Catheter Trays — Pattern and Clinical Use
Catheterisation needs a defined sterile field with catheter, lubricant, antiseptic, syringe and drapes laid out in order. The tray provides that field on a trolley and keeps everything within the sterile area. Shallow depth is deliberate — items must be picked up easily without the operator reaching into a deep vessel and risking contamination.
Compartmented trays keep solution separate from dry items, which matters because a wetted drape or swab is a contamination risk. Rolled rims give rigidity so the tray does not flex when carried loaded.

Material, Finish and Quality Control
We forge Catheter trays from 316L austenitic stainless. Rim rigidity is checked so the tray does not flex when carried loaded, and compartment seams verified seamless. Each batch passes Rockwell hardness testing, dimensional checks on rim rigidity and seamless compartments, and visual inspection under our ISO 13485 system before passivation and final finishing. Mirror and satin finishes are both available — satin is usually specified where glare under operating lights is a concern.
Who Sources Catheter Trays From Surgical Star
Catheter trays sell to hospital, ward and community nursing suppliers, and are commonly specified alongside catheterisation procedure packs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are catheter trays shallow?
So items can be picked up easily without reaching into a deep vessel, which reduces the risk of contaminating the sterile field.
What do compartments do?
They keep solution separate from dry items such as drapes and swabs, since wetted materials are a contamination risk.
Do they need lids?
Lidded versions are used where the tray is prepared in advance and transported to the bedside.
Can you manufacture these under our own brand?
Yes — full OEM and private label. We laser-mark your logo and catalog numbers, pack in your branded boxes, and work from your drawings, tech pack or a reference sample, with a pre-production sample approved before any bulk run.
