For years, Active Key is focussing on developing hygiene keyboards and mice for clinical application. The 360° silicone safeguard not only reduces the risk of infection but also the ingress of dust and splash water. Due to pathogens and increasing numbers of multi resistant germs, clinical hygiene measures e.g. surface disinfection gain more steam. At practitioners and hospitals but also in many other areas, infectious diseases can be avoided by effective cleaning processes. Unfortunately the application of hygiene keyboards and mice with excellent disinfection capacities is often falls into oblivion in this context. Therefore, input devices with insufficient suitability for cleaning and disinfection rapidly become hotspots for cross contamination. The commission for infection prevention and hospital hygiene at the Robert Koch-Institut (RKI) recommends to reprocess keyboards and mice as surfaces, as per the hygiene requirements for the cleaning and disinfection. For many years now, Active Key concentrates on the development of hygiene keyboards and mice for the clinical use and the operation in hygiene critical areas. Being completely sanitizable by wiping, the input devices grant safe surface disinfection combined with high writing comfort. All the devices work with a closed contact system with a protective silicon membrane covering the mechanical guided keys precisely in every detail. In addition to keyboards and mice for hygiene sensitive areas, Active Key also offers a large number of high quality input devices for industry, banks, POS and offices.
