Common Issues with Low-Quality Dressing Trolleys & Solutions

In the fast-paced world of healthcare, having reliable equipment is crucial for delivering effective patient care. Dressing trolleys are a vital part of hospital operations, used daily to transport medical supplies efficiently. However, poorly made trolleys can make the jobs of healthcare professionals much harder. At Emery Industries, we understand these challenges and are committed to providing high-quality solutions that address the specific needs of healthcare facilities. While many medical devices are imported into Australia, our Gold Coast-based company is dedicated to offering superior, locally manufactured options. Let’s delve into the common issues with low-quality dressing trolleys and how our products provide effective solutions.

 

Common Issues with Low-Quality Dressing Trolleys

 

  1. Durability Concerns

Poorly constructed trolleys often break down or become unstable quickly, leading to frequent repairs and replacements. This instability can cause accidents, posing risks to both staff and patients.

 

  1. Difficult to Move

Low-quality trolleys often have subpar wheels, making them hard to manoeuvre. This can slow down staff, especially in tight or crowded hospital spaces, and increase the risk of strain or injury.

 

  1. Lack of Storage and Organisation

Insufficient storage space or poorly designed compartments can lead to disorganisation, making it difficult for healthcare professionals to quickly access needed supplies, thus delaying patient care.

 

  1. Hygiene Issues

Materials that cannot withstand regular cleaning can lead to hygiene problems, which is particularly concerning in medical settings where infection control is critical.

 

  1. No Customisation

One-size-fits-all designs fail to meet the unique needs of different hospital departments, limiting their effectiveness and efficiency.

  • Enhanced Durability with Full Seam Welding

Our trolleys feature full seam welding with quality finishes on all top working surfaces. This not only improves infection control but also enhances the structural integrity of the unit, reducing vibration impact from constant use and extending the trolley’s lifespan.

 

  • Effortless Movement with Precision Ball Bearing Castors

We equip our trolleys with precision ball bearing castors, which absorb the weight of the unit and allow for easy movement with minimal effort. This provides greater control and significantly reduces the occupational health and safety risks to users.

 

  • Optimised Storage with Full Extension Ball Bearing Drawer Runners

Our trolleys come with full extension ball bearing drawer runners, ensuring a smooth and quiet opening and closing experience. This design protects contents from impact damage and reduces noise, benefiting both users and patients.

 

  • Hygienic and Customisable Designs

We use materials that can withstand thorough cleaning, ensuring high hygiene standards. Additionally, we offer customisation options to meet the specific requirements of different departments, whether in theatres, intensive care, or pathology.

 

Conclusion

In healthcare, the quality of equipment can significantly impact the efficiency and safety of operations. Low-quality dressing trolleys present numerous challenges that can hinder the delivery of care. At Emery Industries, we are dedicated to providing high-quality, Australian-made solutions that address these challenges. By focusing on durability, ease of movement, storage optimisation, and customisation, we aim to support healthcare professionals in delivering the best possible care to their patients.
