Isolation carts
Isolation Carts are designed to keep the hospital environment safe and sterile when the operators are treating infectious diseases. Typically, these carts are placed outside the patient’s room and they have a distinctive yellow color, so they are easily recognizable.
The main purpose of this kind of trolley is to store and maintain isolated all of the items that doctors and nurses use to cure infected patients such as: gloves, gowns, masks, plastic face shields and shoe covers. Due to this, it is of utmost importance to have a well-organized isolation cart in order to reduce the risk of contagion and the spreading of germs.
Moreover, all of the drawers should be properly labeled with pictures or tags in order to help the medical personnel to quickly identify the contents within each drawer.
Further accessories that can be found in isolation carts are:
– Hand sanitizing station
– Shelf for special waste containers
– Glove dispenser
– Sterilization basin
– Antibacterial protective film
