Acute Care Carts & Accessories
Equip your facility with acute care carts designed for high-pressure care environments. Our carts and accessories help streamline emergency response, procedure prep, and recovery workflows by keeping essential tools secure, visible, and easy to access at every stage of care.
Where Acute Care Carts Fit in Daily Operations
Acute care carts are used in settings where supplies need to be close, organized, and ready at a moment’s notice. These carts support workflows in emergency rooms, inpatient units, outpatient clinics, labs, and medication prep areas.
By keeping supplies mobile and clearly arranged, emergency carts help reduce unnecessary movement, minimize interruptions, and support quicker response times in urgent situations. They’re also practical for everyday tasks like restocking and routine care.
Cart Types Designed for Clinical Use
We carry a wide range of acute care carts designed to match specific tasks and care environments:
- Emergency Carts: Preconfigured for emergency response, with organized drawers for airway tools, medications, and code supplies.
- Medication Carts: Locking medical carts used for unit-dose systems, scheduled medications, or floor stock in patient care areas.
- Procedure Carts: General-purpose hospital utility carts used for wound care, IV setup, diagnostic prep, and routine treatments.
- Phlebotomy Carts: Compact mobile carts for specimen collection, outpatient labs, and bedside draws.
- Suture Carts: Designed to keep sterile supplies organized in surgical or procedure areas.
- Narrow and Compact Carts: Space-saving designs for hallways, patient rooms, or crowded work zones.
- Mobile Lab Islands: Larger carts that support shared prep work, staging, or multi-user lab workflows.
Many carts are available in multiple widths, heights, and drawer configurations to match varied space constraints and workflow volume.
Accessories To Customize and Extend Cart Functionality
Cart accessories allow teams to personalize storage and access without replacing the entire unit. Our selection includes:
- Drawer organizers and medication bins
- Side-mounted storage, tilt bins, and glove box holders
- Sharps containers and waste receptacles
- Computer, tablet, and monitor mounts
- Overhead shelves and rail systems
Adding the right accessories helps reduce clutter, improve visibility, and keep frequently used items within reach.
Infection Control Best Practices for Medical Carts
Carts that move between patient zones must meet high standards for cleanliness and control. Every surface, drawer, and handle can become a transfer point if not managed properly.
Use this quick guide to reduce infection risk during daily operations:
- Choose carts with non-porous, easy-clean surfaces. Avoid textured materials or exposed seams that trap debris.
- Assign carts by zone or use to prevent cross-contamination between isolation areas and general care units.
- Wipe down carts between uses with approved disinfectants—especially handles, drawer fronts, and accessory attachments.
- Use enclosed storage to keep supplies protected from airborne pathogens or accidental spills.
- Add hands-free cart accessories like glove box holders or sharps containers to avoid unnecessary contact.
Building these practices into your workflow helps protect both patients and staff without slowing down response times.
