During the planning phase of the AnMed Heart and Vascular Center (a 37,000 sq ft. $70 Million project in Anderson, SC), a need for cabinetry in the Heart Catheterization (Cath) Lab was uncovered. This storage solution needed to be functional, to be easily cleaned/sterilized, and to be aesthetically pleasing. A patient friendly look instead of a clinical look of the cabinetry was stressed. Space was at a premium, and additional storage for stents, catheter wires, and supplies was also needed.
Our solution: modular casework for the four cath labs. The casework provided organized and quickly accessible storage, and the rich, wood finish provided the warm feeling that was desired. Glass-front doors were included for added functionality, allowing the units to be closed – supplies remained visible while being protected from contamination. The modular casework also provided superior resistance to contamination and ease of sterilization. In the alcove area, a high-density mobile shelving system tripled the storage capacity for the additional supplies, which are needed to be kept close by.
The modular casework was the hit of the Grand Opening tours, receiving rave reviews. Tom Fraser, Manager - Invasive Cardiovascular Department stated, “This was the perfect storage solution for us. The modular cabinets allowed us to concentrate and protect our supplies, and they created the comfortable, warm atmosphere we were looking for. Everyone is very pleased.”
