Toprail Systems has supplied its popular Toprail wall furnishing system for use in new operating theatres at the Alder Hey Children’s Hospital (AHCH), Liverpool. The supporting rail itself was installed into several buildings, which were built off-site and supplied by PKL Healthcare. Once the pre-manufactured buildings had arrived on site, hospital staff were quickly able to install the various elements of the Toprail system – cupboards, shelves, worktops and storage bins.
Wall furnishings meet theatre requirements
Toprail is a unique horizontal rail that can be secured to almost any type of wall with normal hand tools and once installed can support a wide range of wall furnishing items including shelves, whiteboards, worktops, cupboards, storage systems, display materials and even sinks. The concept was designed specifically for use within the health service and is the only wall furnishing system to meet the requirements of health technical memoranda HTM 62 and HTM 63.
Roger Weaver, clinical equipment manager at AHCH commented: “We first saw the Toprail system at a trade exhibition and thought it looked clean, modern and appealing to the eye. We also like its versatility, wide choice of system components and the ease with which it can be installed and adapted.”
