A surgical instrument tray or a basin is generally used while performing dermatosurgery procedures. The disadvantage of using this conventional tray is the lack of separate compartments which often leads to mixing of the various items making it inconvenient while locating and picking up the needed instrument or syringe. Often more than one tray or basin may be needed.

To overcome this disadvantage, we, hereby, present the use of a regular Indian dinner plate with recesses or compartments (known commonly as ‘thali plate’) as a substitute to the conventional surgical tray
