How can hospitals suppress infection risks?

Hospitals have been created to cure people. The reality turns out to be more stubborn, because they often turn out – as other health care institutions – to be hearths for bacteria. The MRSA bacterium is an unpleasant example of this. Infections cause several victims each year. Naturally, healthcare institutions and hospitals want to reduce the risk of infections as much as possible, but improving hygiene is not easy and it takes a lot of time. Where do you start as an institution?

Forgetting to wash hands

There are a number of solutions on the market that reduce the risk of infections. One of the easiest ways to take a few big steps immediately is to use medical keyboards. Some employees of hospitals, care institutions and medical centers – working at the reception, in the administration or those who take care of the patients in the rooms – do not always consistently wash their hands before using a keyboard. In this way, such a keyboard becomes a risky place for spreading bacteria unless it can be cleaned quickly and efficiently. This is possible thanks to Gett’s medical keyboards. For this reason, Microtron and Gett have teamed up to deliver these tailored tools.

Medical keyboards in the dishwasher?

If you know that some keyboards are more dirty than a toilet seat, it goes without saying that the main argument for choosing Gett’s medical keyboards is reducing the chance of an infection. Gett developed medical keyboards for three healthcare environments: basic, advanced and professional.

The basic medical keyboards can be used at the reception desk. These tools resemble standard keyboards, but are equipped with a silicone mold. This makes it possible to wash them.

The advanced range contains keyboards that are fully enclosed so that not a single impurity can get underneath the keys. Also this keyboard can be wiped off easily and quickly and it can even be put in the dishwasher. A nurse can work with it, on a mobile unit and even let patients use it.

The professional range consists of keyboards with the highest antibacterial degree. These are the ideal keyboards to use in the operating room.

Save on the number of hours of cleaning work

A financially attractive reason to opt for Gett’s medical keyboards is that they save a lot of time in the cleaning process. A hospital that uses 1,000 standard keyboards and cleans them after every patient at 20 patients per day, loses 167 hours per year on this process. With the medical keyboards from Gett this number can be reduced to 28 hours per year. Saving costs and simultaneously reducing risks has never been easier. Or was it the other way around?
