Polypropylene sterilizable tray
Description
A lightweight, durable medical instrument tray made from high-quality polypropylene with a solid plain base measuring 270 x 150 x 30 mm. Designed for clinical, surgical and aesthetic environments, the tray is 50% lighter than stainless steel alternatives and supports multiple sterilization methods including autoclave (up to 135°C), ethylene oxide, and hydrogen plasma. Smooth edges prevent pouch tearing during sterilization packing, while a moulded grip beneath the rim enhances handling in clinical use.

Delivered non-sterile; must be sterilized before clinical use
Usage
Clean and sterilize the tray before each clinical use using approved methods (autoclave, ethylene oxide or hydrogen plasma).
Ensure tray is dry before placing sterile instruments or materials.
Use gloves and aseptic technique when handling instruments placed on a sterilized tray.
Avoid using abrasive cleaners that may damage the polypropylene surface.
Inspect tray for cracks, warping or damage; discontinue use if any structural compromise is detected.
Contraindications
Do not use for patient contact or invasive procedures.
Do not exceed the maximum autoclave temperature of 135°C.
Not suitable for open flame or dry heat sterilization methods.
Avoid use if tray is visibly damaged, warped or degraded.
Adverse Effects
Risk of contamination if not sterilized properly before use
Potential for accidental instrument slippage if tray surface is wet
Possible deformation if exposed to temperatures above 135°C
Storage Conditions
Store in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight
Avoid stacking heavy items on top to prevent deformation
Keep away from chemicals or excessive heat sources
