Kidney Dish Plastic 24cm - Curved Clinical Tray

A plastic kidney dish, 24cm, for holding instruments, swabs and waste during a procedure. The curved shape is the whole design: it sits flush against the body so anything removed from a wound or the mouth goes straight into the dish rather than onto the bed, the bench or the floor.

What a kidney dish is used for

Three jobs, mostly. Holding the clean instruments and swabs a clinician is about to use, so everything is within reach on one tray. Catching what comes off - soiled dressings, removed sutures, swabs - so contaminated items are contained rather than travelling across a clean surface. And collecting fluid or vomit held against the body, which is where the curve earns its keep. Keep clean and used items in separate dishes rather than one; the point of containment is lost if the tray holding the fresh swabs also holds the soiled ones. Plastic dishes are easy to clean but check your own policy on whether they are single patient use or cleaned and reused, and replace any dish that is cracked or scratched, since a damaged surface is no longer reliably cleanable.

Common uses

Dressing changes and minor procedures, dental and podiatry work, aged care and community nursing, sample and specimen handling, and first aid rooms. Keep tongue depressors and cotton buds on the tray for examination and precise application. Stock it with sterile gauze swabs, or browse the wider medical supplies range at MediBC.
