All About Casters for Medical and Healthcare Environments

Improving casters in healthcare facilities can reduce noise, enhance patient satisfaction, and prevent employee injury by driving ergonomics.

Learn more from our healthcare/medical content hub below by accessing our FREE whitepaper, solutions brochure, videos and more.

Healthcare Challenges and Pain Points

We understand the challenges and pain points of our healthcare partners because of our decades of experiences partnering together.

The resources and links below are in place to help aid in combatting these challenges:

MINIMIZING NOISE

Medical carts can be noisy when rolling on improper casters. Noise level reduction of 10% or more is common when implementing correct caster solutions.

MAINTAINING A CLEAN ENVIRONMENT

Patients' perception of cleanliness can influence their feedback on HCAHPS surveys. This can impact medical facilities' brand/reputation.

AVOIDING DOWNTIME

Medical carts rolling on faulty casters can lead to downtime caused by out-of-service carts or time needed to swap casters

FLOOR PROTECTION

Low-grade wheels can mark and damage floors. High-quality non-marking wheels dispel debris to reduce work required for floor upkeep.
