How to Equip a Podiatric Practice: 6 Key Tips for a Professional and Efficient Practice

Installing equipment is a crucial step in opening or modernizing a professional podiatric practice. It’s a moment in which every decision directly influences the quality of service you offer your patients. At Namrol, leaders in podiatry clinic equipment, we support you throughout this process to ensure your practice stands out for its efficiency, comfort, and safe care.

✅ 6 Essential Requirements for Equipping a Podiatric Practice

1. Design and Space: The Foundation of a Functional Practice

Before purchasing any equipment, it is essential to evaluate the available space and ensure it complies with the regulations in force in your autonomous community. Some general recommendations:
  • Minimum surface area: 15 m² for the main podiatry office. And approximately 10 m² for the secondary office.
  • Minimum height: 2.5 meters in clinical work areas.
A well-planned design improves both the comfort of the practitioner and the patient experience.

2. Technical Connections: The Precision That Makes the Difference

Advanced equipment requires specific technical infrastructure:
  • Independent electrical outlets with stable voltage.
  • Certified ground connections.
  • Data lines for digital devices.
  • Namrol equipment does not require external water or air connections, as all systems are integrated into the unit, eliminating the need for additional connections.
Poor installation can limit the equipment’s performance.

3. Accessibility: Commitment to All Patients

Accessibility is not only a legal requirement, but a pillar of a clinic adapted to the comfort of its patients:
    • Entrance door with a minimum of 1 meter of clear passage.
    • Turning space of at least 1.5 meters for wheelchairs.
    • No architectural barriers: eliminate steps or uneven surfaces.
    • Adequate lighting: indirect natural lighting or artificial, white and homogeneous lighting that improves visibility during examinations.

4. Installation Planning: Getting Organized Without Surprises

To avoid interruptions and delays, advance planning is vital:
  • Schedule technical visits in advance.
  • Establish a phased installation plan.
  • Ensure the availability of specialized technicians.
  • Plan for breaks in clinical activity if necessary.
Good organization saves you time, money, and technical problems.

5. Protecting the Environment: Protect Your Workspace

During equipment installation, protect your infrastructure:
  • Use temporary protective materials such as floorliner, pressboard, or technical matting.
  • Avoid damage to walls, corners, doors, and floors.
  • Check the weight and securement of the equipment. Some chairs or units may require floor anchors.
Preventive protection facilitates a clean and safe installation.

6. Managing Old Equipment: Upgrade Hassle-Free

If you’re renovating your practice, keep these aspects in mind:
  • Cost and logistics of removing current equipment.
  • Potential loss of warranty if you handle old equipment.
  • Options for recycling, donating, or selling unused equipment.
  • Review your overall budget to account for unforeseen events.
Planning this step will help you avoid hidden costs and get the most out of your investment.
