\"7<\/a>There are more than 5,500 hospitals in the United States that play home to roughly 51.4 million procedures annually, according to estimates by the Centers for Disease Control<\/a>. These heavily trafficked facilities are among the most important in the nation, helping men, women, and families to recover and return to their lives.<\/p>\n

Of course, fewer public facilities adhere to more strict health and safety codes than hospitals. This guide has been created to assist those tasked with improving health and safety for hospitals. The products below are 7 of the most essential guards, railings, and protective products designed specifically for use in hospitals and other medical treatment centers.<\/p>\n

Corner Guards, Wall Guards, & Other Hospital Essentials<\/h2>\n

Corner Guards<\/h3>\n

Every hospital has long corridors where 90 degree turns create corners that are exposed to potential damage. Gurneys, wheelchairs, and supply dollies are just a few of the most common things that may damage hospital corners. Risk of damage only escalates when doctors and staff are treating a patient with severe injuries or illness. To learn more about corner guards for hospitals, visit our commercial corner guards online store<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Handrails<\/h3>\n

Like corner guards, handrails are often used by hospitals to help prevent damage from ruining interior walls. Handrails serve another vital function, helping hospital patients and guests to walk along hallways. Handrails are particularly important for medical facilities that may specialize in treating individuals with disabilities as well as elderly patients. Shop the best handrails for hospitals by visiting our commercial handrail online store<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Column Guards<\/h3>\n

Column guards are a unique product, similar to corner guards. These special protective products are designed for use along parking garage columns where they absorb and displace extreme impact from vehicles. Whether from a visitor\u2019s car or hospital ambulance, column guards are the #1 way to prevent serious damage and costly repairs. Visit the following link to learn more about our Celestial\u00ae Column Guard<\/a> (installs vertically to protect parking garage columns).<\/p>\n

Shoeshone\u00ae Bed Locator<\/h3>\n

Shoeshone\u00ae Bed Locators perform a number of vital functions for hospitals, nursing homes, hospice facilities, and other centers where patient care extends overnight. Each bed locator consists of two brackets, two molded vinyl end guides, and one standard Aztec\u00ae Wall Bumper. Together, this system prevents beds from damaging walls while also maintaining well-defined bed lines and aisles. Learn more about our Shoeshone\u00ae Bed Locator<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Wichita\u00ae Crash Rail<\/h3>\n

Wichita\u00ae crash rails are an excellent choice for hospitals and medical care facilities. These heavy-duty wall guards are manufactured with stainless steel, making them a valuable addition to any facility where sterile environments must be maintained. Learn more about our Wichita\u00ae crash rail<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bollard Covers<\/h3>\n

Parking bollards are cylindrical concrete markers that serve a variety of important functions in parking lots and garages. No matter what the function being performed, one thing is certain: Parking bollards must be visible. Shop our collection of Bollard Covers\u00ae<\/a> to envelope your bollards with a vibrant colored casing that significantly improves visibility while also softening impact.<\/p>\n

Kickplates for Doors<\/h3>\n

Hospital doorways are often entered and exited quickly. In many cases, the bottom of a gurney or wheeled cart is the first thing to touch the door. Protect hospital doors with kicklates, and proactively prevent damage from accruing over time. Doors are expensive to replace, making kickplates a cost-effective solution. Visit the following link to shop our collection of door guards and kickplates online<\/a>.<\/p>\n
