What is claimed is: 1. A container for use in holding, sterilizing and delivering medical devices and implants comprising: a perforated floor having a plurality of floor holes, said floor forming a cavity to receive medical devices and implants; a perforated cover having a plurality of apertures being removably mounted to said floor; a plurality of mounts with proximal ends movably mounted to said floor within said cavity at said holes; a plurality of brackets mounted to said mounts to removably hold medical devices and implants to said floor within said cavity; and, handle assemblies mounted to said floor and having fixed portions extending over said floor and further having movable portions movable from a first position apart from said fixed portions to a second position beneath and adjacent to said fixed portions, said movable portions in said second position between said cover and said fixed portions when said cover is mounted to said floor to releasably hold said cover to said floor; and wherein: said cover includes a pair of handle openings; and, said assemblies include hook shaped top ends fixedly mounted to said floor that extend from beneath said cover and through said handle openings, said movable portions include wire bails pivotally mounted to said floor and positionable between said hook shaped top ends and said cover to releasably hold said cover on said floor. 2. The container of claim 1 wherein: said assemblies include flexible portions having bottom ends mounted to said floor and top ends with said wire bails mounted thereto isolating said cover from any lifting force applied to said wire bails, said flexible portions bendable as said wire bails move from said first position to said second position. 3. The container of claim 2 wherein said floor includes: feet extending beneath said floor. 4. The container of claim 3 wherein: said cover includes an outwardly facing surface with nesting portions formed thereon to removably receive said feet allowing stacking of containers. 5. A container for use in holding, sterilizing and delivering medical devices and implants comprising: a perforated floor having a plurality of floor holes, said floor forming a cavity to receive medical devices and implants; a perforated cover having a plurality of apertures being removably mounted to said floor; a plurality of mounts with proximal ends movably mounted to said floor within said cavity at said holes; a plurality of brackets mounted to said mounts to removably hold medical devices and implants to said floor within said cavity; and, handle assemblies mounted to said floor and having fixed portions extending over said floor and further having movable portions movable from a first position apart from said fixed portions to a second position beneath and adjacent to said fixed portions, said movable portions in said second position between said cover and said fixed portions when said cover is mounted to said floor to releasably hold said cover to said floor; and wherein: said mounts are bracket posts with distal ends and further comprising a fixture with a plurality of fixture holes alignable with said floor holes, and further comprising a plurality of hollow fixture posts mounted to said fixture at said fixture holes, said fixture posts sized to receive said bracket posts for mounting said bracket posts to said floor. 6. The container of claim 5 wherein: said distal ends of said bracket posts are alignable with said apertures of said cover to allow support of said bracket posts by said cover. 7. The container of claim 6 wherein: said proximal ends extend through and project outwardly of said floor; and, further comprising, mounting devices including external clips positionable adjacent and outwardly of said floor removably holding said bracket posts to said floor. 8. The container of claim 7 wherein: said brackets include passages in which said bracket posts extend mounting said brackets thereto atop said floor. 9. The container of claim 8 wherein said apertures are aligned with said floor holes. 10. The container of claim 9 wherein: some of said floor holes and apertures are open to allow fluid flow there through. 11. A container for use in holding medical devices comprising: a tray with a bottom wall and upwardly extending side walls forming a cavity to receive medical devices, said bottom wall including a plurality of bottom wall holes extending there through to allow fluid flow; a cover removably mountable to said tray with cover holes to allow fluid flow; a plurality of brackets removably mounted to said bottom wall; a pair of handle assemblies mounted to said tray with at least one of said assemblies including: a rigid hook shaped member mounted to said tray and extending above said cavity; a stretchable member mounted to said tray; a handle mounted to said stretchable member and movable by stretching said stretchable member to position said handle immediately beneath and adjacent said rigid hook shaped member to allow lifting forces applied to said handle to be applied to said hook shaped member, said cover when mounted to said tray having a slot through which said hook shaped member projects upwardly there through forming a recess between said hook shaped member and said cover in which said handle is positionable holding said cover to said tray. 12. A container for holding medical items comprising: a tray with a perforated bottom wall and upwardly extending side walls forming a cavity to receive medical items, said tray having a hook extending above said cavity, said hook forming a recess; a perforated cover removably mountable to said side walls and having a slot through which said hook is extendable forming a recess between said lid and hook; brackets removably mounted to said bottom wall within said cavity to hold medical items; and, a handle movably mounted to said tray and having a portion positioned beneath and against said hook to transfer handle lifting force to said hook and tray, said portion positioned between said hook and said cover when said cover is mounted to said tray to hold said cover to said tray while isolating said cover from handle lifting force. 13. The container of claim 12 and further comprising: a stretchable member mounted to and between said tray and said handle, said stretchable member has a stretched position when said portion of said handle is located beneath and against said hook biasing with said hook said portion of said handle within said recess. 14. The container of claim 12 and further comprising: a plurality of posts with distal ends and proximal ends with said proximal ends removably mounted to said bottom wall, said posts extending through said brackets holding said brackets within said tray; and, fasteners mounted to said distal ends of said posts holding said brackets to said posts and extendable into said cover. 15. The container of claim 12 wherein: said brackets are produced from silicone and are supported along their height from said bottom wall of said tray to said cover, said brackets including openings to loosely receive and hold medical items. 16. A container for holding medical items comprising: a tray with a perforated floor and upwardly extending side walls forming a cavity to receive medical items, said tray having a hook extending above said cavity, said hook forming a recess; brackets removably mounted to said floor within said cavity to hold medical items; a handle movably mounted to said tray and having a portion positioned beneath and against said hook to transfer handle lifting force to said hook and tray; a plurality of posts with distal ends and proximal ends with said proximal ends removably mounted to said floor, said posts extending through said brackets holding said brackets within said tray; fasteners mounted to said distal ends of said posts holding said brackets to said floor; a stretchable member mounted to and between said tray and said handle, said stretchable member has a stretched position when said portion of said handle is located beneath and against said hook biasing with said hook said portion of said handle within said recess. 17. A container for holding medical items composing: a tray with a perforated floor and upwardly extending side walls forming a cavity to receive medical items, said tray having a hook extending above said cavity, said hook forming a recess; a handle movably mounted to said tray and having a portion positioned beneath and against said hook to transfer handle lifting force to said hook and tray; and, a stretchable member mounted to and between said tray and said handle, said stretchable member has a stretched position when said portion of said handle is located beneath and against said hook biasing with said hook said portion of said handle within said recess.
