There is also the standard perforated instrument trays best used for autoclave and cold sterilization. Cold sterilization is soaking instruments in chemical sterilisants.

A tray liner will be placed on the bottom of the tray, paper for steam sterilization and special foam for STERRAD sterilization. Instrument will be placed in the tray and arranged as to their sequence of use, right to left. Needle and stylets will be protected from damage by threading each though a piece of foam.
