Innovative Medical Solutions for Healthcare Excellence
Specializing in cost-effective hospital furniture and equipment.
Why it matters
Hospital trolleys travel across departments, from sterile to non-sterile zones, potentially transferring microbes via their wheels. This silent contamination route can contribute to healthcare-associated infections if not properly managed.
Targeted cleaning practices, especially focused on wheels, can significantly reduce this risk — without relying on costly alternatives.
⸻
Practical measures to reduce contamination
• Regular cleaning and disinfection: Trolley wheels should be cleaned frequently, especially when moving between departments.
• Material choices: Wheel materials should be easy to clean and disinfect. Easily replaceable wheels are essential.
• Anti-contamination mats: While mats can help reduce microbial transfer, their benefits are limited if wheel hygiene is already maintained — and they are often expensive to install and maintain.
What research shows, wheels transport microbes
Ayliffe et al. (1969): A study comparing one- and two-trolley systems in operating theatres found no increase in airborne or surface contamination with one trolley. However, trolley wheels and floor in the transfer zone had higher bacterial counts — a difference that disappeared after wheels were cleaned.

Mats are costly and inconsistent
Meddick (1977): A study evaluated six contamination-control mats used at operating theatre entrances. Results showed varying effectiveness and practical drawbacks.
