End-User Research & Design

Driven by research and end-user insights, Rubbermaid medical carts are designed specifically to meet the unmet needs of the clinical market.

We understand how important consumer insights are in creating new products and we place a high degree of importance in addressing the unmet needs of the user. From that research, concepts are developed by applying knowledge gained to design solutions. Our design team ensure that every aspect of clinical need and product support is considered. Designs are then validated with end-user focus groups as well as various pilot programs to make sure the products are intuitive and easy to use.

Manufacturing

We manufacture products to be durable and long-lasting. Just what you expect from Rubbermaid.

Our products are manufactured with great care to guarantee the highest quality. All of our carts and wall mounted work stations are built to order. This allows a level of customization unparalleled in the industry. The incorporation of six sigma practices permits Rubbermaid Medical Solutions to provide fast turnaround times ensuring we are able to supply hospitals what they need when they need it. In keeping with Rubbermaid tradition, 100% of all products go through a final inspection checklist before they ship.

Testing

Before you see it, all of our products are pushed to the limit at the Rubbermaid test lab.

Rubbermaid products are trusted for their durability and we are keeping that promise through extensive product testing. Advanced equipment is used to guarantee the products will far surpass the required usage in the demanding clinical environment. But product testing doesn't stop there. We continue to test all features of products already in production to confirm we are supplying the best product in the marketplace.
