Hospitals, health care centres, and other medical facilities deal with people’s lives daily. They are all fast-paced work environments that require easy and immediate access to materials, information, and supplies to ensure quality and promptness in their service. Having an organised and modular storage solution can help speed up work and lessen the stress among employees.
One of the commonly used healthcare and medical storage solutions you would find in these settings is the HTM71 (Health Technical Memorandum 71). It is recognised as one of the best solutions in medical environments because of its ease of use and effective utilisation of the available allotted space.
Part of the healthcare professionals’ duties is to provide efficient storage for medical supplies to serve their clients and patients better—and HTM71 helps them achieve just that!
What the HTM71 Modular Storage System Looks Like
Back in the days, static storage solutions were vastly used in medical settings. This setup resulted in moving products from one storage unit to where they are needed and back, depending on work demands. The whole process of transporting these delicate items back and forth exposes them to possible risks, such as damage, contamination, and the chance for things to get lost.
The HTM71 storage solution helps prevent these situations because it comes with stackable trays that anyone can quickly move, transport, and bring back. All products are safely placed inside the tray, so all items are together, minimising the risk of getting them lost or damaged in the process. Having a tray also reduces the risks of the implements in them coming into direct contact with unsanitised hands, thus lessening the possibility for contamination.
On Material and Capacity
PP Healthcare Solutions’ HTM71 follows the NHS’s (National Health Service) health building notes. Each basket of this modular storage can accommodate loads of up to 25 kg, while the medications module can carry up to 15 kg. They are made of a solid base that prevents fluids from escaping and dust from entering.
In PP Healthcare Solutions, we offer the products in two different finishes. You can choose a light blue module in ABS plastic material that is resistant to temperatures of up to 85 degrees Celsius or opt for a clear version made of polycarbonate if you need a module that can resist temperatures of up to 121 degrees Celsius.
On Usage
Safety is guaranteed for all products placed in HTM71 storage. Every basket comes with easy slots for lengthwise and crosswise dividers, making storing differently-sized items easier to manage. Items would not roll inside each container whether you tilt the baskets or transport it to other locations because of these flexible dividers.
Labelling is also not an issue with HTM71. There are available label slots you can push and clip on any side of the basket, whether you use the dividers lengthwise or crosswise.
Moreover, all of these baskets are easily sterilisable. They can be arranged for mounting on walls or stacking on panels—making them increasingly useful in such a delicate and time-sensitive environment as a hospital.
Conclusion
The HTM71 storage solution is a great way to have centralised and seamless storage for all hospital and medical items. Different types of healthcare establishments would benefit from this setup. Its modular characteristic also helps with the efficient distribution of products. If you plan to improve your facility’s storage system, your team’s work efficiency, and your medical facility’s service and performance, consider investing in them today!
