Abstract
A medical instrument tray has a frame of opposing side and end walls having inner and outer panels. Instrument supports extend across the frame and join to inner panels of the side walls. The instrument supports have pegs separated by a central plateau, radiused sections for supporting round instruments, and slots for supporting a flat handle instrument such as scalpel. Finger slots are provided on the bottom side of the tray to allow the tray to be easily carried with the fingers away from the sharp edges or points of the instruments.
