This invention relates to a sterilisation chamber for use in a sterilisation device or the like, said chamber being adapted to enclose goods to be sterilised during a sterilisation process. The chamber has a self-supported structure being essentially manufactured from a polymeric material. This invention also related to a sterilisation device, being provided with a sterilisation chamber, in which a sterilisation process is intended to be performed, wherein the chamber is as described above. The above construction has, among other things, the advantage that it provides for a cool outer surface of the sterilisation device, since the heat is isolated in the chamber, due to the isolating properties of the polymeric material. This reduces the risk of burning for the personnel using the device if he or she touches the housing of the device.
