Starkstrom has added to its product portfolio the ED/ICU (Emergency Department and Intensive Care Unit) patient equipment transfer trolley.
It ‘eliminates the need for time-consuming and potentially risky movement of equipment between different beds and trolleys, via a single manageable unit that can accommodate all the equipment needed for intra-department patient transfers between emergency department, inpatient wards, trauma assessment, and theatre areas’. With an adjustable docking system, the trolley ‘docks quickly and easily with the patient trolley, and saves doctors, nurses, and anaesthetists, from having to equip each patient individually on every transfer’. The company added: “The space-saving trolley reduces the number of people and pieces of equipment a patient needs to come into contact with, significantly enhancing infection control, since there are fewer items to harbour dirt and bacteria.” All critical equipment can be mounted on a range of horizontal and vertical rails, providing a safe, secure storage facility for essential, and often fragile, equipment.
