Perforated Mayo Tray

The Perforated Mayo Tray is available in twelve size configurations spanning Article# LS11-037 through LS11-048, with dimensions ranging from 150×100×25 mm up to 450×350×25 mm. The complete range covers 150×100×25, 200×100×25, 220×120×25, 240×140×25, 200×150×25, 250×200×25, 300×200×25, 300×250×25, 350×250×25, 400×300×25, 450×300×25, and 450×350×25 mm. Each tray is formed from medical-grade stainless steel with a notably shallow 25 mm wall depth, shallower than standard instrument trays and a flat perforated base carrying a uniformly spaced grid of circular holes across the entire surface. The perimeter carries a continuous outward-rolled rim that reinforces the tray edge and provides a smooth, non-sharp contact boundary during instrument placement and retrieval.

The perforated mayo stand trays shallow wall depth is a deliberate design feature, keeping all instruments lying flat and immediately visible to the scrub nurse without any vertical search through a deep basin. The mirror-polished interior surface allows fast visual differentiation between instrument types under surgical lighting. Fluid and debris drain freely through the perforated base during decontamination and autoclave cycles. The 450×350×25 mm variant accommodates the broadest instrument layouts for complex surgical cases, while the 150×100×25 mm configuration suits compact specialty setups.

Scrub nurses and surgical first assistants use the Perforated Mayo Tray as the primary instrument presentation surface on Mayo stands during general surgery, orthopedic, cardiovascular, and neurosurgical procedures. The mayo tray sits directly on the Mayo stand frame above the sterile field, holding actively used instruments within immediate reach of the operating surgeon throughout the procedure. The perforated base also supports intraoperative irrigation fluid drainage without tray removal.

Leader Surgical manufactures all twelve variants with consistent 25 mm wall depth, uniform perforation density, and identical rolled rim geometry, producing trays that fit standard Mayo stand frames reliably across every size in the complete range.
