• Grip and safety: the corrugated non-slip surface prevents slipping during clinical exercise, a critical element in the operating room where loss of balance compromises surgical precision and patient safety.
• Dissipation of electrostatic charge: the antistatic feet protect against electrostatic discharges, fundamental in environments where sensitive medical devices and monitoring equipment operate.
• Stability on uneven floors: the height-adjustable feet compensate for construction tolerances in the operating room, maintaining a stable base even on surfaces that are not perfectly level.
• Simplified hygienic maintenance: the removable top allows for quick disassembly for deep cleaning and sterilization of the underlying structure, reducing downtime and ensuring compliance with hospital protocols.
• Material biocompatibility: the stainless steel resists hospital detergents, sterilizing agents, and repeated autoclave cycles without degradation or particle release.
• Suitable capacity: the 150 kg capacity allows it to support healthcare professionals in sustained working positions without structural failure, an essential element for stability during prolonged procedures.

The step stool is intended for operating rooms and surgical departments of hospital facilities, where medical operators and nurses require elevated access to operating tables, instrumentation stations, or elevated work surfaces.

It is ideal in contexts where sanitation regulations are strict and deep cleaning cycles are frequent, thanks to the easy removal of the top and the resistance of materials to hospital chemical and thermal processes.

Also applicable in controlled sterile environments, endoscopy rooms, experimental surgery laboratories, and specialized inpatient wards where a temporary mobile support with anti-corrosion constraints is necessary.

Choose this step stool when working in a hospital environment that requires corrosion resistance and biocompatibility certifications. It is the correct solution if your protocol includes autoclave sterilization cycles or sanitation with aggressive detergents.

It is suitable when you need a stable and mobile single-step support with a reduced width footprint (35 cm depth) and when access to the substructure for cleaning must be simplified by removing the top.

It represents the mandatory choice if local hospital regulations prescribe stainless steel for all equipment in the operating room and if your operational budget includes intensive maintenance and frequent sanitization cycles.

What is the difference between this step stool and a standard painted steel model?

Stainless steel does not rust even after prolonged exposure to hospital detergents, alcohol, chlorine, and repeated autoclave cycles. Painted steel risks paint chipping and the appearance of rust under the chips, making cleaning difficult and failing to meet hospital standards. Furthermore, stainless steel ensures natural electrostatic dissipation, whereas paint compromises it.

Do the antistatic feet require maintenance?

The feet made of antistatic plastic material maintain their dissipative properties for years under normal hospital conditions. It is sufficient to ensure that contact with the floor remains clean and that height adjustments are made periodically if the floor shows signs of settling. They do not require lubrication or routine replacement.

Can the removable top be sterilized in an autoclave?

Yes, the corrugated stainless steel top is fully compatible with saturated steam autoclave cycles up to 134°C. Removal also allows for the substructure to be sterilized without bulk, a practical procedure for compliance with ISO 9001 hospital protocols and sanitation regulations.

Is the 150 kg capacity sufficient for use in the operating room?

The 150 kg capacity is dimensioned to support a healthcare operator (average weight 70-80 kg) plus surgical tools, limbs lifted during procedures, and dynamic movements on the step. If you anticipate significant additional loads (stretchers, heavy equipment), contact the supplier to verify higher capacity solutions.

How are the feet adjusted in height?

The feet have an internal thread that allows them to be unscrewed (extended) or screwed in (shortened) manually. The operation takes about 2-3 minutes to compensate for floor irregularities of up to 2-3 cm. It is not necessary to disassemble the structure; the adjustment is done in place.

What regulations does this product certify?

AISI 304 stainless steel (hospital grade) complies with UNI EN ISO 1872 (corrosion resistance), UNI EN ISO 9001 (management quality), and Italian hospital biomedical safety protocols. Check the supplier’s documentation for specific certifications for the model in question.
