Roundfin RD-GT1

In hospital mortuary and pathology placements that operate body-washing workflows ahead of viewing, identification, or release, the RD-GT1, delivered through Medigear.uk, supports fluid drainage during body preparation without requiring transfer to a dedicated washing table. NHS Estates teams sourcing through Medigear.uk specify the RD-GT1 as the body-washing speciality inventory, alongside RD-FT universal trays, in the standard mortuary tray procurement set, supporting HTM 20-04 mortuary refrigeration and infection-control workflow requirements at trust scale.

In forensic pathology and coronial workflows, where post-mortem body washing is part of the standard preparation procedure, the RD-GT1 supports the drainage of body fluids during the wash directly through the integrated water hole into an external drain or collection container. The groove plate forms channels that direct fluids toward the water hole, reducing splash and supporting infection-control protocols during CQC inspections and HTM-aligned audits.

For independent funeral homes, funeral services groups, and embalming centres where body washing and embalming preparation are routine workflows, the RD-GT1, delivered through Medigear.uk, provides a specialised tray that supports dignity, infection control, and operator workflow efficiency. The large bilateral handles support a firm two-staff grip during tray repositioning, and the 40 mm edge height contains fluids without restricting access to the body during preparation.

In mass-fatality response, pandemic-response, and field-deployment scenarios where body washing must occur in temporary mortuary stand-up operations, refrigerated containers, or tented facilities without dedicated washing tables, the RD-GT1 supports field-portable body washing with integrated drainage. Medigear.uk supplies the trays to coronial overflow teams and trust contingency stockpiles as part of the standard mortuary tray procurement set alongside RD-FT universal trays.

Integrated Water Hole for Body-Washing Fluid Drainage

The RD-GT1's defining feature is the integrated water hole, which sets it apart from every other Roundfin Morgue Series tray variant. During body washing, embalming preparation, and post-mortem cleaning, fluids drain through the integrated hole into an external drain or collection container — supporting infection-control protocols and reducing splash during the procedure. This is the procurement-determining specification for trusts and funeral businesses operating routine body-washing workflows.

Groove Plate Form Channels Fluids to Drainage

The groove plate, formed into the tray plate, creates a controlled drainage channel that directs fluids systematically toward the integrated water hole. Compared to flat-plate forms, where fluids spread across the entire tray surface, the groove design provides fluid pathways during washing — supporting cleaner operator workflow, reducing splash onto surrounding surfaces, and enabling easier post-procedure cleaning of the tray itself.

Two Large Bilateral Handles for Carry and Tilt Operations

The RD-GT1 carries two large SUS304 stainless steel handles (450 × 105 mm each) on the narrow sides — substantially larger than the small handles on the RD-FT universal default. The larger bilateral handles support a firm two-staff grip during longer body carries between preparation areas and host equipment, and enable controlled tilt operations during drainage, when the tray must be angled toward the water hole. The bilateral configuration leaves the long sides clear for two-staff body access.

Three SUS304 Thickness Variants Matching the RD-FT Load Ladder

The RD-GT1 ships in three SUS304 stainless steel thickness variants — 1.0 mm, 1.2 mm, and 1.5 mm — with corresponding rated load capacities of 150 kg, 180 kg, and 230 kg, respectively. The thickness ladder matches the RD-FT universal default exactly, supporting trust standardisation on a single thickness specification across mixed-variant tray inventory. A thickness of 1.2 mm is the default for NHS Trust procurement.

Maintains Universal Roundfin Equipment Compatibility

Despite the groove plate form and integrated water hole, the RD-GT1 maintains the universal Roundfin 1940 × 580 mm dimensions — meaning the tray loads into every Roundfin mortuary refrigerator chamber, storage rack tier, and lifting trolley position. The 40 mm edge height (vs the RD-FT's 50 mm) does not impact equipment compatibility. Dual-use beyond the primary preparation application is supported.

SUS304 Stainless Steel Construction Tolerates Body-Washing Disinfection

Construction is SUS304 stainless steel throughout — tray plate, handles, water hole, and edge structure — and tolerates routine chlorine-based wipe-down, hospital-grade chlorhexidine, isopropanol disinfection, and intermittent immersion in body-washing operations without surface degradation. The SUS304 corrosion-resistance specification is particularly relevant given the RD-GT1's primary use case in environments with routine fluid exposure.

8-Pieces-Per-Case Export Plywood Packaging for Bulk Procurement

The RD-GT1 ships in export-quality plywood cases, 8 per case, with packing dimensions of 2010 × 610 × 800 mm and a gross weight of 150 kg per case. Bulk-order procurement supports trust-wide standardisation across multi-site mortuary networks with consolidated freight overhead, and plywood-case packaging supports international shipping for distributor-framework procurement at scale.

