What are the trays called that are used to safely pass instruments between providers?

The term "Instrument Passing Trays" accurately describes the trays specifically designed for the safe transfer of surgical instruments between healthcare providers during a procedure. These trays facilitate efficient communication and teamwork in the operating room by ensuring that instruments are organized and easily accessible.

The use of these trays minimizes the risk of contamination and allows for a streamlined process as instruments can be passed quickly and safely, maintaining the flow of the procedure while adhering to infection control protocols.

Other terms like "Safety Trays," "Transport Trays," or "Procedure Trays" do not specifically refer to the function of passing instruments between providers. Instead, they may imply different purposes, such as general transport of items or specific procedural setups, which do not encompass the critical aspect of instrument transfer during surgical operations.
