Praticima Pili 4.21 Storage Column – Mobile Medication Dispenser Storage for Care Homes and Pharmacies
The Praticima Pili 4.21 Storage Column is a mobile, high-capacity medication dispenser storage solution designed to help healthcare professionals organise and access weekly medication treatments efficiently. Developed by Praticima, a specialist French manufacturer of healthcare equipment, the storage column is specifically designed for use with Pili 4.21 pill dispensers.
With a maximum capacity of 63 compatible dispensers, the column provides substantial storage in a compact, space-saving design. It is particularly suitable for nursing homes, residential care facilities, pharmacies and other healthcare environments where multiple medication dispensers need to be organised within a central preparation or distribution area. The storage column features a robust steel framework with an epoxy anti-corrosion treatment, providing a durable structure designed for intensive professional use.
Its specially adapted storage arrangement keeps compatible Pili 4.21 dispensers securely positioned while allowing convenient access when required. The column is mounted on four 65 mm castors, including two braked castors, enabling staff to reposition the unit within suitable healthcare environments. Additional construction features include black ABS corner components, grey ABS dividers, double non-marking rubber tyres and a polyamide cap. Measuring 490 mm wide × 413 mm deep × 1,775 mm high, the Praticima Pili 4.21 Storage Column provides a practical vertical storage solution where available floor space is limited. The column has an empty weight of 30 kg and is designed to support organised medication management workflows.
Available from John Preston, the Praticima Pili 4.21 Storage Column is an excellent choice for care homes, pharmacies and healthcare facilities seeking dedicated storage for compatible weekly medication dispensers.
Designed for Pili 4.21 Medication Dispensers
The Praticima Pili 4.21 Storage Column has been developed specifically for the Pili 4.21 medication dispensing system. Its storage arrangement is adapted to the format of these dispensers, allowing them to be positioned securely and accessed conveniently. This dedicated compatibility is particularly valuable for organisations using Pili 4.21 dispensers as part of their weekly medication preparation and distribution procedures.
- Dedicated compatibility with Pili 4.21 dispensers
- Organised medication dispenser storage
- Convenient access to individual dispensers
- Stable positioning within the storage column
- High-capacity vertical storage
- Practical integration into medication preparation areas
Capacity for Up to 63 Pili 4.21 Dispensers
One of the main advantages of the Pili 4.21 Storage Column is its high storage capacity. The column can accommodate a maximum of 63 compatible Pili 4.21 pill dispensers. This makes it suitable for facilities managing medication treatments for multiple residents or patients. By storing dispensers in one dedicated unit, healthcare teams can maintain a more organised medication preparation or distribution area.
- Centralised medication dispenser storage
- Efficient use of available floor space
- Reduced need for multiple separate storage units
- Convenient organisation of weekly medication treatments
- Practical access for authorised healthcare staff
The maximum capacity refers to compatible Pili 4.21 dispensers, not the number of medicines or doses that can be stored.
Compact Vertical Storage Design
The Praticima Pili 4.21 Storage Column combines a large dispenser capacity with a compact footprint. At just 490 mm wide and 413 mm deep, it can be positioned in suitable medication rooms, pharmacy preparation areas and other healthcare storage environments. Its vertical design provides space for up to 63 dispensers without requiring a large amount of floor space. This makes it particularly useful for facilities where medication management equipment must be organised within limited available space.
Mobile Design with Four Castors
The storage column is fitted with four 65 mm castors.
- Four 65 mm diameter castors
- Two castors with brakes
- Two swivel castors
- Double non-marking rubber tyres
The castor arrangement allows the unit to be repositioned within suitable indoor healthcare environments. The brakes help keep the column stationary when positioned for use. Staff should secure the brakes when the column is not being moved and follow safe handling procedures when transporting a loaded unit.
Durable Epoxy-Treated Steel Construction
The Pili 4.21 Storage Column features a robust steel construction designed for professional healthcare use. The upright framework is manufactured from square steel tubing with an epoxy anti-corrosion treatment. The cladding panels are also made from epoxy-treated sheet steel. This construction provides a durable storage structure intended for regular use in medication preparation and dispensing environments. The materials are selected to support practical cleaning and maintenance in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
ABS Dividers and Protective Components
The column incorporates several durable polymer components.
- Grey ABS dividers
- Black ABS corner components
- Polyamide (PA) cap
The ABS dividers help create the dispenser-specific storage arrangement. The corner components and cap form part of the overall column construction. Together with the steel structure, these materials provide a practical storage system for repeated professional use.
Convenient Access to Weekly Medication Treatments
Praticima highlights convenient dispenser access as one of the main benefits of the Pili 4.21 Storage Column. The storage arrangement allows a compatible dispenser to be accessed with a single movement. This supports a smooth workflow where staff need to retrieve medication dispensers during preparation, checking or distribution. The column can help organise weekly medication treatments without requiring individual dispensers to be stored in separate cupboards or containers.
Medication checking and administration must still follow the healthcare organisation's approved procedures.
Suitable for Nursing Homes and Care Facilities
The Pili 4.21 Storage Column is particularly suitable for nursing homes and other residential healthcare settings. These facilities often manage weekly medication treatments for multiple residents. A dedicated storage column can help staff organise compatible dispensers within a medication preparation area.
- Nursing homes
- Residential care homes
- Long-stay healthcare facilities
- Specialist care centres
- Medication preparation rooms
- Healthcare dispensing areas
The correct storage arrangement should be selected according to the organisation's medication management policies.
Suitable for Pharmacies
The Praticima Pili 4.21 Storage Column is also designed for pharmacy environments. Its dispenser-specific layout provides an organised way to store multiple Pili 4.21 dispensers. This may be useful in settings where dispensers are prepared, checked or organised before distribution. The column is a storage accessory and does not itself dispense, check or administer medicines.
Supporting Efficient Medication Management
Organised medication storage can help healthcare teams maintain a clear workflow. The Praticima Pili 4.21 Storage Column provides a dedicated location for compatible medication dispensers. Its high capacity and convenient dispenser access can support:
- Organised weekly treatment preparation
- Centralised dispenser storage
- Efficient use of medication room space
- Easier retrieval of compatible dispensers
- Consistent storage arrangements
- Practical medication management workflows
The column should be used alongside appropriate medication security, preparation and administration procedures.
Easy-to-Clean Materials
Praticima identifies robust, easy-to-clean materials as a key feature of the storage column. The combination of epoxy-treated steel and ABS components is designed for regular professional use. Cleaning should be carried out using products and methods approved by the manufacturer. Particular attention should be paid to local infection prevention procedures and any requirements associated with medication preparation areas.
