Antimicrobial Castors

Medical Castors — also known as medical caster wheels, hospital bed casters or antimicrobial castors — are essential components for ensuring smooth and hygienic mobility in healthcare environments. Designed for both professional and institutional use, these castors are commonly employed in hospitals, clinics, care homes and laboratories across the UK.

Our range includes both braked and unbraked options, available in diameters from 50mm to 125mm and featuring various mounting types such as threaded stems, metal stems and fixing plates. Constructed with high-quality materials like polyamide bodies and polyurethane tyres, these castors are designed to withstand rigorous use while maintaining a quiet and non-marking performance.

For those interested in other specialised castor wheels, we also offer Anti Static Castors. These are designed to dispel the build up of static electrical charges that can damage sensitive electrical components.
