A Kidney Tray is a curved, bedside dish for clean, controlled collection of fluids, dressings, and small instruments.

Available in multiple sizes and sterilization-friendly materials, it improves hygiene and workflow in wards, clinics, and dental rooms—an essential, reusable tool for everyday patient care.
Description
A Kidney Tray—also known as an emesis basin—is a shallow, kidney-shaped dish used to collect fluids, dressings, and small instruments during examinations and minor procedures. The curved profile rests comfortably against the patient’s body, helping caregivers work cleanly at the bedside or chairside. Durable, easy-to-sanitize materials and rolled edges make it safe to handle with one hand, even when wearing gloves.

How it compares
Versus round bowls or improvised containers, the kidney tray’s contour prevents drips, sits securely against the body, and is easier to carry one-handed. Stainless models tolerate repeated sterilization and maintain appearance, while polymer versions offer lightweight handling and color-coding options.
Quality notes
Select sizes and materials to match local cleaning protocols (e.g., steam autoclave) and labeling practices. Products are commonly supplied to support hospital hygiene routines; confirm exact compliance requirements at ordering.
