Healthcare workers in hospitals need to be able to access a wide range of equipment to provide the best care to their patients. However, hospital storage solutions are often limited by the size of the facility, along with safety concerns. That is why innovative new storage methods are constantly being tested and refined.

Four modern hospital storage solutions

Procedure workbench

The procedure workbench allows you to combine your workspace and storage facilities in one convenient location. Available in different sizes and with different combinations of shelves and dividers depending on your needs, the basic configuration is a large, flat surface for carrying out necessary tasks with a cupboard-like space beneath where you can store all necessary equipment. As your needs change, you can adjust the configuration of the shelves again.

These types of workbenches have swivel locking casters to ensure maneuverability between locations but also stability when in use, and they are available with manual or electronic locks for security purposes. Handles can be on one side, both sides or neither depending on whether it needs to be moved regularly or will primarily remain stationary. Powder-coated steel is durable and easy to clean.

Utility cart

Utility carts are designed to maximize portability and efficiency with their locking casters. You can move them quickly through even the busiest and most crowded space, then lock them in place when they reach their destination. From large, double stacked units to the single pull cabinet, they are available in a range of sizes and shapes to suit the demands of different environments, but all are made of resilient and easy-to-clean steel.

They also allow flexibility in terms of the items you choose to store. From drugs, equipment and other medical supplies to documents and patient information, the large drawers have space for everything you might need. The drawers also automatically close themselves and can then be locked, ensuring that important, sensitive or potentially dangerous stores are kept secure.

Procedure cabinet

Procedure cabinets can be tall and narrow, perfect for filling those awkward gaps with an efficient storage solution. They may come with one, two or three bays. Like other forms of hospital storage, the locking casters ensure they can be maneuvered as necessary and manual keys or electronic keypads keep contents secure. Adjust drawers and shelves as required, then remove them again for easy cleaning.

Procedure cart

From code carts to deal with emergencies to anesthesia carts full of surgical supplies and infection control carts loaded with personal protective equipment, the general procedure cart can be modified in many ways to suit a variety of uses. Lightweight and flexible, available in standard or narrow sizes, the procedure cart is one of the most customizable forms of storage solution, and its design allows you to prioritize both hygiene and durability at the same time.

Conclusion

Hospital equipment is sometimes large, often expensive, and can be dangerous if it falls into the wrong hands. Most importantly, it is essential to the well-being of patients. Innovative, flexible storage solutions can help ensure hospitals provide the best care without compromising on space or safety. The best options are those that allow you to reconfigure them according to the specific requirements of your space.
