GETT Healthcare Keyboards and Mice

Healthcare-ready keyboards and mice

Have you ever taken a closer look at your keyboard? It’s easy—just gently pop off a key with a pen or paperclip, and you’ll be surprised by what you find underneath.

Keyboards and mice are an ideal environment for germs and bacteria. This gives rise to potential risk situations in areas that are exposed to a high risk of infection, like food production or the health sector.

It therefore makes great sense to use special keyboards and mice developed for these areas so that you can achieve the following results:

  • Protect patients and personnel from any pathogens,
  • Protect your employees,
  • Improve the overall hygiene situation,
  • Prevent any nosocomial sicknesses,
  • Guarantee that infections do not spread,
  • Cleanliness and hygiene at public information centers too,
  • Reduce patient treatment times and downtimes by reducing the number of germs.

We can provide washable keyboards and mice to meet any requirements. The spectrum ranges from a water-resistant office keyboard to a fully enclosed professional keyboard for use in extremely critical hygiene situations.

Our portfolio of keyboards and pointing devices for healthcare environments

SILICONE KEYBOARDS

Washable keyboards excel in healthcare settings where surface hygiene is crucial, offering a practical solution for ensuring good workplace hygiene, whether in the operating room or a workstation at a hospital or doctor’s office.

Silicone keyboards are completely sealed and made to withstand a thorough cleaning using water and disinfectants. Despite your best scrubbing efforts, the inside electronics will stay dry!

These silicone keyboards with standard water and dust-resistant features come in different shapes and sizes. Find the one that suits you best here.

Thanks to its physiologically harmless properties, silicone is ideally suited for healthcare settings where hygiene is non-negotiable.

The silicone casing prevents any water from getting inside and allows you to thoroughly and easily wipe down the keyboard. You save time on cleaning and prevent any germs, viruses or bacteria from spreading because the material can take a disinfectant.

GLASS KEYBOARDS

Keyboards made from glass combine elegance with hygiene.

They are ideally suited for healthcare settings like the operating room or patient admission areas where a high level of hygiene needs to be maintained. Thanks to its flat glass surface, a single wipe is all it takes to make the keyboard a germ-free zone.

It doesn’t stop there: Users can benefit from the capacitive keys’ ease of use that involves less strain on the joints, as no mechanical pressure is required.

These keyboards are robust and durable thanks to the use of specialty glass. Glass is a versatile material, allowing different graphics or colors to printed on its surface for endless customization possibilities.

FAQ

What is the difference between a standard office keyboard and one suited for a hospital environment?

Standard office keyboards are designed for general desk work and typically have gaps around the keys, seams and other areas that are difficult to clean thoroughly. They are not usually intended for frequent disinfection or exposure to liquids.

Keyboards suited to hospital environments are designed with hygiene and durability in mind. Smooth, sealed or closed surfaces make wipe disinfection easier, while models with appropriate liquid protection can better withstand spills and regular cleaning. 

How do hospital IT teams standardize keyboards and mice across a large administrative workforce?

Hospital IT teams can define a small range of approved keyboard and mouse models for specific workplace types, such as reception desks, administrative offices, nursing stations and mobile carts. Clear criteria should include compatibility, connectivity, ergonomics, cleanability, durability and replacement requirements.

Standardizing on approved models simplifies purchasing, deployment, user support and replenishment. Working with a supplier that offers consistent specifications, dependable availability and support for volume orders also helps maintain a uniform equipment standard across departments and sites.

Why do healthcare IT teams prioritize easy-to-clean mice for clinical workstations?

Mice are high-touch devices that may be used by multiple people during a shift. Conventional designs with seams, mechanical buttons and scroll wheels can make routine cleaning more difficult.

Easy-to-clean mice use smooth, low-gap or sealed housings that support quick wipe disinfection. This makes hygiene procedures easier to follow at clinical workstations and helps keep the equipment suitable for frequent day-to-day use.

What keyboards and mice work best on a medical cart where space is limited and hygiene is a priority?

Compact, wipeable peripherals are generally best suited to medical carts. A slim keyboard with a smooth or sealed surface, paired with a compact easy-to-clean mouse, helps preserve valuable tray space while supporting routine cleaning.

Wired USB options can be well suited where reliable connectivity and straightforward device management are important. In particularly tight spaces, a compact keyboard layout or an integrated pointing device may be preferable. 

Are there keyboards designed for healthcare environments that resist liquid and frequent cleaning?

Yes. Healthcare keyboards are available with sealed or closed surfaces designed for routine wipe disinfection and, depending on the model, protection against accidental liquid exposure. These products are intended to support use in hygiene-sensitive settings without the cleaning challenges associated with conventional office keyboards.

Where can a hospital buy keyboards, mice, and headsets in bulk for a large administrative department?

Hospitals can purchase peripherals in volume directly from a specialist manufacturer or through an authorized IT or healthcare procurement partner. For large departments, choose a supplier that can provide consistent product availability, documented specifications, sample units, replacement options and support for standardized purchasing.
