Why Stainless Steel?

Stainless steel can resist contact with corrosives such as body fluids. Grade 316 stainless steel is especially resistant to chlorides that would damage regular steel.

In addition to being corrosion-resistant, steel trays are also very strong compared to their aluminum counterparts. This makes stainless steel surgical trays more resistant to damage from an accidental drop.

In short, stainless steel makes for a tougher, longer-lasting medical instrument tray.

Creating the Ultimate Medical Tray

Aside from our selection of stock trays for different medical and surgical applications, Marlin Steel can also create custom-formed stainless steel trays to meet your exacting specifications.

You can submit a custom tray questionnaire detailing:

• Dimensions of your existing trays
• Types of chemicals/bodily fluids most commonly encountered in regular use
• Sanitation processes the trays will be subject to
• Type of finish you prefer (electropolish is very popular in medical applications)
• Desired add-on features (handles, lids, etc.)

Using this information, Marlin’s engineering team will create a design to best meet your needs.

From there, the design is tested against your use conditions with Autodesk virtual physics simulation software. If any weaknesses are found, they’re corrected before the tray is put into production.

Need a precision-engineered custom medical tray? Contact Marlin Steel right away! Most custom tray orders can be completed within 1-2 weeks of the initial order date—stock tray orders typically ship the same day.
