Medstor The heart of your storage solutions

Sharing a vision for exceptional care

“Sidra Medical and Research Centre will be a beacon of learning, discovery and exceptional care, ranked among the top academic medical centres in the world.”

Sidra Medical and Research Centre

Sidra Medical and Research Centre in Doha is an ultramodern, all-digital academic medical centre, established to treat women and children in Qatar, the Gulf region, and internationally. Its vision to be a “beacon of learning, discovery and exceptional care” has led to investment in some of the most advanced and progressive healthcare technology in the world, all housed in a modern structure of steel, glass and white ceramic tiles, designed to set a global benchmark for healing environments. Its commitment to featuring only the absolute best is evident in its choice of Medstor as provider of materials management solutions throughout the hospital.

Following an initial meeting at MEDICA, the world’s largest medical trade fair, Medstor and its distributer in the Gulf region, Qatar Datamation Systems, worked closely with Sidra to build the perfect specification for this major project, the equipment for which was then shipped from Medstor’s UK factory.

Medstor provided a comprehensive range of its flagship healthcare storage solutions, all in bright white to complement the modern, streamlined aesthetic of the hospital, and all working together to ensure the most efficient materials management system. Equipment included Medstor’s cabinets in a range of heights and sizes, with sleek, quiet-running roller shutter doors, popular throughout the world for delivering easy location of goods and eliminating stock-outs as well as offering a stylish and robust design that also supports enhanced infection control.

The cabinets support Medstor’s unique system of trays and dividers, which can be configured to meet the specific needs of the department, so facilitating maximum storage. The trays and gliders also ensure items are safely stored but can be located quickly and easily. Made of clear polycarbonate, the trays and dividers are robust and smooth, and strong enough to stand high temperature washing.

The cabinets supplied to Sidra also feature Medstor’s Xtraglide Wheeled Arrester System. Drawers full of medical items can be heavy and difficult to pull out, and while Medstor’s trays and dividers have always been designed to move smoothly and safely, the Xtraglide liner system takes ease of use to the next level with two additional design features: a wheel that reduces the force needed to withdraw heavy trays, and a horizontal arrester that allows trays to be moved safely to the horizontal position to allow easy withdrawal of goods, and requires just a simple lift to override the arrest and remove the tray completely.

The storage solutions Medstor provided for Sidra Medical and Research Centre are typical of the highly effective products it designs for healthcare facilities throughout the world. Every element of each racking system or cabinet has beautifully simple, clean, sleek lines that not only complement the theatre or ward design but offer increased storage capacity, better cost efficiency through improved stock control, and dramatically enhanced infection control. As everything made by Medstor is designed and built in-house in the UK, quality is controlled from start to finish, with a dedicated team working to guarantee the most successful and aesthetic utilisation of space.
