Buy Instrument Tray System in Nigeria.

Which instrument trays and baskets can I request a quote for in Nigeria?

There are four exact product records in this category. Open a brand-and-model-filtered listing to review each one:

- GPC Medical MT659 wire-mesh tray/basket
- GPC Medical ITS35 tray with cover
- STERIS PW1002 tray and cover
- STERIS PW1002HPT perforated tray

The MT659 record represents a model family with several manufacturer-listed item codes and sizes. ITS35 is likewise a family with size codes. PW1002 and PW1002HPT are two distinct STERIS references: the former is listed as a tray and cover, while the latter is a perforated tray. These are not four complete surgical sets. They are accessory tray/basket listings, and the inventory assignment does not establish current stock, delivery, a quoted size or compatibility with a particular facility’s process.

If you already have a tray schedule, use the exact model and size code rather than only saying “instrument tray.” If you are building a schedule, first have sterile processing and clinical engineering identify the instrument set, load arrangement and process documentation required. The complete instrument tray and basket category is a starting point for that comparison.

Is an instrument tray the same as a sterilization container?

No. A tray, basket or organizer holds, separates and arranges reusable instruments. A packaging system or sterilization container has a separate role in containing the processed load and, where it is designed and validated to do so, preserving the sterile barrier until use. An open wire basket is clearly not a closed barrier. A solid tray with a lid is still not automatically a validated rigid sterilization container. The exact manufacturer’s intended purpose and instructions decide what the item does.

This distinction matters for GPC ITS35 and STERIS PW1002, both of which are listed with covers. A fitted cover can help contain or protect contents in handling, but the product description alone does not show that it has a validated barrier system, seals, filters or valves. Do not use a tray lid as a substitute for a required wrap or reusable rigid container unless the manufacturer’s documentation explicitly supports that role for the selected sterilization method and facility workflow.

ANSI/AAMI ST77 covers containment devices used for sterilization, including reusable rigid sterilization containers and instrument organizers. ISO 11607-1 concerns materials, sterile-barrier systems and packaging systems intended to maintain sterility for terminally sterilized devices. These standards have related but distinct scopes; their names do not certify any item listed here. Ask for the exact product’s declarations, instructions and compatibility evidence. If your requirement is a closed container with filters or valves, state that specifically because none of these four catalogue descriptions establishes that it is included.

WHO’s MEDEVIS description of trays, baskets and sterilisation tubs also treats them as a product class within the wider reprocessing workflow. Keep the function clear in your specification: an organizer for processing, a sterile barrier for storage and presentation, or both, if manufacturer-validated for the intended use.

How do the four listed instrument tray models differ?

The GPC Medical MT659 is a stainless-steel wire-mesh tray or basket. GPC describes grade 304 steel, double-bar protection at the top and bottom, and drop-down handles. The manufacturer lists 16 item codes and dimensions, including 20 x 10 inches with depths from 1.5 to 4 inches; 19 x 9 x 2 inches; 19 x 10 x 3 inches; 16 x 8 inches with depths from 1.5 to 4 inches; 10 x 10 inches with listed depths of 1.5, 2, 4 and 8 inches; and smaller 10 x 6 x 2 and 10 x 5 x 2 inch sizes. Ask for the exact item code because the general model number does not select one of these sizes.

The GPC Medical ITS35 is a reusable stainless-steel tray with cover. GPC lists grade 202 and says it is autoclavable; grade 304 is a made-to-order option subject to a minimum order quantity. Listed dimensions include 200 x 150 x 48 mm, 225 x 125 x 50 mm, 225 x 150 x 48 mm, 275 x 175 x 48 mm, 300 x 200 x 48 mm, 300 x 250 x 48 mm, 310 x 195 x 63 mm, 350 x 250 x 63 mm, 375 x 300 x 63 mm, 450 x 300 x 63 mm and 480 x 330 x 30 mm. Codes range from ITS35.20 through ITS35.48 with gaps. The GPC source currently lists ITS35.48, but Franance’s ITS35 record contains codes only through ITS35.45. Specify ITS35.48 directly if required and have Franance confirm it before treating it as an offerable catalogue variant.

