Medical casters are casters and wheels designed for use in healthcare settings. Typically, medical casters must be suitable for washdown applications, since cleanliness and sterilization are vital to the success of healthcare administration. Medical casters are also often treated with antimicrobial coatings to help prevent the spread of germs. Common medical caster wheel materials include rubber, polyurethane, and stainless steel, which all provide durability, stability, and floor protection.
Medical casters are also engineered with patient experience in mind. Our medical casters help reduce noise that often occurs when casters roll around a facility. This helps promote positive patient experience and staff productivity by eliminating distractions.
Our medical casters are best suited for light to medium duty medical applications.
Medical casters can be used to replace commodity casters on hospital beds. Our medical casters help improve ergonomics and reduce noise, while providing excellent stability and support.
Use medical casters for IV poles, ventilators, X-rays, ultrasound machines, scanners, and other medical equipment.
Our medical casters perform exceptionally when paired with medical carts and trollies. Our ergonomic medical casters have low rolling resistance and 360-degree swivel capabilities, meaning they make medical carts very easy to push and maneuver.
Medical casters with locking brakes are used in surgery tables to provide precision, stability, and support to patients undergoing surgery. They are also suitable for washdown applications and can be sterilized before an operation takes place.
Our medical casters are great for mobility equipment like wheelchairs and walkers, improving ergonomics and maneuverability.
Regardless of the application, helping to provide safety and a pleasant patient experience is of utmost importance. To ensure the best environment is provided for healing patients, hospitals are graded by patients via HCAHPS survey scores. HCAHPS (the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems) is a patient satisfaction survey, enforced by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, for hospitals in the United States. To ensure that casters do not detract from patients’ experience in a hospital, medical casters need to be extremely smooth and quiet.

Benefits of Medical Casters
Our medical casters are designed to deliver exceptional ergonomic performance, durability, load bearing capacity, and versatility. Here are some reasons to go with our medical casters, instead of commodity casters for your healthcare applications.
Safety and Hygiene: Medical casters contain antimicrobial coatings, helping to prevent bacterial growth and reduce infection in medical environments. They are also extremely stable and supportive, often designed with brake options that lock equipment and hospital beds in place.
Durable Construction: Built to withstand substantial loads and longtime use, our medical casters feature high-quality materials such as polyurethane. They also come with sturdy forks and reinforced mounting plates to guarantee sturdy construction. Our medical casters offer long-lasting performance, even when frequently used.
Superb Ergonomic Performance: Our medical casters offer unparalleled ergonomic performance. Many of our medical casters boast low rolling resistance, which reduces the amount of physical effort required for employees to push carts fitted with them.
Wide Range of Applications: Perfect for a wide range of applications, our medical casters are suitable for a variety of medical equipment, like hospital beds, stretchers, medical carts, IV poles, ultrasound machines, surgical tables, and more. Whether in surgery centers, hospitals, blood banks, nursing homes, clinics, ambulances, or other medical centers, our casters ensure seamless mobility.
Diverse Features: Our medical casters and wheels come in various sizes, materials, load capacities and features. Choose threaded stem medical casters for an easy replacement caster for hospital beds, or medical casters with locking brakes for a medical caster that can stabilize surgical tables for extra precision.
Smooth and Silent Operation: Minimize friction and reduce noise with our medical casters with precision ball bearings. The shock-absorbing design ensures a quiet and efficient work environment, allowing you to limit distractions.
Low Debris Retention: Many of our medical casters are non-marking, which means they do not leave scuffs on floors. This reduces the need for frequent floor maintenance and repairs, which saves you money in the long run. Additionally, our casters are designed to repel debris, like metal shavings and wood chips. This is important for the longevity of a caster’s ergonomic performance. As debris builds up, eventually a caster’s rolling resistance will increase, making the cart or object harder to push.
Easy Installation: Designed for easy installation, our medical casters come with standard mounting options that fit most equipment. Upgrade your existing setup quickly and efficiently with stem mount or plate mount caster rigs. Check out our brand of maintenance free rigs, CC Peak.
