Liquid Proof Tray Covers do double duty in the operatory — flip them poly side up for a smooth mixing surface, or poly side down for quick absorbency during procedures. Made in the USA, these paper/poly barrier covers protect set-up trays from contamination, eliminate the need to scrub trays between patients, and dramatically cut turnover time. With 500 covers per package, you'll have a full supply on hand without constant reordering.
Key Benefits:
-
Dual-Sided Functionality: Poly side up for mixing; poly side down for absorbency — one cover, two uses
-
Liquid-Proof Barrier: Paper/poly construction stops bleed-through and protects tray surfaces from contamination
-
Faster Turnover: Peel and replace between patients — no scrubbing, no disinfecting the tray itself
-
Two Sizes Available: Fits standard Size B (Ritter) or Size E (Midwest) operatory trays
-
Made in the USA: Quality you can count on for consistent performance
-
500-Count Package: Bulk supply reduces reorder frequency and per-cover cost
-
Infection Control Compliant: Supports CDC barrier technique guidelines for operatory surfaces
Size Guide — Choose the Right Fit:
Size B Trays (SKU: 29-31):
- Fits: Size "B" or "Ritter" style trays
- Cover dimensions: 8-1/2" x 12-3/8"
- Common with: Ritter, A-dec, and similar operatory configurations
Size E Trays (SKU: 29-33) — $53.95:
- Fits: Size "E" or "Midwest" style trays
- Cover dimensions: 9" x 13-1/2"
- Common with: Midwest, Pelton & Crane, and similar operatory configurations
Not sure which size you need? Measure your tray surface or check your dental unit model. Size B is the most common for Ritter-style units; Size E fits the slightly larger Midwest-style trays.
How to Use:
-
Select orientation: Poly side up for a smooth mixing surface; poly side down for absorbency
-
Place cover on tray before setting up instruments for the procedure
-
Set up instruments on the covered tray as normal
-
After the procedure, remove and discard the cover along with any contaminated materials
-
Replace with a fresh cover for the next patient — no tray disinfection required between uses
Pro Tip: Keep a dispenser box of covers at each operatory for quick, one-handed access during turnover. Many practices pre-set trays with covers in place to further reduce chair time between patients.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Which side goes up?
A: It depends on your need. Poly side up creates a smooth, non-absorbent surface ideal for mixing materials. Poly side down allows the paper layer to absorb fluids during the procedure. Both orientations provide a liquid-proof barrier.
Q: How do I know if I need Size B or Size E?
A: Size B (8-1/2" x 12-3/8") fits Ritter-style trays; Size E (9" x 13-1/2") fits Midwest-style trays. If you're unsure, measure your tray surface or check your dental unit model number.
Q: Do I still need to disinfect the tray if I use a cover?
A: Per CDC guidelines, barrier-protected surfaces do not require disinfection between patients as long as the barrier is intact and changed between each patient. Always follow your practice's infection control protocol.
Q: How many packages should I order?
A: A busy practice seeing 15–20 patients per day will use approximately one package every 25–33 days. Many practices order 3–6 packages at a time to reduce reorder frequency.
