In hygienically demanding surroundings, all surfaces and objects with which personnel come into contact must be sterile. An antimicrobial foil membrane on a membrane keyboard, like the keywi MediBoard, ensures consistent protection against bacterial contamination.  

Hoffmann + Krippner uses a special membrane foil coated in Microban and surrounds it in a completely sealed, beautifully designed exterior housing that is scratch and chemical resistant and withstands common disinfectants.  The super flat outer surface of the keyboard is splash-proof according to IP 65 [NEMA 4X] standards, making it quick and easy to clean – an important factor in busy hospital environments. The keywi Mediboard also has individually domed keys, creating excellent tactile response even with gloved hands and has an optional integrated mouse pad. 

Hoffmann + Krippner’s confidence in the antimicrobial technology is evidenced by the fact that they offer a 10-year warranty on the antimicrobial effect of the keywi MediBoard.

Antimicrobial keyboards are advantageous for use in any area that will benefit from consistent protection against bacterial contamination but especially in Hospital Emergency and Operating Rooms where the need for hygienic surroundings are most vital.  The sense of urgency that hospital employees must have in order to give patients appropriate attention cannot be at the expense of quality of care and patient safety. 

Using an antimicrobial PC keyboard, like the keywi Mediboard, is a significant step forward in the drive to tackle Hospital-Acquired Infections and cut the number of cases of MRSA and other communicable diseases and illnesses.

Like the keywi MediBoard, the keywi HeavyBoard is splash-proof according to IP65 and, therefore, easy and fast to clean. The super flat housing is not only tough, it is scratch and chemical-resistant and is unaffected by grit and grime. 

In an industrial environment, machinery is typically operated with heavy gloves to ensure safety.  Hoffmann + Krippner used their innovative GT technology to make sure the tactile feedback from the keywi HeavyBoard lets the operator know they have depressed the correct key. In addition, they have developed a super resistive mouse pad, further guaranteeing good tactile sensation and easy operation - with and without protective gloves.