Pairs With RD-FT in the Standard Mortuary Tray Procurement Set

For trusts running mixed Roundfin equipment fleets, the standard mortuary tray procurement set combines RD-FT universal trays as the primary body-holding inventory with RD-GT1 speciality trays as the body-washing inventory. The two variants share thickness specifications, SUS304 construction, and the universal 1940 × 580 mm dimensions — simplifying inventory management while providing both routine holding and specialised preparation capabilities.

Groove-Plate Body Tray With Integrated Water Hole

The RD-GT1 is the groove-plate body tray variant in the Roundfin Morgue Series tray family — sized to the universal Roundfin 1940 × 580 × 40 mm dimensions, with a drainage channel formed into the plate and an integrated water hole for fluid collection during body washing.

Three SUS304 Stainless Steel Thickness Variants

The RD-GT1 ships in three thickness variants: 1.0 mm for a 150 kg load rating, 1.2 mm for a 180 kg load rating, and 1.5 mm for a 230 kg load rating. All three variants share the 1940 × 580 × 40 mm dimensions, a 2-handle bilateral configuration, and SUS304 stainless-steel construction.

Two Bilateral Large Handles (450 × 105 mm Each)

Each tray carries two large SUS304 stainless steel handles — one on each narrow side, measuring 450 × 105 mm. The large bilateral configuration supports a firm two-staff grip during body carries and controlled-tilt operations during drainage.

Universal 1940 × 580 mm Tray Length and Width

The tray measures 1940 × 580 mm in length and width — Roundfin's universal dimension shared across the full mortuary refrigerator range, storage racks, lifting trolleys, walk-in racks, and lifting tables. The shared dimension supports equipment compatibility despite the specialised platform.

40 mm Edge Height for Fluid Containment

The 40 mm edge height contains fluids during body washing without restricting access to the body during preparation. Slightly lower than the RD-FT default's 50 mm edge height, supporting easier two-staff body access during preparation procedures.

SUS304 Stainless Steel Construction Throughout

Tray plate, handles, water-hole structure, and edge are constructed from SUS304 stainless steel — tolerating routine chlorine-based disinfection, hospital-grade chlorhexidine, isopropanol, and intermittent body-washing immersion without surface degradation.

150 kg Load Capacity at 1.0 mm Thickness

The 1.0 mm-thick RD-GT1 carries a 150 kg static and dynamic working load — suited to standard-population body washing under cost-sensitive procurement specifications.

180 kg Load Capacity at 1.2 mm Thickness

The 1.2 mm-thick RD-GT1 carries a 180 kg static and dynamic working load — the most common NHS Trust procurement default for routine body-washing workflows.

230 kg Load Capacity at 1.5 mm Thickness

The 1.5 mm-thick RD-GT1 carries a 230 kg static and dynamic working load — supporting forensic pathology and bariatric body washing applications where structural rigidity under heavy loading is required.

Compatible With Full Roundfin Morgue Series Equipment Range

Despite the specialised groove plate form and integrated water hole, the tray remains interchangeable across the full Roundfin mortuary refrigerator range, storage racks, lifting trolleys, and walk-in racks. Dual-use capability between washing and routine body holding is maintained.

8-Pieces-Per-Case Export Plywood Packaging

Trays ship in export-quality plywood cases at 8 pieces per case, with packing dimensions of 2010 × 610 × 800 mm and a gross weight of 150 kg/net weight of 135 kg per case across all three thickness variants.

Pairs With RD-FT Universal Tray in Standard Procurement Set

The RD-GT1 is the body-washing speciality inventory in the standard Roundfin mortuary tray procurement set — typically paired with RD-FT universal trays at a ratio of one case RD-GT1 to two to four cases RD-FT, depending on body-washing workflow volume.

Customisable Tray Dimensions, Water Hole Position, and Material

Roundfin offers RD-GT1 customisation across body tray sizes, handle configurations, material thicknesses beyond the standard three variants, and water hole sizing or positioning for specific external drainage configurations. Medigear.uk handles OEM specification and bulk-order coordination.

Material Certifications and Load Test Documentation

Each tray ships with material certifications confirming the SUS304 stainless steel grade and load test documentation matching the published 150 kg, 180 kg, or 230 kg rating for the ordered thickness variant. Documentation supports NHS Estates procurement audit and CQC inspection evidence.

Bulk-Order Procurement Support

Medigear.uk handles bulk-order coordination, consolidated freight, and staggered delivery scheduling across multi-site trust mortuary networks. Procurement orders exceeding 6 cases typically include RD-GT1 and larger quantities of RD-FT  in the standard mortuary tray procurement set.
