Keeping charts, documentation and consumables at the foot of the bed saves nurses time and keeps patient care organised. The Vital Medical ICU bed-end unit consolidates all of this into one mobile station built for critical-care and high-dependency environments.
What is an ICU bed-end unit?
An ICU bed-end unit is a mobile storage and writing station positioned at the foot of a patient’s bed. It holds patient charts, consumables and supplies so that staff can document and access items without leaving the bedside.
Key features
- Sloping chart top: A 1150mm x 600mm formica wood writing surface holds charts at a comfortable angle, with a 32mm aluminium lip at the bottom edge to stop papers sliding off.

- Durable frame: 32mm square tube steel with an epoxy powder-coated finish, resistant to chipping and suitable for the frequent cleaning routines of ICU wards.
- Mobile and stable: Mounted on four 75mm castors, two locking and two swivel, so the unit moves easily between bays and stays put when parked. It weighs approximately 40kg.
