Many listings are system trays built to hold one maker's instruments. Stryker, Synthes and Brainlab trays appear in current listings. Orthopedic layouts are common, such as hip and spine trays. Karl Storz trays and endoscope sterilization cases are listed too. ASP Aptimax cases and trays sit alongside them.
Before you buy, measure the shelves and processing equipment the tray must fit. Where a title gives dimensions in inches, compare them with those measurements. For a system tray, the part number helps you confirm which instrument set it was built for. Check the title and photos to see whether the lid, insert or basket is included.
Trays come and go as they sell. Contact Clear Choice Medical with the part number if you have a question about a listing.
Common questions about Instrument Trays
What is an APTIMAX instrument tray?
An APTIMAX instrument tray is a lidded tray made by ASP to hold surgical instruments for processing in its STERRAD systems. ASP makes the trays from liquid-crystal polymer. ASP's brochure says the trays are validated for all STERRAD systems, pre-vacuum steam and ethylene oxide processing. Each tray size has its own product number. For example, tray 13830 measures 18 by 8 by 2 inches. Listing titles often pair the product number with a size in inches, so check both against ASP's size chart. Tray holders and silicone tray mats carry their own product numbers. ASP's mat chart names the tray each mat fits. Mat 99210, for example, fits tray 13830.
What is an endoscopy tray?
An endoscopy tray is an instrument tray laid out to hold rigid endoscopes in place during processing, transport and storage. Silicone grips or plug-in holders inside the tray keep each endoscope from shifting. Some trays are sized for long endoscopes. Healthmark makes bariatric trays that hold one or two long endoscopes, and one measures 26 by 3.5 by 3.5 inches. Some trays are made for a specific device. Stryker, for example, lists its own tray part numbers as compatible with certain 1688 camera heads. Compare the tray length with the overall length of the endoscope it must hold.
What are surgical instrument trays made of?
Surgical instrument trays and their baskets come in stainless steel, anodized aluminum and plastics such as polypropylene. Each maker lists the processing methods its trays are made for. Healthmark, for example, lists some polypropylene trays as compatible with steam. Aesculap marks some anodized aluminum containers for steam and ethylene oxide. Stryker's 1688 camera manual says any tray used must be compatible with the chosen method. When a listing title gives a part number, use it to find the maker's instructions. Then compare the listed methods with the way your department processes sets.
