One Tray System
NO MANUAL HANDLING
Store and easily transfer bodies from racks to trolleys, PM stations, embalming and even viewing rooms and back to racks on one tray.
HISTORY
The One-Tray System was implemented by Shotton Parmed over 35 years ago, with the intention of eliminating as much effort as possible with the manual transfer of cadavers across multiple areas, from storage through to the various workstations that maybe required within an array of different applications. Since then, the concept has been used within a wide variety of institutions across Australia.
WORK SMARTER
The body remains on the same tray throughout all procedures in the institution, with transfer to and from the autopsy/viewing/embalming station affected simply and quickly using a lifter trolley. If it is a case of retrieval from the ward, the lifter is often sent up to the ward with an empty tray on to which the body is transferred.
PRINCIPLE
The key principle behind the One-Tray System is the body tray. This tray is designed, not only to store the body, but also provide a stable work platform for procedures performed on the same body, including autopsies, dissection and embalming. The tray has features built in that optimises fluid drainage, and also access to the body.
SAFETY
The One-Tray System intention is to eliminate physical effort from the manual lifting and transfers from handling methods, thus helping minimise debilitating injuries from occurring within a workplace and reducing OHS liabilities from those incidents to businesses.
