Description
Praticima Pharmacy Cabinet with Curtain Door
The Praticima Pharmacy Cabinet with Curtain Door is a professional, lockable medical storage cabinet designed for the organised storage of medicines, pharmacy supplies and healthcare consumables in hospitals and clinical environments. Featuring a practical side-opening PVC roller shutter, durable epoxy-treated steel construction and compatibility with 600 x 400 mm modular storage equipment, this pharmacy cabinet provides a flexible solution for medication storage and stock management.
Designed to support the movement of medicines between hospital pharmacies and clinical departments, the cabinet can be configured with compatible drawers, storage bins, pill dispensers, shelves and other pharmacy accessories. Unlike traditional hinged-door cabinets, the Praticima Pharmacy Cabinet features a laterally opening curtain door that retracts into the cabinet structure. This avoids the need for doors to swing out into the surrounding workspace, making it particularly useful in busy pharmacy departments and clinical storage rooms.
The range is available in three sizes, with external widths of 805 mm, 1310 mm and 1550 mm. All models measure 535 mm deep and 2000 mm high.
With key-operated locking as standard, optional code or badge locking and a wide choice of internal configurations, the Praticima Pharmacy Cabinet with Curtain Door offers a versatile storage solution for professional healthcare environments.
Space-Saving Roller Shutter Door
One of the main benefits of the Praticima Pharmacy Cabinet is its side-opening roller shutter. The curtain is manufactured from PVC and features an aluminium terminal blade. Unlike conventional swing doors, the roller shutter moves laterally, allowing staff to access the cabinet without requiring additional space for outward-opening doors. This design is particularly useful in environments where space is limited or where staff regularly access medication storage. Benefits include:
-
No outward-swinging doors to obstruct surrounding areas
-
Convenient access to internal storage compartments
-
Practical operation in busy clinical environments
-
A tidy appearance when the cabinet is closed
-
Lockable access to stored contents
-
Flexible integration into pharmacy storage rooms
The shutter configuration depends on the selected cabinet width. The narrower model uses a single curtain, while the two wider models use double curtains.
Compatible with 600 x 400 mm Modular Storage
The Praticima Pharmacy Cabinet is designed around the 600 x 400 mm modular healthcare storage format. This allows compatible drawers, bins and medication dispensing accessories to be used across selected Praticima fixed cabinets and mobile pharmacy trolleys. The modular design is particularly useful for healthcare facilities seeking to standardise their storage systems. Compatible equipment may include:
-
600 x 400 mm storage drawers
-
Modular pharmacy containers
-
Medication dispensing trays
-
Modulo XL pill dispenser trays
-
Removable shelves
-
Sliding work surfaces
-
Compartment dividers
-
Pharmacy storage bins
The 600 x 400 mm measurement describes the compatible storage module format, not the cabinet's external dimensions.
Flexible Internal Storage Configuration
The cabinet can be fitted with a combination of full-width storage and modular columns. Depending on the selected size, the interior can be divided into two or three compartments across the full height or part of the cabinet.
This enables different storage systems to be combined within one unit. For example, a pharmacy department could configure a cabinet with medication bins on upper shelves, 600 x 400 mm drawers in a lower compartment and a sliding shelf for temporary work or stock handling.
The cabinet can also be configured to accommodate compatible 400 x 400 mm containers alongside 600 x 400 mm storage equipment. The final arrangement depends on the selected cabinet width and the accessories ordered.
Durable Epoxy-Treated Steel Construction
The Praticima Pharmacy Cabinet features a robust steel body designed for regular use in professional healthcare environments. The cabinet body is manufactured from 1.0 mm steel, with an epoxy anti-corrosion treatment. This provides a durable structure for supporting compatible storage components. The steel construction is suitable for routine cleaning and maintenance when used in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. Its fixed design makes it appropriate for pharmacy departments and clinical storage rooms where secure, organised storage is required.
Key Locking with Optional Code and Badge Access
The cabinet is supplied with a key-operated locking system as standard.
Optional locking arrangements include:
-
Mechanical or electronic code-lock options, subject to specification
-
Basic badge-operated locking
-
Badge locking compatible with access-management systems
These options allow healthcare facilities to select an access arrangement suited to their internal medication management procedures. Code and badge locking can be particularly useful where multiple authorised staff members require regular access. The appropriate security configuration should be selected according to the organisation's medicines management policies.
Supporting Pharmacy-to-Ward Medication Management
The Praticima Pharmacy Cabinet with Curtain Door is designed to complement compatible mobile medication storage and distribution equipment. The shared 600 x 400 mm format can help healthcare facilities organise medicines and supplies across pharmacy and ward environments. Potential operational benefits include:
-
More consistent storage layouts
-
Compatibility with selected mobile medication equipment
-
Flexible compartment organisation
-
Easier identification of stock
-
Support for departmental medication distribution workflows
-
The ability to adapt storage arrangements as requirements change
The manufacturer also offers configured cabinets intended for allocation-based and first-in, first-out stock management. These arrangements depend on the selected internal accessories and the procedures followed by staff.
