ABSTRACT:
A surgical tray attachment for expediting the performance of wound cleansing, surgical operations, and the taking of X-ray pictures of a patient's extremity while the patient is resting on a conventional surgical table. The tray is formed of an X-ray-transparent material and is of generally rectangular configuration projecting laterally relative to the surgical table and providing adequate room for a surgeon to function efficiently on either side of the tray. A clamp is provided for mounting the inboard end of the surgical tray to the support rail commonly provided on surgical tables. The medial portions of the tray are provided with a plurality of vertical passages for draining cleansing fluids from the surface of the tray. Depending lugs are provided on the underside of the tray for selectively mounting an X-ray film cartridge in contiguous relationship to the bottom surface of the tray, or alternatively, mounting a fluid-collecting trough for collecting fluids draining through the vertical passages and directing such fluids to a suitable receptacle.
