"Storage Solved" in Surgical Services Department

The Surgical Services Department at Peninsula Regional Medical Center in Salisbury, Maryland recently upgraded their storage in the operating room core and replaced more than 70 wire carts with seven small Spacesaver mobile systems. The old wire carts had a tendency to tear holes in supplies, looked unorganized and were inefficient on space utilization.

Seven mobile systems were designed and incorporated into the OR core for storing sterile supplies, cases and instruments for surgery. Two systems are located in the main core for supply items, two systems are located between the orthopedics surgery rooms for storing replacement parts and supplies, two service the neurosurgery suite and one unit is in the heart core.

All of the mobile systems incorporated drawers for small items such as soft goods, syringes, and catheters. Shelf openings were designed to maximize space, while still accommodate large items such as large surgery cases. Clear end panels were used so that items are easily visible and quickly located.

Storage solutions (design, layout and installation) provided by Paul Leatherman, StorageLOGIC, Inc., Sparks, MD, in conjunction with Spacesaver Corporation.
