Why Choose This Sterilization Tray?

Proper instrument care begins with organized sterilization. This small‑format tray is engineered to meet the unique needs of ophthalmic practices where instruments are delicate, high‑value, and used in high volume. The perforated design ensures thorough steam penetration for reliable sterilization, while the raised edges and dividers protect fine tips from bending or blunting during handling and transport.

By keeping micro‑instruments neatly arranged and protected throughout the sterilization cycle, this tray extends instrument lifespan, reduces repair costs, and supports efficient sterile processing workflows—critical in busy surgical settings.

Available in standard small size or custom dimensions to fit your autoclave and instrument sets. Optional lids, dividers, and laser‑etched labeling are available for further customization.
