ABSTRACT:
A surgical instrument rack is provided for improving the efficiency, quality, and safety of the processing and delivery of ring-handled surgical instruments. The rack includes a base having opposing front and rear panels, each having multiple slots therein for supporting the instruments. Each slot in the front panel corresponds to one of the slots in the rear panel so that the end of each of the surgical instruments having the ring handles can be positioned in the slot in the front panel and the opposite end of the instrument can be positioned in the corresponding slot in the rear panel. The instruments can thus be held in an upstanding, parallel, side-by-side arrangement. The base also includes apertures therein near the front panel for receiving a spindle such that the spindle may be extended through the apertures and the first ring handles of the surgical instruments to couple the instruments with the base. The rack also includes a rack top having apertures therein for receiving another spindle so that the spindle can be extended through the apertures and the other ring handles of the surgical instruments. The rack top is pivotally connected with the base near the rear panel so that the surgical instruments can be moved between open and closed positions by pivoting the rack top relative to the base.
