Browse our comprehensive range of medical holloware including kidney dishes, gallipots, instrument trays, dressing bowls, and lotion bowls. Made from high-grade stainless steel and designed for repeated autoclaving, these essential items are found in every treatment room, theatre, and clinical procedure space across the NHS and private practice.
Available in standard 150mm, 200mm, 250mm, and 300mm sizes, our kidney dishes serve as universal receivers for used instruments, swabs, dressings, and small clinical waste during procedures. Choose from reusable stainless steel for autoclave sterilisation or single-use paper-pulp alternatives for infection-control convenience.
Stainless steel gallipots in graduated sizes from 50ml to 500ml are ideal for holding solutions, lotions, and topical preparations during wound care, minor surgery, and dressing changes. Smooth rolled edges ensure easy cleaning and prevent harbouring bacteria between uses.
Flat-bottomed instrument trays in perforated and solid designs organise your surgical and examination instruments during procedures and sterilisation cycles. Our nesting trays stack efficiently for compact storage, and perforated versions allow thorough steam penetration during autoclave processing.
Round solution bowls, lotion bowls, and sponge-holding basins complete the holloware set for any clinical workspace. Pair them with lotion warmers to maintain comfortable solution temperatures during patient procedures — particularly valued in wound care, podiatry, and dermatology settings.
All reusable holloware in this collection is manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel (typically 18/8 or 304 grade) that withstands repeated autoclave cycles at 134°C without pitting, warping, or corrosion. Every piece is designed with smooth seams and rolled edges for thorough decontamination — meeting the standards expected by CQC and NHS decontamination guidelines.
