It is the first surgical instrument holder designed specifically to maximize the efficiency of instrument exchange during surgery. It sits on top of the patient laying on the operating room table and fits the curvature of the average human torso while it places the chambers that hold the surgical instruments at the most natural angle for the hand of the standing surgeon. The size of the chambers is designed so it fits most laparoscopic surgical instruments in use today. It has two openings, an entrance opening and an exit opening. The entrance opening faces the surgeon and designed to enable the surgeon to insert the instrument without having to look at the holder. That enables the surgeon eyes to remain completely focused on the surgical field. That may increase the efficiency of instrument exchange. Which increases the efficiency of the operation. It also prevents the instruments from falling on the floor and the potential to break.
