ABSTRACT:
A containment tray includes a contoured cradle having a floor surface and a drain portion, an entrance portion, a support portion situated between the entrance portion and the cradle, a raised rim, and a lower rim. The raised rim is provided around the cradle and support portion and provides splash protection from the fluids which drain into the cradle and a surface upon which a physician may stably rest his hands when performing surgery on a head or other body appendage held within the cradle. The lower rim provides stability for the containment tray as it rests on a surface. One preferred aspect of the containment tray is that the containment tray is made from a substantially transparent material, thereby not inhibiting the ability of a physician to view a wound or surgical site. Another preferred aspect is that the cradle is sloped toward the drain portion to facilitate drainage. A non-permeable closed cell foam may also be provided on the floor surface of the cradle.
