What mobile pedestal features are important in healthcare environments?

Healthcare environments require mobile pedestals with: non-porous surfaces (steel or solid phenolic laminate) that withstand disinfection with bleach or quaternary ammonium compounds; stainless steel or powder-coated hardware (zinc die-cast hardware corrodes with hospital disinfectants); smooth, rounded edges with no surface gaps where pathogens could accumulate; lockable drawers for medication or specimen storage if applicable; and casters rated for use on smooth, hard hospital flooring. For environments subject to Joint Commission inspection, verify that pedestal use complies with the Environment of Care standards for equipment and storage.
