is opened before the cycle and closed on removal, so the drum can be carried and stored with its holes shut.
- Carries a processed load from the sterilizing area to the ward, theatre, dressing room or field site.
- Keeps a dressing supply grouped and identifiable at the point of use, so a nurse opens one drum instead of unwrapping loose packs.

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.