STERIS lists PW1002 as an instrument tray and cover measuring 25 x 17 x 5 cm. Its tray range is described by STERIS as stainless steel, but confirm the material and current specifications for this specific reference. PW1002HPT is listed by STERIS as a perforated tray at the same nominal 25 x 17 x 5 cm size. It is a separate model, not merely another name for PW1002. The perforated construction may be relevant to fluid and sterilant movement, but it does not by itself establish a validated load or process.

The four products are not interchangeable just because they are trays. They differ in mesh/perforation, cover configuration, dimensions, materials and available size selections. Confirm exact item, delivered contents, finish and item-specific documentation before accepting a quote.

Which tray material and size should I specify?

First size the tray around the approved instrument set and the constraints of your workflow. Measure the instruments and proposed arrangement, then check usable interior dimensions, not only the outside dimensions. Include height or depth, lid clearance, handle projection, rack spacing and the space required to load or remove the tray safely. A model’s nominal length and width do not establish its usable internal volume or how a particular device fits.

For an MT659 basket, select the exact item code and all three dimensions. GPC lists multiple lengths, widths and depths; “MT659” alone leaves the size unresolved. For ITS35, select the size code rather than just “ITS35.” Specify whether the quoted material should be grade 202 as listed or grade 304, and ask the supplier to confirm any minimum quantity, cost impact and lead-time implications. Do not assume the grade option is available in a single unit or that all variants share identical features.

For STERIS PW1002 and PW1002HPT, both catalogue descriptions state 25 x 17 x 5 cm, but one is a tray with cover and the other is a perforated tray. Ask whether that dimension is external, confirm current manufacturer specifications, and check the fit against the tray rack, washer and sterilizer chamber. Confirm whether the cover is included, removable and intended to travel with the load in the way your process requires.

Material selection is a facility requirement, not a simple 202-versus-304 ranking. Ask the manufacturer to document the exact alloy/grade, finish, corrosion resistance claims and compatibility with cleaning agents, washer chemistry, water quality, temperatures and cycle conditions in your facility. Confirm inspection and service-life recommendations. The GPC pages are the source for their stated grades and options; STERIS range statements should not be stretched into a model-specific grade or a claim of universal chemical compatibility.

How do I check tray and load compatibility with the sterilization process?

Build the compatibility check around the complete load. Identify every instrument and accessory in the set, their material and geometry, their manufacturer instructions, the intended cleaning method, packaging, sterilizer, cycle, tray and rack. Ask the facility’s qualified sterile-processing professionals to confirm the proposed arrangement and cycle using the current device and equipment instructions. This guide does not prescribe cycle parameters or approve any configuration.

Compatibility is more than fitting inside the chamber. Consider whether the tray is intended for manual transport, washer-disinfector processing, steam sterilization or another method; whether water and soil can drain; whether the design permits cleaning and inspection; whether the instruments can be arranged without blocking spray, airflow or sterilant access; and whether the packaging and loading arrangement is supported by the manufacturers. CDC guidance says sterilizer loading should allow sterilant circulation; it advises that perforated trays be positioned parallel to the shelf and small items placed loosely in wire baskets. Apply the appropriate current guidance and manufacturer instructions rather than copying a single arrangement to every load.

Check the tray against both the washer rack and the sterilizer’s chamber, shelf and load limits. A tray may fit physically but still be unsuitable for a validated cycle, packaging configuration or instrument set. Confirm whether the tray itself is to be cleaned and sterilized empty, loaded as an organizer, wrapped, placed into a rigid container, or handled in another approved way. The answer depends on the item’s documentation and your facility’s validated processes.

