Enclosures & Housings Created for Medical Applications

Ergonomic housings for medical electronics

Medical electronic applications require a special breed of enclosures: tough, high-quality and with a wide range of specialized design features. Hospitals, GP surgeries and other healthcare facilities have high demands when it comes to their electronic applications.

 The OKW enclosures are used in a variety of industries, and one industry that has found the OKW product capabilities to be perfectly suitable, is the medical industry. The hand held cases are expertly designed with comfort, safety, and function in mind.

How do they ensure this? It starts with the material. They typically use ABS for the enclosures, and OKW have recently begun using more UV stable ASA materials. 

The next assurance is the design of the products themselves. The products are designed in Munich by a company that specializes in ergonomics, which allows to combine their ergonomic know-how with the OKW expertise in high quality injection molding.

For example, the new BLOB enclosures feature natural grip positions with a curved, organic design, making them easy to hold, without the need for a tight grip. Uses include bed moving and patient calls; these are used in physiotherapy, the wellness industry, and more.

Another example is the CARRYTEC case, unique, portable housings used by health professionals caring for patients. They easily clip on to walls, beds, and bed rails. This product features an integrated handle for better balance—an important aspect when carrying expensive equipment. It is a carefully designed product that takes into account ergonomics, quality, and use, which aids the overall function of what's inside.

Finally, the most popular product in the medical field, is the SMART-CASE, a small, ergonomically-contoured enclosure that features many accessories for ease of use, including belt clips, pocket clips, wall clips, and an integrated cable.
