A system for storing and sterilizing orthopedic devices in a series of cases that may be attached together to provide a custom type container for a particular end user. The containers have modular compartments for housing the orthopedic devices. The containers may be shipped with the orthopedic devices in a sterilized environment as well as be resterilized in an autoclave for future use. A method of use and inventory control is also disclosed wherein a container using a generic marking system is used on the lid for the container. An inventory control sheet is used to record the part number and manufacturing lot number of the components housed in the compartments. The sheet corresponds to the generic marking system. A more accurate accounting of the inventory is achieved.
