‘Expert manufacturer of hygienic solutions’, Teknomek, has recently partnered with sterile goods logistics specialist, Hupfer, to become the UK distributor of Hupfer equipment, including its Medical Transport Carts.
Designed for healthcare environments and Sterile Service Departments (SSD), the carts are independently UN3291 certified, meeting international standards.
Sterile transport carts, or trolleys, play a critical role in any medical or healthcare environment, being used to prevent contamination during transportation of sterile equipment, such as operating theatre instruments, from a sterile services department to where it is needed, either on or off site.
Teknomek’s Hupfer medical trolley is claimed to be ‘one of the most robust transport solutions available for sectors where hygiene is critical’. Manufactured from 304-grade stainless steel, and certified to a payload of up to 250 kg, each trolley features a fully enclosed, single-walled construction that is easy to clean and sterilise. Independently tested and independently certified to UN3291, the trolley is built to withstand demanding healthcare environments, and meet international standards for the secure transport of clinical waste.
The Hupfer trolley is fully compatible with trolley washers, and complies fully with NHS handling protocols and infection control guidelines. Teknomek says it also helps prevent the rips and tears which can commonly occur in materials such as sterile wraps and packaging films during handling, transport, or storage.
Available in four sizes, one with a single door, and three with double-doors, each trolley has a three-point locking system and three height-adjustable stainless-steel shelves. It runs on four 160 mm castors with stainless steel housings and total lock braking. With two swivel castors, ergonomic push handles, and top-mounted corner bumpers, the trolley has been ‘thoughtfully designed’ to offer safe, stable manoeuvrability.
