Ergonomically Designed Workstations

A critical feature of sterile processing workstations and tables is their ergonomic design. The ability to adjust and provide supplies within easy reach is essential. A primary ergonomic design is an ability to adjust to the proper height for the individual user. Being able to change from a sitting to a standing position throughout the day promotes body health. Work surface height adjustments can reduce strain on the back and shoulders, which can help prevent injuries among staff working long hours at these stations. Proper design ensures that staff can work in a comfortable and ergonomic posture, which can help to prevent musculoskeletal injuries and fatigue.

Durability and Infection Control

The tables need to be made of high-quality stainless steel, which is durable and resistant to harsh cleaning chemicals. Stainless steel has smooth, nonporous surfaces and comes with rounded corners that are easier to clean and less likely to harbor bacteria than textured or porous surfaces. The ability to clean and disinfect the work surfaces is vital in a sterile processing department to prevent the potential spread of infection at all costs. Stainless steel is also corrosion resistant making it an excellent long-term investment. Visit our online store to see our healthcare storage products.

Sterile Processing Workstation Storage

sterile processing packaging workstationSterile processing workstations and tables need sufficient space to accommodate the required supplies and instruments for personnel to perform their job. These workstations come with optional overhead shelves, drawers, and storage compartments to store supplies, instruments, and equipment to facilitate the packaging of instruments. Supplies need to be convenient and organized for quick and easy access by the staff. In addition, it’s also essential that the tables have ample counter space for assembling and packaging instruments.

In conclusion, sterile processing workstations and tables play a crucial role in the central sterilization department of hospitals. Workstations and tables must be designed with ergonomic features, durable materials, and storage accessories for quick access to supplies, instruments, and equipment.

Healthcare Testimonials

parkland hospital

“Southwest Solutions Group assisted us in the setup of equipment and services for our offsite medical record warehouse housing over one million charts. They have moved over 330,000 records from the main hospital to the medical record warehouse in a weekend time period, and converted thousands of charts for us. They have provided us a new chart tracking system, labeling system, and file conversion services over a multi-month process. Their IT group was able to modify our existing records management software to “talk” to our main software program so we could print color coded labels for our medical record charts. In addition, they have provided many other services to Parkland hospital including file shelving, hospital storage equipment needs, and software support. Southwest Solutions Group does exceptional work.”

“Our experience with Southwest Solutions Group could not have been better. Matt (sales rep) was very knowledgeable and attentive to our needs. Our shelving project required many changes and revisions and Matt never flinched when thrown a challenge. Many thanks to the installation crew for putting in a twelve hour day to complete our project on time. We give a 100% satisfaction rating to Matt and the Southwest Solutions Group team.”

“Thank you for your donation! I wanted to let you know that we ordered a donor sign for our storage room. The sign will be displayed outside the storage room located near the main kitchen/dining room. This should give you some good exposure!”
