Abstract
A surgical tray for transport of a sharp surgical instrument is formed as a shallow, rectangular tray portion with an integral handle extending therefrom. The tray is made as a molded body of relatively lightweight material, such as plastic, and its dimensions are such that the tray portion is adapted to receive a single sharp surgical instrument. The tray portion has a rounded rim at its top end and the handle merges with the rim. The bottom of the tray portion can be formed with ribs to prevent slippage. The upper surface of the bottom of the tray portion can be formed with ribs to facilitate engagement and removal of the sharp instrument. The end of the handle can be flared to prevent slippage of the handle from the hand of the user.
