Blue Bell Bio Medical Carts: A Legacy Replaced by Innovation
Blue Bell Bio Medical Carts, founded in 1982, was the gold standard for hospital anesthesia carts. Unfortunately for fans, the company went out of business around 2000, leaving healthcare facilities scrambling for reliable alternatives.
Looking for an evolved, trusted replacement? Waterloo Healthcare Anesthesia Carts are the answer.
Why Waterloo Healthcare is the Superior Choice
Proven Longevity & Innovation
For over 50 years, Waterloo Healthcare has solely focused on manufacturing medical carts, including code, anesthesia, isolation, and bedside carts. We design, manufacture, service, and sell the best and most durable, fully welded frame, unibody-framed medical storage carts in the world. Many of our carts built in the 1970s are still in service today, a testament to the quality we build into each and every cart we make!
Healthcare continues to evolve, and so do we. Waterloo Healthcare perpetually innovates its carts by manufacturing the best possible aluminum and steel procedure carts for clinicians in the medical industry.
Superior Materials & Construction
Unlike Blue Bell’s steel-only construction, Waterloo offers both aluminum and steel options:
- Lightweight aluminum carts for superior mobility and maneuverability
- Fully welded frame, unibody construction for maximum durability
- Corrosion-resistant materials for appearance and functionality over time
- Full wood grain options for aesthetically pleasing environments
Comprehensive Options & Customization
Our carts are customizable and configurable with a wide variety of accessories to meet and surpass your staff’s needs and optimize point-of-care. Waterloo’s anesthesia carts come standard with features that Blue Bell didn’t offer:
- Side shelves for additional storage and workspace
- Metal drawer dividers for organized medication and supply management
- Auto-closing drawer glides for smooth, reliable operation
- 16 available drawer colors for easy identification and procedure-specific organization
- Multiple locking configurations for key locks, lever locks, and electronic systems that can access “controlled substance” drawers
