Medical - Medical: Instruments / Sterilizing equipment
French term or phrase: bécher
This is for a description of sterilizing procedures for rotary equipment in hospitals.

Le ***bécher*** peut être placé en bac à ultrasons pour une action plus rapide

Does "spade" or "beaker" make any sense here?

Clarification request(s) and response
Elizabeth Lyons: 12:30am Feb 9, 2008: I should add that my hesitation with beaker was merely because the other instruments/parts were drills, burrs, reamers, cutters - metal elements, etc., so I wanted to be sure they would switch to beakers which don't seem necessarily to fit the rest of the group. Beaker does make sense per se, however.
