Instrument Trays

Description

Instrument trays are reusable containers that organize, protect, and transport medical, dental, and laboratory instruments. Made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, they keep sets together from cleaning and packing to the procedure and back to sterile processing. Smooth, deep-drawn walls, rounded corners, and rolled edges prevent snagging wraps and reduce the risk of damage to delicate tips. The trays stack neatly for storage and move easily on carts or in autoclave baskets.

Key features and benefits:

• Stainless steel construction for durability and reliable heat tolerance

• Smooth, non-porous surfaces that wash and rinse quickly

• Rolled edges and rigid walls that protect both instruments and hands

• Optional perforated or solid bases to match drying or soaking needs

• Compatible with common sterilization methods, including steam autoclave, when used with validated facility protocols

• Stackable design to save space on shelves and case carts

• Optional lids, silicone mats, and dividers to keep items from shifting

Typical uses and industries:

• Hospitals and day surgery centers for standardized sets and efficient case turnover

• Dental and orthodontic practices for chairside kits

• Veterinary clinics, tattoo and piercing studios for safe tool handling

• Labs and training programs for sorting components, slides, or small parts

Comparison guidance:

• Versus plastic trays: better heat resistance, longer service life, and more stable dimensions during sterilization

• Versus disposable pouches: faster instrument counting, repeatable layouts, and reduced waste

Care notes:

• Inspect edges, hinges, and welds routinely

• Follow facility cleaning and sterilization instructions to support infection-control best practices

Choose these trays when you want a long-lasting, easy-to-clean solution that keeps instruments organized and ready for the next case.
