In hospitals and long-term care facilities, time is always of the essence. There are never enough minutes in the day and sometimes it feels like for every step forward you take two steps back. It’s frustrating and perplexing; it’s also just the nature of the business.
An easy way to buy a little extra time is to be better organized. For example, locate materials where they’re needed most, ensure they’re easy to find and properly labelled. Easier said than done, however, when it comes to patient slings.
These slings, used to safely mobilize patients, come in various sizes and types, each vital to ensuring proper care and support. However, their bulky nature and range of varieties present a common storage dilemma.
While patient slings are in constant use and must be readily available, their storage has long been a challenge. Traditional storage and organization methods like bins or cabinets often lead to disarray, with slings being hard to sort, prone to collecting dust, and occasionally placed on the floor, compromising cleanliness.
A Simple, Effective & Mobile Design
The Acart sling storage unit was designed based on client feedback and insights into healthcare patient operations. The Acart sling cart borrows from a proven concept from retail—garment organization—to ensure slings remain accessible, organized, and clean. This ingenious solution offers a unique approach to sling organization, making access and transport efficient, hygienic, and cost-effective.
Acart’s hospital sling unit is a straightforward yet transformative solution. It employs a garment bar with hooks to hang slings in an organized manner, much like clothing in a retail store. Each sling can be hung by size on labelled hooks, allowing caregivers to visually identify and access the correct sling quickly. This organized hanging system also eliminates the need for dust-collecting bins, keeps slings off the floor, and helps prevent cross-contamination.
One of the most practical features of the sling storage unit is its mobility. Since care needs are dynamic, the cart can be easily moved to the point of use or taken to a cleaning area when needed. This mobility ensures that slings are always accessible wherever required, streamlining workflows and allowing clinicians to focus on patient care rather than searching for equipment.
Customizable to Every Unit’s Needs
Acart’s sling cart is fully customizable in width, height, depth, and the number of hooks. By using standard components, the cart can be tailored to fit specific storage requirements or adapt to space constraints in different facilities. This customizability ensures that every facility can achieve an organized sling storage system that fits its needs.
