How do I choose a medical caster?
2023-02-15
There are many categories of casters, such as medical equipment, high-tech equipment, kitchen equipment, laboratory equipment, general equipment, airport carts and so on different occasions. If you want to choose the right casters for medical instruments, there is no doubt that Medical Casters can be used as the first choice. The main difference between Medical casters and non-medical casters is that they can be applied to common cleaning and disinfectants, safer, higher reliability, lower rotation and rotation resistance, and so on. Different subdivisions may also have their own special standards. However, this does not mean that other types of casters cannot be used in medical devices. In fact, the manufacturer's own classification is not absolute, and the line between medical and non-medical is not black and white. Sometimes it is only certified/not certified, and the classification can be adjusted at any time. Designers often strike a balance between safety, clinical requirements, practical use, and price. Non-medical casters can also be used in medical devices as long as relevant standards and requirements are met. The choice of casters should also consider the use of the environment, the use of general medical equipment environment is not as bad as that of industry, because the hospital itself has certain requirements on temperature, humidity, cleanliness and so on. However, once the caster is intended to be used in a special environment, such as high temperature, high humidity, or low temperature, it is necessary to select the caster that is suitable for the occasion according to the caster manufacturer's specifications.
