| Abstract | The plastic medical tray is commonly used for medical device packagings such as the implant or surgicalinstruments. The tray can be undergone gamma-ray exposure to sterilizing the medical devices inside. The traykeeps medical devices free from micro-living organisms and protects them from contaminated externalenvironments. The plastic sheet is usually used for producing the tray which turns into a final tray shape usingthermoforming. During the tray design process, factors such as the dimension of medical devices, ergonomics,and strength, have to be taken into consideration. Computer-Aided Design/Three-dimensional Printing(CAD/3DP) technologies were applied for verification of the tray geometry whereas finite element methods areapplied for strength analysis. Three-dimensional (3D) models of the tray, which are referenced from the dimensionof medical device, were 3D printed to test ergonomics for operating room (OR) nurses handling. After that, 3Dmodels were evaluated the strength to ensure safety during delivery. From the analysis, the geometry of the traywas appropriate for handling with sufficient strength. The bottom corner of the tray is a critical point since itpresents a high-stress magnitude. The load of 54.6 kg-f deforms the tray was less than 0.5-mm, confirming thevertical stack storage. |
