- Description
- A Loading Unit designed as a sterilizing trolley to put goods that are to be disinfected into the sterilizer. The item is used exclusively in hospitals and laboratories that have sterilizers. The carts are made of steel, have racks for placing trays that contain contaminated instruments, and have wheels to facilitate movement around the sterile processing department (SPD). The units help maximize productivity and improve throughput. These are all-purpose and can be used for sterilization, transport, and storage. The term all-purpose refers to the fact that if the SPD is limited on space, employees can utilize the transfer carriage and loading cart in the SPD by loading the items that need to be sterilized on it, roll it around the SPD if needed, then when sterilization is done, keep the sterile items on it and take them off the unit as necessary.
