Introduction:
Choosing a mortuary cabinet may seem straightforward — until you realize the variety of sizes, features, and configurations available. Selecting the right unit is crucial for both functionality and compliance. Here’s a simple guide to help you make an informed decision.
1. Assess Your Capacity Requirements
Start by evaluating the average number of cadavers your facility handles at a time.
Small Clinics: 1–2 body units
Mid-size Hospitals: 3–4 body units
Large Mortuaries/Disaster Centers: 6-body or custom walk-in units
2. Check Available Space
Cabinets come in vertical and horizontal designs. If you have limited floor space, consider a vertical stack system to maximize efficiency.
3. Look for Reliable Cooling
Ensure the unit has:
Dual compressor systems for redundancy
Digital thermostat controls
Uniform cooling in all chambers
4. Consider Mobility & Flexibility
Need to shift the unit frequently? Ask for castor wheels. Planning future expansions? Modular cabinets offer scalability.
5. Custom Features
Some advanced features to consider:
Battery backup
Solar power integration
IoT monitoring for remote access
Anti-bacterial interiors and UV disinfection
6. After-Sales Support
Always choose a manufacturer like Fingertip that offers installation support, warranty, and 24/7 technical assistance.
