What are medical component handling trays?

Medical component handling trays are custom thermoformed trays designed to organize, protect, and position medical devices and components throughout manufacturing, inspection, assembly, and internal transport. Unlike medical tray packaging, these trays primarily support work-in-process (WIP) handling and movement between production operations.

Custom cavity layouts accommodate specific part geometries and handling requirements, helping maintain component orientation, minimize unnecessary contact, and support efficient manufacturing workflows.

Common design features include:

  • Custom-formed cavities for secure component positioning and separation
  • Repeatable part orientation for manual handling, automated assembly, and inspection
  • Stackable configurations for staging, storage, and internal transport
  • Material options suited to medical manufacturing and cleanroom environments

Medical handling tray applications

Supporting medical manufacturing workflows

Custom thermoformed handling trays accommodate different stages of medical device production, from work-in-process organization to cleanroom transfer and automated assembly. Each tray is engineered around component dimensions, handling methods, and production requirements.

Medical work in process handling tray

Work-In-Process (WIP) Handling

Maintain component orientation, separation, and protection as parts move between manufacturing, inspection, and assembly operations.

Cleanroom transfer tray

Cleanroom Transfer & Staging

Organize and transfer medical components within cleanroom and controlled manufacturing environments while minimizing unnecessary handling.

Automation Integration

Custom cavity layouts provide consistent part positioning for robotic pick-and-place, automated inspection, and assembly processes.

Medical handling tray design, tooling, & manufacturing

Dordan develops custom thermoformed medical component handling trays to support efficient movement, positioning, and protection of parts throughout medical device manufacturing. Our integrated design, tooling, and production capabilities allow tray geometry to be developed around specific handling processes, equipment requirements, and production workflows.

Medical handling trays are engineered in Siemens NX, with prototype and production aluminum tooling CNC-machined in-house using NX CAM. Tray designs incorporate custom cavities, stackable configurations, and repeatable part positioning to support manual assembly, inspection, robotic handling, and automated production systems.

For applications requiring controlled manufacturing conditions, Dordan offers thermoforming within its 3,200-square-foot, hard-wall ISO Class 8 cleanroom. Temperature, humidity, and airborne particulate levels are controlled and monitored to support consistent production conditions for medical manufacturing applications.

Manufacturing is supported by Dordan's ISO 13485:2016-certified quality management system. Project-specific inspection and validation activities, including First Article Inspection (FAI), First Article Validation (FAV), process capability studies (Cpk), and IQ/OQ/PQ process validation, are available based on customer requirements.
