ABSTRACT:
An irrigation-debridement-repair tray or caddy of a generally rectangular shape having a liquid-impervious body with a plurality of sterile or disinfectable liquid-permeable horizontal work surfaces and a means of draining fluid therefrom, which is useful during treatment of the extremity of a medical patient. The caddy is provided with two slidable and removable horizontal support surfaces spaced vertically apart from one another on runners fixed to the inside walls of the caddy, permitting medical personnel to begin treatment on the one of the surfaces and to complete treatment on the other sterile or disinfected surface. The caddy has semi-circular cut-outs at opposite longitudinal ends thereof for receiving the extremity to be worked on, with a protective lip over each such cut-out for improved patient comfort. In one embodiment of the invention the caddy itself is formed of telescopingly-mated wall sections allowing the medical personnel to readily extend or contract the length of the tray or caddy in accordance with the length of the extremity being treated. During the treatment, any irrigation fluid or the like will simply drain through the support surface onto the bottom of the tray, which may have gutters or the like directing fluid into a waste receptacle by means of a drain tube attached along a select area of the tray bottom.
