Given the frequent movement of medical devices, casters need to be highly durable to withstand extended use and the wear and tear of various environments.
In hospitals, especially in wards or operating rooms where a quiet environment is necessary, casters should be low noise to avoid disturbing patients'rest or interrupting surgical procedures.
Casters should be easy to operate, allowing smooth rotation and positioning to facilitate quick and safe equipment mobility for medical staff.
As medical equipment often requires cleaning and disinfection, caster materials should resist corrosion from disinfectants and other chemicals.
Casters need to have sufficient load capacity to support the weight of various medical devices, including hospital beds, X-ray machines, ultrasound equipment, etc.
Locking Mechanism: Many medical casters are equipped with locking mechanisms to secure equipment in place when needed. These locks prevent the casters from rolling, ensuring stability during use.
Provide convenience for moving hospital beds, especially in emergencies when patients need to be quickly transferred to operating rooms or other treatment areas.
Allow for quick adjustment of surgical equipment positioning according to the needs of the operating room.
For devices like electrocardiogram (ECG) machines and ultrasound machines that need to be moved frequently between different wards for examinations.
The selection and design of medical equipment casters should consider the environment, type of device, and specific operational requirements. The right casters can significantly enhance the efficiency and safety of medical services.
