Description
Praticima Modulo Classic Storage Cabinet – Lockable Medication Dispenser Storage for Care Homes
The Praticima Modulo Classic Storage Cabinet is a secure, practical and space-efficient medication storage solution designed for care homes, nursing homes, long-stay healthcare facilities and other professional care environments. Manufactured in France by Praticima, the Modulo Classic range has been specifically developed to accommodate Modulo Classic and Pili medication dispensers, providing a centralised location for organising prepared medication trays. Available in three capacities, the cabinets can accommodate 30, 60 or 90 medication dispenser trays, allowing healthcare organisations to select the appropriate storage solution for their operational requirements.Each cabinet features a robust epoxy-coated sheet metal structure, designed for regular use in professional healthcare settings.
A convenient sliding curtain door provides access to the internal storage area while reducing the clearance required compared with traditional outward-opening cabinet doors. The curtain incorporates a key-operated locking system, allowing authorised staff to restrict access to stored medication dispensers. Adjustable feet help ensure that the cabinet can be positioned appropriately on suitable floor surfaces.
The Praticima Modulo Classic Storage Cabinet is particularly useful for facilities that prepare, organise and store medication dispensers as part of their daily medication management procedures. Its dedicated dispenser storage arrangement helps keep medication trays organised and readily accessible to authorised staff.
Whether you require a compact 30-tray cabinet for a smaller care setting or a larger 90-tray cabinet for a high-capacity medication storage area, the Modulo Classic range offers a practical solution. Available from John Preston, the Praticima Modulo Classic Storage Cabinet can be specified according to the number of medication dispensers required and the available storage space.
Designed for Care Homes and Long-Stay Healthcare Facilities
The Praticima Modulo Classic Storage Cabinet is specifically designed for medication dispenser storage in nursing homes and long-stay care centres. These environments often require dedicated storage space for medication dispensers prepared for residents or patients. The Modulo Classic cabinet provides a structured storage arrangement that helps staff organise the dispensers within a central medication management area.
- Residential care homes
- Nursing homes
- Long-stay healthcare facilities
- Specialist care centres
- Medication preparation rooms
- Care home pharmacy storage areas
- Healthcare organisations using Modulo Classic or Pili dispensers
The cabinet should be incorporated into the organisation's approved medication storage and administration procedures.
Dedicated Storage for Modulo Classic and Pili Dispensers
One of the main benefits of the Modulo® Classic Storage Cabinet is its dedicated compatibility with Praticima medication dispensing systems. The cabinet is designed to accommodate:
- Modulo Classic medication dispensers
- Pili medication dispensers
This helps organisations maintain a consistent storage arrangement for their existing medication management equipment. The internal capacity depends on the selected cabinet size, with options for 30, 60 or 90 dispenser trays. Compatible medication dispensers should be specified separately unless expressly included in the quotation.
Three Storage Capacities Available
The Praticima Modulo® Classic Storage Cabinet is available in three configurations.
30-Dispenser Storage Cabinet – 86730
- The 30-dispenser cabinet is the most compact version in the range.
- It is designed to accommodate up to 30 compatible medication dispenser trays.
- With a width of 600 mm, it is particularly suitable for smaller care settings or medication storage rooms where available floor space is limited.
- Dimensions: 600 mm wide × 440 mm deep × 1,980 mm high.
60-Dispenser Storage Cabinet – 86760
- The 60-dispenser cabinet provides twice the storage capacity of the smaller model.
- It is suitable for facilities requiring a greater number of organised medication dispenser trays.
- With a width of 1,200 mm, it provides a larger storage arrangement while maintaining the same 440 mm depth as the 30-dispenser model.
- Dimensions: 1,200 mm wide × 440 mm deep × 1,980 mm high.
90-Dispenser Storage Cabinet – 7A151
- The 90-dispenser cabinet is the highest-capacity model in the Modulo® Classic fixed storage cabinet range.
- It accommodates up to 90 compatible medication dispenser trays.
- This model is suitable for larger care facilities or central medication storage areas requiring additional capacity.
- Dimensions: 1,550 mm wide × 535 mm deep × 2,000 mm high.
Secure Key-Locking System
The Modulo Classic Storage Cabinet features a key-operated locking mechanism integrated with the sliding curtain door. This allows authorised staff to secure the cabinet when access is not required. The lockable design provides a practical way to restrict access to medication dispensers within the care environment.
- Key-operated locking
- Restricted access when locked
- Secure closure of the storage area
- Convenient access for authorised staff
- Support for organised medication storage procedures
The cabinet's key lock does not automatically establish compliance with controlled-drug storage requirements.
Space-Saving Sliding Curtain Door
The cabinet features a sliding curtain closure. Unlike conventional hinged doors, a sliding curtain does not require a large outward-opening clearance. This makes it particularly useful for medication rooms and care environments where space must be used efficiently. Advantages include:
- Convenient access to medication dispenser trays
- Reduced door clearance requirements
- Practical operation in confined storage areas
- Enclosed storage when the curtain is closed
- Integrated key locking
The curtain should be closed and locked according to the organisation's medication storage procedures.
Durable Epoxy-Coated Sheet Metal Construction
The Praticima Modulo Classic Storage Cabinet is manufactured from epoxy-coated sheet metal. This provides a robust cabinet structure designed for use in professional care environments. The protective coating creates a practical surface for routine cleaning and maintenance using methods approved by the manufacturer. The cabinet is intended for fixed installation rather than mobile transportation.
Adjustable Feet for Stable Positioning
Each cabinet features adjustable feet. These allow the cabinet to be levelled and positioned appropriately on suitable flooring. Correct positioning is important for stable operation, particularly when the cabinet is fully loaded with medication dispensers. The cabinet should be installed on a suitable floor and positioned in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
Supporting Organised Medication Management
Medication management in care settings often involves multiple stages, including preparation, checking, storage and administration. The Praticima Modulo Classic Storage Cabinet provides a dedicated location for storing compatible medication dispensers as part of this process. Its structured tray capacity can help staff maintain an organised medication storage area.
Potential benefits include:
- Centralised storage of compatible dispensers
- Clear organisation of medication trays
- Convenient access for authorised staff
- Capacity options for different facility sizes
- Lockable storage when not in use
- Integration with existing Praticima dispenser systems
The cabinet is a storage product and does not replace medication checking, dispensing or administration procedures.
Suitable for Different Facility Sizes
Praticima offers the Modulo Classic Storage Cabinet in three capacities to suit different care environments.
- Smaller facilities may prefer the 30-dispenser model where storage space is limited.
- Medium-sized facilities may require the additional capacity of the 60-dispenser model.
- Larger establishments may benefit from the 90-dispenser version.
When selecting a cabinet, consider the number of dispenser trays in circulation, the available floor space and the organisation's medication preparation workflow.
Designed for Fixed Storage
The Modulo Classic Storage Cabinet is a fixed cabinet rather than a mobile trolley. This makes it suitable for dedicated medication storage areas where dispensers need to be organised in a consistent location. For organisations requiring mobile dispenser storage, Praticima also offers separate Modulo Classic storage columns. These mobile columns should be treated as distinct products with different specifications and manufacturer references.
Compatible Medication Management Accessories
Praticima identifies the following complementary products:
- Modulo drawers
- Modulo Classic medication dispensers
- Pili medication dispensers
These accessories can support the wider medication management system.
= The exact dispenser configuration and compatibility should be confirmed when ordering.