Keep instrument and tray instructions available to staff. FDA describes reusable device reprocessing as specific to each reusable device, including cleaning before disinfection or sterilization and storage or routing afterward. ISO 17664-1 covers manufacturer-provided processing information, while ISO 17665:2024 addresses validation and routine control for moist-heat sterilization processes. These references explain why a product page saying “autoclavable” is not a substitute for the exact instructions, compatible process and facility validation. The applicable quality system and local requirements should be reviewed by your facility; the standards mentioned here are not a declaration that the items listed are certified to them.

Which standards and manufacturer instructions should a facility review?

Review the standards that actually apply to the item and task. ANSI/AAMI ST77 is a containment-device standard covering such categories as rigid sterilization containers and instrument organizers. ISO 11607-1 applies to sterile-barrier and packaging systems intended to maintain sterility of terminally sterilized medical devices. These scopes can inform what documentation to request, but they do not turn an ordinary basket or tray-and-cover into a sterile barrier or prove that a particular product meets a standard.

For reusable instruments and other items intended for reprocessing, request the device manufacturer’s current processing instructions. ISO 17664-1 concerns what processing information manufacturers should provide for critical or semi-critical devices and devices intended to be sterilized. For a moist-heat process, ISO 17665:2024 sets requirements for development, validation and routine control. WHO’s decontamination and reprocessing manual describes the larger facility workflow and infrastructure. CDC’s sterilizing practices guidance discusses packaging, loading and the overall factors affecting delivery of sterile items.

Use these references as context for questions to your sterile-services team. Ask the tray supplier for exact item identification, materials, care and processing instructions, cleaning chemical limitations, cycle compatibility, maximum load or weight if specified, inspection criteria, and evidence for any claimed containment or sterility-maintenance function. Have the facility determine which national rules, accreditation standards, technical standards and local policies apply. A marketing description or category label alone is not proof of compliance.

What should I include in an instrument tray quotation request?

Send Franance enough detail to quote the right variant and let the facility assess compatibility:

1. Manufacturer and exact model: MT659, ITS35, PW1002 or PW1002HPT.
2. Exact item/size code and dimensions; identify whether measurements are required internally or externally if known.
3. Material grade and finish requirement, if specified by the facility; for ITS35, state grade 202 or request grade 304 and ask about minimum order quantity.
4. Construction: wire mesh, solid tray with cover, or perforated tray; identify whether the cover must be included.
5. Instrument set description, quantity and required load capacity or weight, as determined by the facility. Do not send patient-identifying information.
6. Relevant washer, rack, sterilizer, shelf and approved process details that the facility wants checked, plus the required manufacturer instructions or technical documents.
7. Facility name, procurement contact, delivery city and state in Nigeria, required delivery scope, and any inspection or acceptance requirements.
8. Any requested warranty, service, replacement parts or lead-time details to be stated as explicit commercial line items.

Ask the written quotation to identify the exact item code and variant, dimensions, material, contents included, exclusions, price, quantity, quote validity, estimated delivery, warranty/return terms and any service scope. Ask Franance to state whether the required variant is confirmed and whether additional wrapping, a validated container or other packaging is excluded. If a compatibility point is unresolved, keep it open until the instrument, tray, packaging and sterilizer instructions have been checked by the responsible facility professionals.

You can request a quotation for instrument trays from Franance. The enquiry is a quote order rather than online checkout. Franance follows up by phone or email and confirms the actual commercial offer in writing.

Can I buy instrument trays online from Franance?

No. Franance does not take online payment for instrument trays and baskets. Browse the instrument tray category, identify the exact model and size, and submit a quote-order enquiry. Franance follows up to clarify the requested item, quantity, delivery location and any commercial or documentary details, then confirms price, availability and agreed terms in writing.

When requesting a quote from any Nigerian state, include both the city and state and ask for delivery terms for that destination. Do not infer national stock or fixed delivery coverage from a catalogue page. For a facility procurement, share the item schedule and the required documents early so that the exact variant, packaging role and process compatibility can be checked before the order is approved.
