Tray organizers?

I'm curious, has anyone had any experience using tray organizers (or something to organize/standardize OR trays ) in their OR?

At my hospital we use these large bulky old fashion trays containers with a stringer for some instruments (clamps, scissors etc) a foam roll for some others (pickups , knife handles, ruler) and then the rest of are usually randomly placed into the tray (retractors and what not)

I'd be amazed if something far more efficient doesn't exist, to organize trays better, make initial counts faster, and make setting up the sterile field faster (as well as with room turnover and what not)

Anyone ever use or work with anything along that line?

    We have a few, usually for specific manufacturer's implants such as orthopedic implants. However, I doubt they are cost effective- considering that just the exterior pan itself can cost $600, hospitals aren't looking to spend the additional money on customized inserts. Seeing as how most scrubs will also set out instruments according to both their preferences and in what order the surgeon uses them, the customized inserts would be used anyway.
