Medical Equipment Cases: ATA Cases

ATA cases are a type of protective casing designed for transporting and storing medical equipment. These cases are commonly used in the healthcare industry to protect valuable and sensitive equipment during transportation from manufacturer to customer and around different facility locations. They are also used to store equipment when it is not in use, ensuring that it remains in good condition and is ready for use when needed.

What are the benefits of ATA cases?

One of the main benefits of using ATA cases for medical equipment is their durability and reliability. The shell of an ATA case is designed to withstand the rigors of transportation and handling, such as impacts, shocks, and other types of wear and tear. The interior is typically then filled with custom foam to perfectly fit your equipment. This makes them ideal for protecting delicate and expensive medical equipment, as well as ensuring that it remains functional and ready for use at all times.

In addition to their durability, ATA cases also offer a number of other benefits for medical equipment. They are water- and dust-resistant, which helps to protect the equipment from moisture and other environmental factors that could potentially cause damage. They can also have locking mechanisms that keep the equipment secure and prevent unauthorized access.

What kind of ATA cases are available?

There are several different types of ATA cases available, each designed to meet specific needs and requirements. Some are designed specifically for larger pieces of equipment, such as imaging machines or mobile care devices, while others are more suitable for smaller items, such as monitors or radiopharmaceuticals. The larger cases typically include wheels so that it can be easily moved, while small cases may have handles to pick it up, or a telescoping handle and wheels to roll it behind you.

Depending on your needs, you can customize almost every aspect of an ATA case as well. Most ATA cases can include custom:

  • Trays
  • Wheels
  • Shelves
  • Handles
  • Dividers
  • Removable sides
  • Waterjet cut foam
  • Anti-static or anti-microbial foam
