Healthcare has always been an important priority in the world, especially with the pandemic. Medical establishments have made a point to use tools and equipment that pathogens can’t thrive in. To assist in improving the state of healthcare in medical facilities and clinics Australia wide, ICONA has a range of healthcare waterproof keyboards that can be easily disinfected!
The Importance of Healthcare Keyboards
Regular keyboards may suffice in some offices and other fields, but medical establishments require a special type of keyboard. A keyboard that can prevent infections, can be disinfected, easily cleaned and are an excellent multi-faceted medical tool. Healthcare keyboards are good examples of how the COVID-19 pandemic demand higher standards for medical devices.
Keyboards can become fomites, objects that have a high potential of becoming a breeding ground for bacteria or germs, over time. Fomites play a huge part for person-to-person transmission to happen. Knowing this, manufacturers of healthcare keyboards were prompted to design and treat them in such a way as that would make them fomite-proof.
Healthcare keyboards are completely sealed embedded with antibacterial silicone material, waterproof IP68 rated (letting them handle more meticulous cleaning) and have excellent hygienic properties. They are easily cleaned with warm soapy water or hospital grade antibacterial wipes and sprays.
