Things to consider:

  1. Lockable Drawers: Essential for securing medications and sensitive information. Ensure that the lock mechanism is user-friendly and reliable.
  2. Drawer Dividers: Adjustable dividers help organize various sizes of items, making it easy to find what you need quickly.
  3. Accessory Bins: These can be added to the cart for additional storage of smaller items like syringes, bandages, or PPE, keeping everything accessible.
  4. Durable Construction: Look for carts made from materials that withstand frequent cleaning and can handle the wear and tear of a medical environment.
  5. Mobility: Carts should have smooth-rolling casters for easy movement throughout the facility. Locking wheels provide stability when stationary.
  6. Height Adjustability: Some carts offer height adjustments to accommodate different user preferences or ergonomic needs.
  7. Surface Space: A flat top can provide additional workspace for documentation or quick access to items.
  8. Color-Coded Storage: Consider carts that offer colour options to categorise medications or supplies for easy identification.
  9. Compatibility with Technology: Some carts can accommodate laptops or tablets for record-keeping or monitoring.
  10. Customisation Options: Many manufacturers offer customisable configurations to meet specific needs.
