Pegasus Medical Storage Solutions
Plan modular medical storage around the supplies, people, replenishment steps, and transport routes in your healthcare facility—not just a shelf count.
Start with the workflow
Medical storage works better when every location has a job
A useful solution connects package fit, access, replenishment, and transport. It gives the people who stock and use the room a clear, workable place for each item.
Healthcare supply areas can have ample shelving yet still feel crowded or difficult to replenish. Active stock may mix with reserve inventory, packages may not have a stable location, or a cart may obstruct the same aisle another person needs. The better starting point is the movement of material through the department.
Map where supplies arrive, wait, get picked, travel, and return. Include the people who retrieve material as well as the people who stock it. That conversation helps distinguish a stationary rack from a transport cart, an open location from an enclosed one, and a useful modular layout from a generic row of shelves.
- Bring representative packages and intended quantities.
- Record room constraints, route turns, doors, and parking locations.
- Separate point-of-use stock from bulk reserve stock.
- Identify who responds when a location needs replenishment.
Build the right system
Combine modular storage, racks, and carts intentionally
Pegasus Medical’s product family includes storage racks, modular baskets and trays, open and enclosed carts, cabinetry, and related workflow options. Each can serve a different step in the supply path.
Modular storage
Match baskets or trays to real package sizes, label needs, and the way staff reach and restock each location.
Stationary storage
Use racks or cabinetry to establish stable supply locations, reserve stock areas, and organized room zones.
Transport storage
Use carts as part of a defined route, with a place to load, unload, park, clean, and return them.
Start with representative supplies—not uniform bins
Small, frequently used consumables, large wrapped items, and items that cannot be compressed rarely belong in the same arrangement. Review what must fit, how it is identified, whether it is removed for cleaning or restocking, and how a user reaches the last item without disturbing adjacent contents.
Keep the resulting equipment and module schedule with the room plan. It makes proposal comparisons clearer and gives the facility a reference during receiving and future changes.
For sterile storage that calls for treated shelf surfaces, Pegasus also offers Hygieia antibacterial shelving with antimicrobial shelves and ABS trays. See sizes and item numbers on our Pegasus antimicrobial shelving page, or compare other brands in our antimicrobial shelving guide.
Plan the operating sequence
Make the route and replenishment process part of the quote
Capture usable space, doors, turns, nearby equipment, and high-use locations.
Group representative items by package fit, access frequency, and reserve quantity.
Check movement from delivery through stocking, retrieval, and cart return.
Have regular users retrieve, restock, label, and park the proposed arrangement.
A cart is a moving part of the storage system
Measure the complete travel path, including door clearances, turns, thresholds, elevators, waiting positions, and unloading space. A cart that fits in the destination room may not be practical along the route that leads to it.
Describe what travels on each trip and ask the final proposal to identify the selected cart, caster arrangement, accessories, and applicable loading instructions. Do not infer capacity or accessory compatibility from a product photo.
For replenishment, define the signal, the recipient, the expected response, and what happens when a location remains unfilled. RFID Kanban can support an agreed workflow, but it does not replace the facility’s ownership and exception process.
Healthcare applications
Match the configuration to the department and handling procedure
The same product family can serve different workflows, but the facility should review the selected equipment against the conditions of the actual room and process.
SPD/CSSD and wrapped instrument workflows
Pegasus describes its No-Touch approach as moving wrapped instrument packs in handled carriers such as baskets or shelves. This may help define a handling sequence, but the equipment itself does not establish sterility, compliance, or suitability for a given process.
Have sterile-processing personnel review the proposed components, cleaning instructions, instrument packaging, and facility procedure together. A careful review should cover where a pack enters the carrier, how it travels, where it is stored, and how it is presented for use.
For supply rooms, treatment areas, and other healthcare locations, similarly review access, cleaning, material compatibility, and the facility’s own requirements before specifying a final configuration.
Keep a location map that staff can maintain
A stable location identity connects the physical position to the approved item and stocking quantity. Use color as a supporting cue, not the only way to distinguish contents. Set a controlled way to update a label and the related inventory record together.
After installation, observe the arrangement during a normal shift. Review locations that empty early, stay overfilled, cause repeated searching, or create a bottleneck. The underlying issue may be a stocking rule or delivery timing—not more equipment.

Frequently asked questions
Pegasus Medical storage FAQ
Answers for early project planning. Confirm selected components, instructions, and facility requirements in the final configuration.
What is Pegasus Medical storage used for?
Pegasus Medical offers storage racks, modular baskets and trays, carts, cabinetry, and workflow-oriented options for healthcare supply areas. The right configuration depends on the contents, room conditions, retrieval pattern, and the facility’s own procedures.
How do we decide between a rack, cart, or enclosed cabinet?
Start with the work at that location. Open racks can make routine supplies visible; a transport cart supports movement along a defined route; and an enclosed option may suit locations where the facility wants to manage access or protect contents. Review the room and workflow before selecting equipment.
Can we use Pegasus equipment for sterile-processing or CSSD/SPD areas?
Pegasus offers solutions for SPD/CSSD applications, but storage equipment alone does not establish sterility, compliance, or suitability for a particular process. The responsible facility team should review the selected configuration, materials, cleaning instructions, and handling procedure.
What does the No-Touch concept mean?
Pegasus describes No-Touch as using handled carriers such as shelves or baskets to move wrapped instrument packs through a workflow. It is a handling approach; it does not independently guarantee sterile status or replace the facility’s validated process.
How should we plan a medical supply cart route?
Measure the entire route—not only the destination room. Include doors, turns, elevators, thresholds, parking, loading/unloading space, and what travels on each trip. Confirm the exact cart, caster arrangement, accessories, and loading instructions in the final quoted configuration.
Does RFID Kanban eliminate the need to manage inventory?
No. An RFID Kanban workflow can support a replenishment signal, but it still needs clear location labels, assigned response ownership, stocking rules, and a process for exceptions. Confirm the software, integration, and support scope for the specific proposed system.
What should be included in a Pegasus Medical quote request?
Send the room plan or usable dimensions, representative package sizes, desired quantities, route constraints, access/cleaning considerations, and the people who use and replenish the area. That lets the equipment schedule address the actual workflow rather than only a shelf count.
