Hemostat Organizer

An organizer for a plurality of surgical forceps, wherein each forceps of the plurality of surgical forceps comprises a pair of shanks with distal tips, proximal ring handles, and a ratchet mechanism adjacent the ring handles, the pair of shanks and the ratchet mechanism bounding an opening defined by the forceps when the ratchet mechanism is engaged, the organizer comprising:

• a base comprising a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, the first surface and the second surface being parallel;
• a core extending away from the first surface of the base in a perpendicular direction, the core comprising a perimeter, a first channel at least partially formed in the perimeter, and a second channel spaced from the first channel and at least partially formed in the perimeter, wherein the first channel is oriented parallel relative to the first surface of the base and the second channel is oriented at an angle relative to the first channel;
• and
• wherein when the forceps is disposed in one of the first channel and the second channel, the pair of shanks of the forceps straddle the core.
