Abstract
A tray for holding sutures, vessel loops, umbilical tapes, and the like, having a base with a substantially flat upper surface and a lip on one edge thereof for hooking onto a Mayo stand. The flt upper surface of the tray has secured thereto one side of a loop and hook fastener substantially adjacent each side thereof. A plurality of transparent covers are hinged to said base and have the other side of the loop and hook fastener secured thereto in mating fashion with the side of the fastener secured to the upper surface of the tray. Tabs extend outwardly from the tray so that sutures or the like may be looped about the tabs, with the ends protruding at the opposite end. When the transparent covers are folded down, the sutures are removably held by the loop and hook fastener.
