Prepackaged collections of the devices and supplies (either custom or standard) needed for maternal care during the postpartum and/or perinatal phases of pregnancy. Items in these kits usually include perineal irrigator bottles, underpads, antiseptic towelettes, wipes and cleaners, cool and warm perineal pads, and nursing-bra pads. The kits are frequently supplied in supporting trays (i.e., procedure trays) consisting of a flat-bottomed receptacle with a border around the periphery supporting all the instruments and supplies needed for the procedure; the trays are usually covered or wrapped. Maternal post-partum care kits and trays are used in the care of the mother during the period around and after the delivery of the baby at home, maternity hospitals, and/or other healthcare facilities.
