Blickman:
Pioneers of the Modern Case Cart

The invention of the case cart in the late-1960’s ushered in new possibilities for efficiently supporting

major surgical procedures. Before then, all the instrumentation and supplies per procedure had to be

assembled separately — an extraordinarily time-consuming process for O.R. surgical staff. However,

the first case-cart design by another manufacturer was far from ideal: it featured two, separate

stainless-steel enclosures, each supported by four casters, that were hinged together along one end

and opened up “like a clamshell.” The result was exceedingly cumbersome for both transport and cleaning.

The Blickman Breakthrough

Blickman’s breakthrough in the early 1970’s was to reconfigure the stainless steel case

cart as one, integrated, mobile cabinet with doors- a much more compact, stable and

secure solution that remains the design standard to date. Blickman also hinged the

doors to secure them to the sides of the cart when the doors were open. Now, O.R.

Surgical staff could transport fully-loaded case carts throughout the facility and the

doors remained closed for increased protection. Moreover, the cleaning of the carts

Carriage, circa 1947.

now became a simple and easy task.

Blickman has continued to set engineering and design standards for modern

case carts. Our broad offering of case carts remains the most durable and highest

functioning on the market. In fact, Blickman is the only manufacturer in its

class to offer a Lifetime Limited Warranty. Moreover, Blickman’s advanced

engineering capabilities enable us to customize case cart designs to satisfy

virtually any unique requirement your facility may have.

So whether your requirement is for:

• 700 customized case carts for a robotically-operated S.P. system,

as Blickman recently supplied to several of the world's most prestigious

hospital systems...

or

• Equipping a single O.R. suite from right out of our catalog...
