Pedipod War Chest — Add-On Tray
PURPOSE
The pediatric orthopaedic fracture add-on tray. It supplements the hospital standard orthopaedic fracture basic set and carries most of Dr. Wey's preferred specialty instruments. This tray is referenced by Cards 1–3 rather than re-listing instruments on each card. Keep it a stable, named add-on: “Pedipod War Chest.” Full tray contents and counts are maintained in the Set Library spreadsheet.
