Innovative Headwalls for Ambulatory Surgical Centers
Working in healthcare can be a whirlwind, specifically in Ambulatory Surgical Centers (ASCs) and pre/post op facilities. In centers where multiple patients are being brought in and out for crucial surgeries your space needs to keep up. Luckily, SHIELD Headwalls provide everything any facility could need for keeping patients safe and comfortable during their medical procedures.
Need a centralized hub for all your medical utilities? We’ve got you. Want something durable yet modern? Say less. Our headwalls fabricated from acrylic solid surface are built to last (so much so we’ve backed it with a lifetime warranty) and look stunning all the same.
Adaptability is key within ASC spaces. Each patient will have unique needs during their procedures and our headwalls are equipped to be sure nothing gets forgotten. With customizable layouts, easy access to critical utilities and quick installation with modular design; it doesn’t get any easier than this.

Purpose Built for Meeting Patient Needs
We’ve often stressed that our headwalls are incredible additions to patient rooms, and they are. By consolidating all medical gas outlets, electrical outlets and data ports into one structured piece, patients can be assured their healing process will be smooth while also creating a comforting and modern aesthetic.
However, patient rooms aren’t the only spaces where headwalls are necessary. In ASC and pre/post-op facilities, the demands are even greater. Seeing a high turnover of patients each day, the need for adaptable, efficient and safe medical setups is a top priority. In fact, the features that make SHIELD headwalls perfect for patient rooms are able to be adapted for quality use in a more strenuous environment including;
- Efficiency: By offering a centralized hub for all critical utilities, staff is ensured quick and efficient access to necessities during surgeries. The modular design also supports rapid patient turnover, allowing for quick reconfiguration and minimal downtime between procedures.
- Customization: We design our headwalls to accommodate specialized surgical equipment and provide immediate access to essential utilities before, during and after procedures. A customizable layout means the headwall meets the specific needs for various surgical procedures within various spaces.
- Safety: Made with nonporous, antimicrobial acrylic solid surface, SHIELD headwalls are easy to clean which maintains a sterile surgical environment. These qualities also increase the durability of the product, meaning it can withstand rigorous cleaning without compromising the integrity or lifespan of the product.
Key Benefits
SHIELD headwalls are designed to meet substantial demands, offering benefits that not only enhance patient care but also streamline building operations.
- Installation: Delivered on-site as a complete panel and frame ‘system’, on site field labor time is reduced as is construction dust, debris and field rework.
- Integrated Systems: Med-gas connections are pre-fabricated which improves product consistency. With single point connections made above the ceiling, final wiring is simplified.
- Enhanced Quality: Robust solid surface build comes with a lifetime warranty while offering superior durability, microbial resistance and easy cleanability.
- Adaptability: Time and cost of change is simplified and more easily adapted. Light-gauge steel chassis and panels can be modified to accommodate layout changes.
- Proven Reliability: SHIELD headwalls have been utilized in major healthcare systems including UCSD Jacobs Medical Center, MD Anderson Cancer Center, Westchester Medical Center and LeBonheur Children’s Hospital.
- Local Manufacturing: Produced in Kansas City, KS, with reliable supply chain and delivery protocols.
