The nurse station, also known as the nurse reception desk or reception desk, is not only the area where nurses work, but also the hub for patients or their families to consult. Therefore, when purchasing a nurse station, both aesthetics and functionality should be considered. Here are some suggestions compiled by the editor:
1. Countertop
1. Durable material
The countertop of the nurse station is made of medical-grade acrylic. Compared with other materials, it is durable. Acrylic solid surface material can effectively prevent wear and damage, including scratches and knife marks on the surface.
2. Hospital infection requirements
Acrylic solid surface material is a non-porous material with a uniform texture, which can achieve seamless splicing, prevent the breeding of bacteria or fungi, and has stronger anti-penetration ability.
3. Health and environmental protection
Acrylic is a non-toxic and non-allergenic material that does not release other volatile substances at normal temperatures. Due to its long life cycle, it almost does not need to be replaced during its use and can be easily refurbished.
2. Station
It is recommended to use electrolytic steel plates for the station body. Electrolytic steel plates are fire retardant, resistant to high temperature, low temperature, high pressure, corrosion, wear, shock and sound insulation, moisture-proof, antibacterial, mildew-proof, detachable, energy-saving and environmentally friendly.
Electrolytic steel plates are heavier, so they can also bring better load-bearing effects.
3. High and low platform matching
Mainly to meet the functional needs of doctors and patients, the high-level countertop design is convenient for patients and their families to stand for consultation and writing, and can also cover nurses' work computers, documents and other items; the low-level countertop design is mainly to meet the consultation and conversation of patients sitting or in wheelchairs. Generally, the high-level countertop height is 1.1m, and the low-level countertop height is 0.75-0.8m.
The barrier-free design of the nurse station is mainly based on humane considerations for patients. Combined with ergonomics, it can not only facilitate the normal use of wheelchair patients, but also provide patients with comfortable knee space when sitting.
In summary, when purchasing a nurse station, you should consider its price, function, material, environmental protection and durability.
