Treatment carts designed for organized storage and transport of instruments, devices, and materials used during orthopedic casting and/or splinting procedures. These carts typically consist of a multiple-drawer, -shelf, or -shelf/drawer cabinet-like structure with sliding doors that is mounted on swivel casters of at least 10 cm (4 in) diameter wheels. The drawers and shelves are appropriate to facilitate the preparation of splints and casts. Casting/splinting treatment carts frequently include cast cutters (i.e., knives, saws) and attachments for suction, built-in grounded electrical outlets, and a large working surface (e.g., the top of the cart) appropriate to prepare splints and casts; they are used in casting and/or emergency rooms and in doctors\' offices for outpatient treatment.
