Massachusetts Medical Furniture Repair & Restoration Services
Administrators are faced with a big responsibility when it comes to the selection of furniture for patient care facilities. From the items in the waiting rooms to the medical equipment used in examinations, surgeries, and treatment areas, there is a lot to consider. Making an informed choice with regard to furniture selection is key. Purchasing furniture is an investment that should last the clinic, practice, or hospital for many years to ensure a positive return on investment. Careful research should be made to select furniture based upon its intended use, either for patients, staff, or visitors, with an understanding of the important role that the items will play in a patient care facility setting.
A Major Investment
While much of the furniture purchased for a medical building will be replaced again and again throughout the lifetime of the structure, due to heavy use, it is still important to make smart choices, provide upholstery repair and restoration as needed, and get as much life out of it as you can. Medical furniture upholstery is found throughout the patient care facility, beyond waiting room chairs and tables. In fact, the average 100-bed hospital could have well over 1,500 pieces of functional furniture, including hospital beds, medical exam tables, exercise and therapy equipment, stools, chairs, couches, and much more. The average physician’s or dentist’s practice could have well over 100 pieces of furniture, including dental chairs, exam tables, and much more.
Your patient care facility must have this furniture in order to function properly and serve all of the patients and visitors that come in each day. Leather, plastic, vinyl and other covering materials may require upholstery repair and restoration at some point during its lifetime. Rather than simply purchasing new furniture and equipment, it is best to work with a company that provides professional medical furniture upholstery repair. A small torn surface could lead to the inside padding and materials harboring dangerous bacteria. Reconditioned equipment and furniture can be just as functional as new, but it needs to be repaired and cleaned properly. Scratches, gouges, rips, scrapes, and scuffs can all be repaired through Stat Bio-Medical Sales & Service.
Why Quality Medical Furniture Matters
When you think about all of the benefits associated with medical furniture, it is easy to see why having quality items is important. Your patients and their families will sit on the chairs in the waiting room while they wait for treatments, surgeries, and results. Whether it’s a medical emergency or a routine visit, comfort is important. Once the patient gets into the exam or treatment room, medical furniture upholstery still plays an important role, providing a comfortable place to sit or lie down for an examination or for medical treatment. Some furniture is designed for staff, helping them to work together safely, effectively, and efficiently to aid patients.
Beyond comfort and support, medical furniture also needs to be kept in clean and working condition. Small slices, cuts, and scrapes on the upholstery must be dealt with right away to prevent the spread of bacteria and other harmful organisms from one patient to the next. The healthcare industry is a high-risk industry, but if the proper steps are taken to keep these items clean and in good repair, the risk can be reduced significantly. Reconditioned equipment can be just as valuable as brand new if it is effectively cared for on a daily basis. Upholstery repair and restoration can be used to extend the life of medical furniture.
Finding new ways to reduce surface contamination in patient care facilities is a top priority. Cleaning, better design, and ongoing maintenance, which includes medical furniture upholstery repair, play important roles in this ongoing battle. Some of the most high-risk items in a hospital or exam room include chairs, bedside tables, and over-the-bed trays. It is important that patient care facilities prioritize the cleaning and repair of medical furniture to prevent the spread of dangerous pathogens.
