Pegasus Hygieia antibacterial shelving for sterile storage
Pegasus Medical Concepts presents Hygieia antibacterial shelving as a way to take sterile storage to the next level with antimicrobial shelves and solid trays. The system pairs an anodized aluminum structure with green antimicrobial shelves in three sizes and ABS storage trays that contain antibacterial agents.
MH-USA represents Pegasus and helps healthcare teams plan Hygieia layouts, quantities and freight. To compare Hygieia with polymer, epoxy wire and powder-coated steel options, see our antimicrobial shelving hub.
Important: Antimicrobial product protection is built into specific shelf materials to inhibit the growth of odor- and stain-causing microbes on that product surface. It does not protect people, replace cleaning or disinfection, and is not a substitute for your facility’s infection-prevention protocols.
Hygieia features listed by Pegasus
Pegasus lists these features on its Hygieia antibacterial shelving page:
- Antimicrobial shelves and solid trays for sterile storage.
- A defense against microbes, bacteria, fungi and molds on the treated surfaces.
- Continuous protection for the entire life of the shelving system.
- A treatment Pegasus describes as suitable for direct food contact.
- A temperature range from -22°F (-30°C) to +194°F (+90°C).
- An anodized aluminum structure that will not rust.
If your evaluation committee needs efficacy data, ask us to request Pegasus’s current test documentation for the antimicrobial shelves and trays.
Why the temperature range matters
A shelf rated from -22°F to +194°F covers far more than room-temperature storage. It spans cold rooms and the warm, humid air found near washers and processing equipment. When one shelving standard can be used throughout a department, layouts, spare parts and staff training stay simpler.
Why a rust-free structure matters
Sterile and clean storage areas are wiped often. On painted or plated steel, a chip in the finish exposes metal that can corrode in damp conditions. Pegasus states the Hygieia anodized aluminum structure will not rust, so the frame does not depend on an intact paint layer to stay presentable and cleanable over time.
Hygieia antimicrobial shelf sizes and item numbers
| Item number | Metric size | Imperial size | Typical planning use |
|---|---|---|---|
| HYG-SHELF-AM-UU | 60 x 83 cm | 23.6 x 32.7 in | Narrow bays, alcoves and end-of-run positions |
| HYG-SHELF-AM-UUU | 60 x 128 cm | 23.6 x 50.4 in | Main runs where wide bays maximize storage |
| HYG-SHELF-AM-EE | 37.5 x 123 cm | 14.8 x 48.5 in | Shallow runs along corridors or tight rooms |
Choosing a shelf size
The three sizes give you two depths: roughly 23.6 in and 14.8 in. Deeper shelves hold more and suit trays and larger packs. The shallow EE shelf suits narrow rooms where a full-depth unit would block circulation or door swings. The planning-use column is MH-USA guidance.
Mix sizes in one room so every wall is used. We confirm the frame components, uprights and accessories each size needs when we prepare the quote.
Load and configuration
Load ratings depend on the shelf, the frame configuration and how weight is distributed. Pegasus’s antibacterial shelving page does not publish a load rating for these shelves, so we confirm capacity with Pegasus for your configuration before you order. Plan heavy items on lower shelves and keep the heaviest trays at waist height for safer lifting.
Antimicrobial ABS trays and modules
Pegasus lists infection-control storage modules made of ABS with antibacterial agents:
- T104060ND-AM: 10 cm (4 in) deep tray.
- T104060-AM: 10 cm (4 in) deep tray.
- T204060-AM: 20 cm (8 in) deep tray.
Shallow trays suit small, high-count items; deeper trays hold bulkier kits and wrapped items.
Planning with trays
Trays group like items, lift packs off the shelf and can be removed for cleaning. Label each tray and assign it a fixed location so restocking follows a par level instead of guesswork. Order a few spare trays so cleaning rotations do not leave gaps.
We match tray quantities to your supply list and confirm which trays fit each shelf size.
Where Pegasus antimicrobial shelving fits
Pegasus positions Hygieia for sterile storage. Typical areas where healthcare teams consider antimicrobial shelving and trays include:
- Sterile storage rooms: organized open shelving with trays near the point of use.
- Clean supply and central supply: high-turnover consumables kept in labeled trays.
- Procedure areas: supply alcoves where surfaces are wiped often.
- Pharmacy and clean rooms: storage that tolerates frequent cleaning.
- Cold rooms: storage within the -22°F to +194°F range Pegasus lists.
- Hospital food service: Pegasus describes the treatment as suitable for direct food contact.
For room planning ideas see our hospital stock room design guide, and for the broader brand range visit our Pegasus Medical page.
Cleaning and care
Antimicrobial shelves still need cleaning. Write a routine that names who cleans, how often, which products are used and how surfaces are dried before restocking. Remove trays on a schedule and clean shelves top and bottom.
Confirm chemical compatibility before changing disinfectants. Plastics and anodized finishes can react differently to aggressive chemicals, so we check approved cleaning agents with Pegasus for the components on your order.
Keep the lowest shelf high enough for floor cleaning and leave space behind units so walls can be reached. These layout details make the cleaning routine practical, which is where most of the value of an antimicrobial surface comes from.
Replacement parts
Order replacement shelves and trays by the item numbers above so every component in the system stays consistent with the original specification. Keep a parts list with the room drawing.
Planning a Pegasus Hygieia project
Measure the room
Wall lengths, door swings, ceiling height and any sinks, drains or sprinklers.
List the supplies
Item counts by size, so we can size bays, shelves and trays.
Pick shelf sizes
Combine UU, UUU and EE shelves to fill each wall.
Plan trays
4 in and 8 in trays by item type and par level.
Confirm loads and cleaning
We verify capacity and approved chemicals with Pegasus for your configuration.
Send a sketch, a few photos and a supply list. We return a layout with item numbers and quantities, then a quote with freight and installation options.
How Hygieia compares with other antimicrobial options
Choose Hygieia when you want a rust-free aluminum structure with antimicrobial shelves and trays for sterile storage. Polymer shelving such as Metro MetroMax is a strong alternative in kitchens and coolers and is available online in standard sizes; see our Metro antimicrobial shelving guide. Epoxy-coated wire costs less but relies on its coating to resist rust.
| Consideration | Pegasus Hygieia | Epoxy or powder-coated steel |
|---|---|---|
| Structure | Anodized aluminum; Pegasus states it will not rust | Steel protected by its coating |
| Treated parts | Antimicrobial shelves and ABS trays | Coating, where an antimicrobial finish is specified |
| Temperature range | -22°F to +194°F (Pegasus) | Varies by product |
| Buying | Quoted to your room | Some sizes available online |
