Abstract: An instrument organizer having an elongated body member having a base portion and an upper portion. The upper portion includes spaced-apart, upstanding, resiliently flexible support members defining spaced-apart vertical slots along the body member. A plurality of instruments (e.g., medical instruments) can be supported in the slots in an upright manner such that they can be easily grasped and removed from the device when needed. The resilient support members push against the opposite sides of each instrument to hold it in an upright manner and yet enable the instrument to be removed easily.
