A shielded hospital caster has a structural framework which sustains the solid steel axle and nut for mounting on furniture, a rolling axle, on which wheels are mounted, each wheel having an intermediary part having gear segments on a side facing the framework. The wheels are fixed to the framework through nuts and sealed externally through hubs. In one version, the caster has a device mounted at the lower base of the framework and comprising a moving body activated by a brake pedal. The device controls locking or release of rotation in the vertical axle itself through engagement of the head of the moving body on a toothed track of the caster and controls locking or release in the rolling direction by engagement of teeth of lateral flaps the moving body with the gear segments of the wheels. In the second version, the device is formed by a fixed body.
