SOME MEDICAL STORAGE SYSTEMS ARE SOPHISTICATED PIECES OF AUTOMATED EQUIPMENT. Take, for instance, Armstrong Medical's Aluminum Auto-Locking Cart. The system keeps supplies safe and, through user tracking software, can record the time of entry by each assigned user. These digitized records also let managers create user groups, thereby restricting individual users to specified times of the day or days of the week, says Armstrong Medical.
Automated dispensing systems not only keep your meds and supplies secure and in stock, they enable nurses to concentrate on patient care instead of inventory surveillance.
Other systems employ simple concepts to solve complex storage concerns. InnerSpace Corporation's Easy Reach Scope Manager uses a counterbalance design to lift endoscopes to an upright position, which lets them hang straight and safe in a secure environment.
Whether your inventory needs are complex or minimal, check out these products to get ideas for developing effective storage solutions.

Store your scopes. This system's Easy Reach feature is a counterbalanced scope support that lowers stored scopes to a reachable level without the need for step stools, says InnerSpace.

Available upgrades include an air circulation fan, keyless entry and touchpad lock system. InnerSpace says its storage units maximize space utilization, transport supplies faster and enable more efficient supply organization.

Modular open-storage system can add flexibility. Combining the advantages of an accessible open-storage system with high-density, modular systems, the QuickStore line of storage accessories lets you store large and small items alike with ease, says the company.

QuickStore units accommodate the same interchangeable optional accessories that fit most InnerSpace cabinets and carts, which give you flexibility if you already have other InnerSpace products in place. Accessories include plastic trays and dividers, wire baskets, smooth trays and lids, metal shelves, Cath Managers and gravity feed trays for suture storage. Cart covers are also available.
