Instrument roll, which consists of a rectangular piece of off-white canvas, with folding flaps at the top, bottom and left sides; the inside of the roll has two cloth straps sewn in, running horizontally; there are also 15 vertical cross loops on each of these straps, which provide slots to hold surgical instruments; the inside of the flap at the left side has two small pockets sewn onto it; the pockets are semicircular with straight, open tops that have rounded flaps that will open or close the pocket; the flaps are secured closed with a loop and a round mother-of-pearl button; when all three flaps are folded in on the instrument roll, it can be rolled up from the right to the left, then secured with a central cloth tie; the tie is sewn onto the central left edge at its centre, creating two lengths of tie to wrap around the roll.
