A Safer way to Store Supplies

Hygieia Shelving: A Flexible Solution for Surgical Kits

Before the renovation, Salem Hospital’s surgical storage areas were cluttered and inefficient. Wire carts were scattered throughout the space, making it difficult for staff to locate supplies quickly or maintain proper inventory control. The lack of structure created workflow bottlenecks and increased the risk of contamination, as different surgical items were often stored too closely together. It was clear that a more organized and hygienic solution was needed to support the hospital’s high standards of care.

By replacing scattered wire carts with Pegasus Hygieia shelving, staff gained a streamlined system that supports better inventory control and infection prevention. The new setup not only maximizes available space but also enhances overall workflow — ensuring supplies are organized, accessible, and easy to maintain in a sterile environment.
