Vol. 249: High-Density Storage in Inpatient Pharmacies

Storing more drugs and supplies in less space

Space is always at a premium in hospitals, and regulations for hazardous drug storage have created an even greater space crunch in hospitals’ inpatient pharmacies. These pharmacies are usually “landlocked” inside hospitals with little or no room to expand. 

Although every inpatient pharmacy is different, Spacesaver products are typically used in two areas: they store hazardous drugs efficiently and securely in the new rooms that must be constructed to bring these pharmacies into compliance with USP 800 regulations, and they also help recover space that was lost elsewhere in the pharmacies when the rooms were constructed.

Vol. 248: Aluminum Trays on Widespan

Preserving historic flags and other textiles

A recent move to a new preservation facility gave staff at this museum the opportunity to improve preservation conditions for their extensive flag collections while also optimizing space and planning for the future. Custom aluminum trays mounted on Spacesaver’s RaptorRAC™ Widespan Shelving provide safe storage for delicate textiles. To provide room for future growth, rails were installed into the floor during construction. 

NOTE TO SALES REPS: Aluminum trays are available in 2.25” height only. The front and rear tray ends have an integrated “lip” that serves as a handle.
To order these trays, draw the appropriately sized RaptorRAC in Configura and submit an ETO request for aluminum trays and mounting brackets to fit.
