Medical-grade casters are built for hospital equipment: quiet operation around 45 dB, total-lock (wheel + swivel) for fixed positioning, smooth tread for hard-surface flooring, and materials suited to infection-control routines. They are specified across hospital floors, sterile processing departments, surgical suites, and imaging equipment where patient-safety and infection-control protocols govern equipment selection.
