A silicone milk bath unit for coating surgical instruments with silicone includes a sink where the instruments are submerged in a silicone solution, and a cabinet for drying the instruments. The drying cabinet is divided into a plurality of compartments one above the other, each having a track for slidably receiving an instrument tray containing the silicone coated instruments. A drip tray is disposed beneath each instrument tray and collects the excess solution that drips from the instruments. The drip tray is inclined downwardly toward the rear of the cabinet and is positioned so that liquid dripping from its rear edge avoids falling onto the instruments located in the lower compartments, but instead falls down to the bottom of the cabinet for disposal.

An apparatus for drying surgical instruments or the like coated with a solution, comprising: a housing having a rear wall, a pair of opposite side walls, a top, a bottom wall having a drain opening therein, and door means providing a closure for the front of said housing; a plurality of vertically spaced pairs of horizontally extending first supports on said side walls defining tracks for slidably supporting instrument trays thereon, said instrument trays having a perforated surface that supports the coated instruments and permits excess solution to drip therethrough, each of said first supports having an upright stop portion at its rear edge for limiting the extent to which said instrument trays may be slid rearwardly upon said first supports; a cross member extending between each pair of first supports, each cross member extending longitudinally between the front edges of said pair of first supports and having a downwardly directed flange portion, a plurality of vertically spaced pairs of second supports on said side walls for slidably supporting drip trays thereon, said pairs of second supports located beneath respective pairs of first supports and sloping downwardly and rearwardly so that their rear edges are lower than their front edges; and each of said drip trays includes a lip at its rear edge and an upright wall at its front edge, the lips of downwardly succeeding drip trays being progressively spaced from the rear wall by a greater distance thereby providing a greater space between the lip of the lowermost drip tray and the rear wall than the upper drip trays, and said upright wall extending vertically a sufficient distance to engage the downwardly directed flange portion of said cross members to limit the extent to which said drip trays may be slid rearwardly upon said second supports.
