Two Tier Stainless Steel Instrument and Dressing Trolley on Castors

Two Tier Stainless Steel Instrument and Dressing Trolley on Castors

A two tier instrument and dressing trolley in stainless steel, built on a tubular frame with retaining rails to both shelves and four castors. It is the standard trolley for a treatment room, a dressing clinic, a theatre or a ward procedure, and it is built to be cleaned rather than to look clean.

Material is the whole argument for a trolley of this kind. Stainless steel is non-porous and has no coating to break down, so it tolerates repeated wiping with the chlorine releasing disinfectants used in clinical cleaning. A painted or chrome plated trolley will survive that treatment for a while and then begin to chip, blister and corrode, and once the surface is broken it cannot be decontaminated properly because the damage holds soil. A stainless trolley is still cleanable in its tenth year.

The two tiers are not simply extra storage. In aseptic technique the upper shelf carries the sterile field and the lower shelf carries everything that is not sterile: the packaging, the receiver, the waste. Keeping those on separate levels is how a single pair of hands works through a dressing without contaminating the field, which is why a two tier trolley is specified for the job and a single shelf table is not.

The frame is open tubular with no enclosed cavities, so there is nowhere for soil to collect out of sight and nothing that has to be dismantled to clean. Retaining rails run along both shelves to stop instruments and receivers sliding off when the trolley is pushed, and the castors let it be brought to the patient rather than the patient to it.
