Medical Cart Name Applications

…are a vernacular of their own. Nobody bat’s an eye amongst nurses, tech’s, sales representatives and health care professionals when someone asks, “Where’s an ‘Isolation cart’?” By using the name “Isolation cart”, they are referring to a specific type of cart, which has a specific cart application. I will discuss individual cart types by application names in later posts. Here is a list of some of the most common medical cart name applications.
