Touch displays that are used in the medical field, such as in the operating room, dental medicine, patient registration or patient monitoring, must meet special requirements. Companies in the technical healthcare sector should only rely on specialized providers in this area. Since they often have many years of experience in the development of high-quality touch systems and displays.

This experience, combined with the necessary technical knowledge, is important to ensure that the applications are both waterproof and acid-resistant and scratch-resistant, and that operation with gloves is guaranteed.

When choosing a suitable supplier, care should be taken to ensure that it already adheres to the necessary legal regulations, standards (e.g. VDE 0750) and protection tests (e.g. IPX1 to IPX8) during the manufacture of medical devices of this type. The aim is to ensure electrical safety for both patients and users while at the same time guaranteeing consistent product quality.

Since different touch technologies exist, it is often difficult to determine the most suitable one for medical technology. As a rule, it always depends on the specific requirements and the intended use. Whether it is an ultrasound machine, X-ray machine or a device for laboratory analysis - there is currently no touch technology that fully treats all the necessary properties of medical devices. In this case, you have to prioritize what the desired properties such as size, power consumption, response time, legal requirements, complexity, user interface, etc. and then choose accordingly. However, this is where an experienced provider can help you.
