Prepackaged collections of the devices and supplies (i.e., either custom or standard kits) needed during obstetric delivery and labor. Items in these kits usually include sterile gowns, gloves, needles, syringes, anesthetics (e.g., lidocaine), basins, scissors, scalpels, cord clamps, obstetric pads, and drapes. 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. Delivery and labor procedure kits and trays are intended for use during labor and subsequent delivery of the baby and placenta from the uterus through the vagina to the outside world (i.e., obstetric delivery). They are mainly used in maternity hospitals and occasionally in other healthcare facilities.
