Trays surgical straight with a lid 200 x 150 x 45 0.5 l contains all the instruments and equipment expected to be required to perform the planned surgical procedure. Surgical instruments are removed from the autoclave or sterilizer and placed on the surgical tray. The tray is then sealed and delivered to the operating room.
The general surgical tray is made of stainless steel. This allows the tray to be sterilized in very hot water without damage. The trays are highly polished and have space for most essential surgical instruments. A typical operating room will contain several surgical trays with spare instruments in case they are needed.
In extreme cases, the surgical tray may be made of a non-metallic material. This is typically used when a magnetic environment is present or under certain extreme accident conditions. Composite or plastic back-up trays are used in remote surgeries where the weight of stainless steel can be a hindrance. In addition, some emergency response teams in an emergency may pack non-metal and disposable surgical trays.
The surgical tray allows instruments to be laid out and displayed in an easily recognizable way. This allows the assistant to retrieve the right tool without delay. In case the surgeon is looking for the optimal instrument, a quick glance at the surgical tray will identify all the available instruments at his disposal.
