UV Coatings for
Medical Device
Displays
Medical device display screens play a critical role in modern healthcare by providing real-time information to healthcare professionals. The display screens, used in hospitals, emergency vehicles and by healthcare providers, must be of high quality, durable, and resistant to scratches and chemicals. UV coatings are a popular choice for medical device display screens because of their many benefits.
UV cured coatings use ultraviolet light to cure a liquid coating into a hard, durable, thermoplastic surface. This process allows for a fast and efficient production process, making it ideal for the medical device industry. Here are some of the benefits of using UV cured coatings for medical device display screens:
SCRATCH RESISTANCE
Medical device display screens are constantly subjected to wear and tear, which cause scratches and damage the screen. UV cured coatings provide a highly scratch-resistant surface that can withstand daily use.
CHEMICAL RESISTANCE
Medical devices often come into contact with chemicals and disinfectants that can damage the screen. UV cured coatings are highly resistant to these chemicals, making them an ideal choice for medical devices.
DURABILITY
UV cured coatings provide a highly durable surface that can withstand impact and other physical damage. This means that the display screen will last longer and require less maintenance.
CLARITY
UV cured coatings provide a clear and transparent surface that allows for easy viewing of the display screen. This is important in medical devices where accurate and clear information is critical.
CUSTOMIZABILITY
UV cured coatings can be customized to meet specific needs, such as anti-glare properties. Anti-glare coatings offered induce specular reflection by reducing bothersome reflections, glare and halos.
ECO-FRIENDLY
UV cured coatings are environmentally friendly as they do not contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can harm the environment.
QUICK CURING TIME
UV cured coatings cure quickly, which means that the production process is fast and efficient, using less energy. This is important in the manufacturing of medical displays, where time is of the essence.
ANTI-MICROBIAL
PCI Lab’s coatings offer groundbreaking solutions for enhancing the safety and cleanliness of medical device displays. These coatings incorporate anti-microbial agents to effectively inhibit the growth and spread of harmful microorganisms on the display’s surface. By harnessing the power of silver ions, these coatings create anti-microbial properties to protect the medical display. Always thoroughly clean product after each use.
UV cured coatings provide a range of tangible benefits for medical device display screens. They are highly durable, scratch-resistant, chemical-resistant, eco-friendly, and
customizable, making them an ideal choice for medical devices.
