What different areas of healthcare use medical furniture?

Various items are used in many settings, such as a nursing home, office, or hospital. These include items like desk chairs, bath chairs, various cabinets, rugs, and floor mats. Also included in this list would be things like exam tables and their accessories, and reception desks.

What equipment is available for different settings?

A general list of healthcare equipment for each setting is provided below.

  • Medical practice: This list includes, among others, a reception desk and a desk chair, filing carts, and a notebook rack. The waiting room would have seats and perhaps a magazine rack.
  • Exam room: An exam room would have places to sit as well as an exam table. There might also be a keyboard and monitor station for the nurse and physician to update records on.
  • Hospital: There are many items here such as portable storage cabinets and desk chairs for the nurse's stations. Hazardous waste garbage cans and laundry baskets are also available for use. For other storage areas, you can find a variety of portable storage shelves.

  • Nursing home: There are many geriatric supplies and accessories. These can include shower chairs. There are also safety bars and antimicrobial mats which are needed in the nursing home healthcare facility.
What important factors need to be considered in healthcare furnishings?

There are four main factors that should be considered when choosing furnishings for a medical office or facility.

  • Safety: You need to make sure that everything is sturdy. Some of the factors to consider here are the weight of the clientele, as well as the disabilities they may have. Something to avoid is furniture that has places where bacteria can embed, such as welting.
  • Cleanability: This is closely related to the safety of your furnishings, as the cleanability is directly related to how well you can disinfect it from various microbes. This includes being able to easily clean the seat and the back of the chair, a common catchpoint for bacteria. This area should also be such that the custodian can see where they are sticking their hands to protect them from getting stuck with something unseen.
  • Durability: Metal-to-metal connections in the framework are the most durable. The clientele that frequently uses the facility will also make a difference in what you need. Furniture should not scratch easily, as scratches can be breeding grounds for germs and bacteria. The upholstery should be moisture-resistant and be able to withstand heavy use.
  • Aesthetics: Though not important to the physical health of a patient, this is an important part of the mental health of a patient. A room that is warm and inviting will boost the morale of the patient, which is an important part of healing.
