Medical carts are lightweight movable carts used in medical facilities for a variety of purposes. They're commonly used to store and transport medications, emergency equipment, and medical supplies. Medication carts are typically rectangular or square in shape, with swivel caster wheels and designated compartments for storing a variety of medical items. They allow nurses, doctors, and healthcare professionals to regularly give patients' drug regimens during their hospital stay. Their frames are primarily built of stainless steel or steel alloys. Crash carts are strategically placed around hospitals, allowing access at any moment in an emergency. Each cart drawer is carefully labeled so that healthcare staff may readily find the items in a hurry. Other types of medical carts include anesthesia carts, medical utility carts, procedure carts, and wall-mounted carts.
