Hebdo Medication Dispensing Trolley

Praticima Hebdo Dispensing Trolley – Lockable Medication Distribution Trolley for Care Homes

The Praticima Hebdo Dispensing Trolley is a practical, secure and ergonomic medication distribution trolley designed for care homes, nursing homes, residential care facilities and other professional healthcare environments. Developed by Praticima, the Hebdo range combines medication dispenser storage, transportation and distribution in one mobile unit, helping healthcare professionals organise weekly medication rounds. Available in two sizes, the Hebdo trolley accommodates either 30 or 60 compatible weekly pill dispensers, making it suitable for facilities with different medication management requirements.

The trolley features a durable anodised aluminium structure with coloured ABS side panels, providing a robust construction for regular use in busy healthcare settings. A sliding curtain door with a code lock helps restrict access to the stored medication dispensers when the trolley is not in use. The curtain slats can be removed without tools, simplifying access for maintenance and cleaning. The white thermoplastic work surface has rounded, raised edges, providing a practical area for medication-related tasks while helping contain small items on the worktop.

Four 100 mm polyamide swivel castors, including one with a brake, allow the trolley to be manoeuvred around suitable indoor healthcare environments. Each trolley is supplied with a handling grip and four standard accessory rails, allowing compatible side accessories to be fitted according to operational requirements. The Hebdo range is compatible with weekly medication dispensers featuring either fixed compartments or removable dividers, providing flexibility for different medication organisation procedures. A range of complementary accessories is also available, including a waste bin, bag holder, laptop holder and folding side shelf.

With its compact working height, organised dispenser capacity and secure code-locking system, the Praticima Hebdo Dispensing Trolley is a practical choice for care facilities seeking a dedicated medication distribution solution. Available from John Preston, the Praticima Hebdo Dispensing Trolley can be specified in either the 30- or 60-dispenser configuration, with suitable accessories selected according to the needs of the healthcare facility.

Designed for Medication Distribution in Care Homes

The Hebdo Dispensing Trolley is designed for medication distribution in residential and institutional care settings. These environments often require medication to be organised into weekly dispensers before being administered to residents. The Hebdo trolley provides a dedicated mobile storage solution for transporting these dispensers during medication rounds.

• Residential care homes
• Nursing homes
• Long-stay healthcare facilities
• Specialist care centres
• Medication preparation areas
• Medication distribution rounds
• Appropriate healthcare facilities using weekly pill dispensers

Its combination of storage capacity, mobility and convenient access makes it particularly suitable for regular medication management routines.

Storage, Transport and Distribution in One Trolley

A key benefit of the Hebdo range is its ability to support several stages of the medication management process. The trolley provides space for storing compatible weekly pill dispensers, transporting them within the facility and accessing them during distribution. This helps reduce the need for separate equipment for each stage.

• Centralised weekly dispenser storage
• Convenient transportation during medication rounds
• Organised access to medication dispensers
• Reduced need to move individual dispensers separately
• A dedicated mobile work surface
• Integration with compatible side accessories

The trolley supports medication workflows but does not replace checking, prescribing or administration procedures.

Available in 30- and 60-Dispenser Capacities

Praticima offers two standard Hebdo Dispensing Trolley configurations.

Hebdo 30 Dispensing Trolley

The Hebdo 30 is designed to accommodate 30 compatible weekly pill dispensers. It is the more compact model, making it particularly suitable for smaller care facilities or departments with limited available space.

Hebdo 60 Dispensing Trolley

The Hebdo 60 offers a larger capacity, accommodating 60 compatible weekly pill dispensers. It is designed for facilities requiring more medication dispenser storage within a single mobile unit.

Compatible with Fixed and Removable Divider Pill Dispensers

The Praticima Hebdo trolley is designed to accommodate compatible weekly pill dispensers.

• Pill Dispenser with Fixed Dividers: This dispenser has a fixed compartment arrangement for organising medication.
• Pill Dispenser with Removable Dividers: This dispenser features removable dividers, allowing the compartment arrangement to be adapted according to the intended medication organisation procedure.

These dividers are not included as standard.

Code-Lockable Curtain Door

The Hebdo Dispensing Trolley features a sliding curtain door with a code lock. This allows authorised staff to secure the internal storage area between medication rounds. The curtain closure also avoids the outward clearance required by conventional hinged cabinet doors.

• Code-operated locking
• Enclosed medication dispenser storage
• Convenient access during medication rounds
• Space-saving sliding closure
• Reduced obstruction in confined areas

The code lock provides restricted access but does not automatically make the trolley compliant for controlled-drug storage.

Tool-Free Removable Curtain Slats

This feature is useful for maintenance and cleaning, helping staff access components of the curtain mechanism without specialist tools. Cleaning and maintenance should always follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Durable Anodised Aluminium Structure

The Hebdo trolley features an anodised aluminium structure. This provides a durable framework suitable for regular professional use. The aluminium construction is complemented by coloured ABS side panels, creating a practical and robust mobile storage unit. The manufacturer's French product description identifies pink ABS side panels; the exact finish supplied should be confirmed when ordering.

Thermoplastic Work Surface with Raised Edges

The trolley features a white thermoplastic work surface. Its rounded, raised edges provide a practical area for medication-related tasks and help reduce the likelihood of small items sliding from the surface. The worktop is designed for regular use in professional care environments. It should be cleaned using methods compatible with the manufacturer's instructions and local infection prevention procedures.

Four 100 mm Swivel Castors

The Praticima Hebdo Dispensing Trolley is equipped with four polyamide swivel castors. Each castor measures 100 mm in diameter, one castor is fitted with a brake. The swivel arrangement supports manoeuvrability around appropriate indoor healthcare environments. The brake should be applied when the trolley is positioned for use, according to the manufacturer's operating instructions.

Handling Grip Included

Each Hebdo trolley is supplied with one handling grip. This provides a convenient point for manoeuvring the trolley during medication distribution. Staff should use appropriate manual handling techniques and avoid exceeding the manufacturer's loading limits.

Four Standard Accessory Rails

The trolley is supplied with four standard rails for accessories. These provide mounting positions for compatible side accessories. The rails allow facilities to configure the trolley according to their medication distribution procedures.

Optional accessories:

• Waste Bin: A suitable waste bin can provide convenient collection space during medication rounds, where appropriate.
• Bag Holder: This can provide additional convenience during routine medication distribution. The holder should be used only with compatible bags and within the manufacturer's loading limits.
• Laptop Holder: This may be useful for facilities using electronic medication administration records or other approved digital medication management systems. The trolley does not include a laptop or electronic medication system as standard.
• Folding Extension Shelf: This can provide additional temporary working space where required. The shelf should be used within its specified load capacity and folded away when appropriate.

Designed for Everyday Healthcare Use

The Hebdo range has been developed with everyday medication distribution in mind. Its ergonomic design, manageable working height and mobile construction support repeated use during medication rounds. The combination of lockable storage and accessory options allows healthcare organisations to configure a trolley that suits their existing procedures.

Supporting Organised Weekly Medication Management

Weekly medication dispensers are commonly used to organise prescribed medicines according to an approved administration schedule. The Hebdo trolley provides a dedicated place for storing and transporting compatible dispensers. Its capacity options allow facilities to select a trolley appropriate for their operational needs.

• Organised weekly medication storage
• Convenient access during distribution
• Centralised transport of compatible dispensers
• Lockable storage between rounds
• Reduced reliance on separate carrying containers
• Practical integration with existing medication procedures
