Metro has established a great reputation as an industry leader for providing well designed products that address work related challenges in specific work environments. One such work environment that requires the utmost care is the surgical arena. A surgical suite must maintain a strict sterile environment as well as ensuring that the instruments remain free from contamination. In furtherance of maintaining safety, Metro’s line of Case Carts is just what the doctor ordered. So today we take a look at the Closed & Open Case Carts to see if they get a clean bill of health.

Metro has designed two systems for storage and transport of surgical items depending on the layout of your surgical facility, which ensure sterility. If there is a designated clean travel route within your facility, then the open cart may be what you’re looking for. If there is not a dedicated corridor for clean travel available, then Metro’s Closed Carts is the most efficient way to transport supplies and instruments to the operating room. We looked at both carts to determine what makes them a must have.

The Metro Open Case Cart (Low and High profile), known for its’ compact design and easy maneuverability, is constructed of all corrosion proof stainless steel Super Erecta wire shelving. The open design gives way to easy adjustability of the intermediate shelves and quick access to content. If space is at a minimum in the work or storage area, don’t fear. The high profile open cart provides more storage capacity per square footage to maximize space. The stainless steel casters feature long wearing, shock absorbing polyurethane tread that are designed to withstand frequent cart washing. If that isn’t enough, Metro can help customize an open cart to your exact needs with several accessories available. (Dividers, Ledges, and One Piece Handles). One such accessory is the 4” high Ledges that can be added to helps protect your sterile supplies and tools from falling while in transport. Metro’s Open Case Carts clearly provide an efficient solution with durability, strength and a thoughtful design.

Metro’s Closed Case Carts functional design was designed for facilities without the luxury of a clean transport hallway. It can limit the risks of exposing instruments and items to contaminants. Metro’s line of closed case carts maximizes your storage so much that it actually boasts the most combined storage capabilities in their 5 sizes over any other closed cart unit in the marketplace. One of the features that really stands out is the sound construction.  The design allows for a quiet footprint from top to bottom in order to not disturb patients or doctors. (The reinforced channels stiffen the carts top, back and floor dampening vibrations and reducing deflection, the shelf and door bumpers reduce rattling between metal components and the softer casters cut down vibrations).  Some additional stand out features include: Keyhole slots for brackets to easily attach, wire roller shelves even at the lowest level, weep holes that facilitate drainage and drying, double panel doors for increased durability and minimal maintenance, safety edges to eliminate ripping packaged supplies, and no exposed shelf wire.  If that isn’t enough, the unit is designed with security in mind as it features an optional Security Clasp which are color coded to easily indicate used or sterile content.

          Once again Metro has taken a look at the demands of a specific work space and created a product that is superior. If you are looking for carts for any area that requires sterility or containment, look no further then this incredible line from Metro.
