Abstract
Tray system, as introduced by Charnley for his operation of hip replacement, or in fact any system which provides a sterile set of instruments and drapes for any invasive procedure, is now a standard practice. It must be appreciated, however, that until the tray system was adopted it was customary to have a collection of instruments laid out for the whole operating session, often lasting several hours! The table was covered with a sterile drape which was lifted as the instruments were taken or added to.
