Thermoplastic Rubber, or TPR, is a very common material for medical caster wheels. TPR is soft and quiet. It does not leave marks on floors. It also has good shock absorption. TPR wheels are often used on hospital beds and patient transport equipment because they provide a smooth and quiet ride.

Polyurethane, or PU, is another popular material. PU wheels are harder than TPR wheels. They are very durable and resistant to wear. PU wheels can handle heavier loads. They also resist oil and chemicals. This makes them a good choice for equipment that is used in areas where cleaning chemicals are strong.

Nylon wheels are very hard and strong. They can carry very heavy loads. Nylon wheels roll easily and do not absorb water. However, they are noisier than TPR or PU wheels. They are best used on equipment that does not need to be quiet, such as heavy storage carts in hospital basements.

Rubber wheels are soft and have excellent shock absorption. They grip the floor well. But they can leave black marks on light-colored floors. Rubber wheels are less common in modern hospitals but are still used in some special applications.

Phenolic resin wheels are made from layers of fabric and resin pressed together. They are very strong and heat-resistant. They are used on equipment that goes through high-temperature cleaning or sterilization.
In summary, the wheel material should match the equipment weight, floor type, noise requirement, and cleaning method of the hospital.
