A securing device secures a mounting for sterile products or products to be sterilized in a medical container. The securing device has a first securing section, in particular a U-shaped or hook-shaped securing section, which is designed to engage around an edge of a first recess provided on the base of the container in a form-fitting manner, and a second securing section, which is designed to engage around the edge of the first recess and/or at least one second recess in a form-fitting manner from the opposite direction. At least one of the two securing sections is designed to be spring-elastic in order to allow the securing device to be clamped to the base of the container.
