Surgical/procedural instrument trolley

A surgical/procedural instrument trolley is a mobile, open cart designed to securely hold and transport surgical tools between locations within a healthcare setting, such as between the operating room and sterilization areas. Its open shelf or platform ensures easy access to instruments while maintaining a clean, organized workspace during procedures, though it is not meant for procedure execution or sterilization itself.

These trolleys are typically regulated as medical devices based on their intended use and risk level, though classification varies by jurisdiction. They are often supplied as reusable equipment, requiring adherence to infection control protocols, and may be subject to standards ensuring durability and hygiene in clinical environments.
