Medical keyboards from PUREKEYS enable comfortable hygiene
Anyone who deals with perfect hygiene in the medical environment today thinks first of disinfectants, gloves, gowns and face masks. However, the main vectors for the spread of germs are still often overlooked in hygiene management: computer keyboards. Used in the medical setting, they rapidly contain a broad spectrum of pathogens that can pose a serious risk of infection to patients. With PUREKEYS hygiene keyboards, this risk is easily eliminated.
Step away from conventional keyboards!
Large dental practices and medical practices experience a high daily throughput of patients. And with lots of staff, lots of hands are involved to ensure a smooth process. Whether directly on the patient or on objects such as the computer keyboard, the fingers do a lot of the work. They also carry germs very quickly. These can be viruses such as Sars, Corona and influenza, but also bacteria such as salmonella or streptococci, to name but a few. What most people do not know: it has been proven that a particularly large number of pathogens are found on conventional computer keyboards used in practice. The enormous spectrum of germs there is obviously even greater than on door handles and toilet seats. The reason: they are touched by a particularly large number of different hands and can only be disinfected very poorly due to the gaps between the keyboards.
PUREKEYS keyboard hygiene for more patient safety
The Robert Koch Institute has pointed out this lack of hygiene in the field of keyboards since 2010 and suggests taking this factor into account. The only remedy is keyboards specially designed for hygiene. You come to the multi-care dental center of Dr. Dr. Kai D. Hashemian in Germersheim. More than 20 employees work here for the well-being of the patients and twelve PUREKEYS hygiene computer keyboards and mice contribute. "We have been using PUREKEYS hygiene keyboards for about three years - in treatment rooms, in the X-ray area, in sterilization and prophylaxis," says a dental assistant who works with PUREKEYS daily. ''There are about 40 patient documentations that each keyboard can handle every day. We have to enter a lot of data. And after each patient, the keyboard is disinfected with a disinfectant wipe in seconds. It saves time and it's simple''*.
Convenient, germ-free and mobile within the practice
The disadvantages of other hygienic keyboards, such as the risk of breakage with glass hygienic keyboards or poor wipeability with raised key silicone keyboards, do not exist with PUREKEYS. Because it combines the advantages of a conventional keyboard with the advantages of a hygienic keyboard. It is smooth, unbreakable, lightweight, sturdy, impermeable to liquids, sanitized in seconds with a wipe, and makes the user feel comfortable while writing. Due to the special construction of the substructure and the surface, it even has a keystroke that corresponds to the keystroke of a conventional keyboard. And should the rugged surface become damaged after years of use, it can be replaced immediately and inexpensively without changing the entire keyboard.
Purekeys B.V. was founded in 2012 by experienced IT experts Hans Struwe and Henk Smit in Groningen (the Netherlands) and developed the purekeys keyboard from experience in IT service for the medical sector.
