An instrument tray is a flat, shallow container used in a medical or surgical setting to hold and transport surgical instruments, supplies, and other medical equipment. Instrument trays are typically made of stainless steel, plastic, or another material that is easy to clean and sterilize.

They come in a variety of sizes and shapes and may have features such as raised edges, compartments, or instrument holders to keep items organized and in place during transport. Instrument trays are an essential tool in operating rooms, clinics, and other medical facilities, allowing for efficient and organized transport of instruments and supplies during procedures.

They also help to maintain a sterile environment by keeping instruments and supplies separate from other items in the operating room.
