Description
Praticima Neop 400 x 400 Distribution Trolley – Compact Hospital Medication Trolley
The Praticima Neop 400 x 400 Distribution Trolley is a compact, versatile medication trolley designed to support the safe organisation, storage and distribution of medicines in hospitals, care homes, nursing homes and other professional healthcare environments. Part of Praticima's comprehensive Neop medication management range, this trolley helps healthcare teams manage the distribution of medicines from the pharmacy to the patient. Its compact 400 x 400 storage format is particularly suited to smaller healthcare facilities, hospital wards and care environments where available floor space may be limited.
The trolley supports different medication distribution procedures, including daily and weekly named-patient dispensing, allowing healthcare organisations to configure the internal storage according to their requirements. Featuring a durable one-piece welded structure with an epoxy anti-corrosion treatment, the Neop trolley is designed for regular professional use.
A practical ABS/PMMA thermoplastic work surface provides space for appropriate medication-related tasks, while the sliding roller shutter door allows convenient access to internal storage. An optional code-operated lock is available to help restrict access to medication supplies when the trolley is not in use. The trolley is fitted with four 125 mm non-marking castors, including two braked castors, allowing healthcare staff to manoeuvre it around suitable indoor environments. Four protective EVA bumpers help protect surrounding furniture and equipment during movement.
The internal storage arrangement can be customised using compatible medication bins, drawers and accessories. Additional options include an ergonomic handle, folding side shelf, IT holder and bag holder. For healthcare organisations seeking an adaptable medication distribution solution, the Praticima Neop 400 x 400 Distribution Trolley combines compact dimensions, practical mobility and configurable storage.
Available from John Preston, the Neop 400 x 400 trolley can be specified to suit different medication management procedures and departmental requirements. Internal trays, bins, drawers and optional accessories should be confirmed when requesting a quotation.
Designed for Daily and Weekly Medication Distribution
The Praticima Neop 400 x 400 Distribution Trolley supports medication logistics from the pharmacy to the patient. It can be used within healthcare organisations following daily or weekly named-patient medication distribution procedures.
- Hospital medication rounds
- Ward-based medication distribution
- Care home medication management
- Nursing home medication rounds
- Named-patient medicine storage
- Daily medication distribution
- Weekly medication dispensing systems
- Smaller clinical departments
- Residential healthcare facilities
The trolley provides storage and transportation infrastructure. It does not replace medication checking, prescribing or administration procedures.
Compact Design for Smaller Healthcare Environments
The Neop 400 x 400 trolley is particularly suitable for facilities requiring a compact medication distribution system. With overall dimensions of 558 mm wide x 583 mm deep x 1,115 mm high, it offers a relatively narrow footprint compared with larger medication trolleys. This makes it suitable for consideration in:
- Smaller hospital wards
- Care home corridors
- Resident bedrooms
- Compact medication rooms
- Clinical departments with limited floor space
Its compact design allows staff to bring medication supplies closer to the patient, where appropriate.
Customisable Medication Storage
One of the main advantages of the Neop range is its flexible internal storage. The trolley can be configured with compatible medication bins, trays and drawers according to the organisation's medication distribution procedures. Praticima offers a choice of internal fittings designed to accommodate different storage arrangements.
- Named-patient medication bins
- Medication roll dispenser bins
- Internal storage drawers
- Compatible 400 x 400 trays
- Storage compartments for appropriate medication accessories
The final storage capacity depends on the selected internal fittings.
Suitable for Named-Patient Medication Distribution
The Neop 400 x 400 trolley supports named-patient medication distribution systems. These systems organise medicines according to individual patient requirements and the healthcare organisation's approved procedures. The trolley provides a dedicated mobile storage unit for transporting and accessing the relevant medication supplies. It can support both daily and weekly distribution workflows.
Durable One-Piece Welded Construction
The trolley features a one-piece welded structure with an epoxy anti-corrosion treatment. This provides a robust framework for regular professional healthcare use. The structure is designed to support compatible internal storage components and accessories.
ABS/PMMA Thermoplastic Work Surface
This provides a convenient surface for appropriate medication-related tasks during distribution rounds.
- Worktop height: 1,057 mm.
- Usable worktop dimensions: 443 mm wide x 495 mm deep.
The surface should be cleaned using manufacturer-approved methods and according to the healthcare organisation's infection prevention procedures.
Sliding Roller Shutter Door
The standard Neop 400 x 400 Distribution Trolley features a roller shutter closure. This allows the internal storage compartment to be opened without requiring the outward clearance associated with conventional hinged doors.
- Convenient access to medication storage
- Space-efficient opening
- Enclosed storage when closed
- Practical use in smaller rooms and corridors
- Compatibility with optional locking arrangements
The roller shutter is not itself a substitute for an appropriate medication security system.
Optional Code Lock
This can help restrict access to the internal storage area when the trolley is not in use. The appropriate security arrangements should be determined according to the healthcare facility's medication management procedures.
Important: A code lock does not automatically make the trolley suitable for controlled-drug storage.
Four 125 mm Castors
The Neop 400 x 400 trolley features four 125 mm diameter castors.
- Two braked castors
- Two swivel castors
- Double locking of the wheel and swivel mechanism on the braked castors
- Non-marking rubber tyres
This arrangement provides practical mobility and controlled positioning within suitable healthcare environments.
Four Protective EVA Bumpers
Four round, non-marking EVA bumpers are incorporated into the trolley design. These help reduce the impact of minor contact with surrounding furniture, walls and equipment during manoeuvring. They are particularly useful in busy clinical areas and smaller healthcare environments.
Optional Accessories
- Ergonomic Handle: This provides an additional handling option when moving the trolley. The appropriate handle and fitting requirements should be confirmed for the selected configuration.
- Optional Folding Side Shelf: This can provide additional temporary working space during medication distribution. The shelf should be used within its specified loading limits and folded away when appropriate.
- IT Holder: This may be useful for healthcare facilities using electronic medication administration records or digital medication management systems. The holder is an accessory; electronic devices and software are not included.
- Medication Roll Bin: This may support medication distribution procedures involving suitable packaged medication rolls. Compatibility and the appropriate internal configuration should be confirmed before ordering.
- Storage Bins and Drawers: These can help organise medication supplies according to departmental requirements. The exact number and type of storage components depend on the selected trolley configuration.
- Bag Holder: This can provide convenient additional storage or collection capacity during medication rounds, where appropriate.
