Bacteria-proof
Plastic, even food, is porous. This porosity, accentuated by scratches can cause bacteria nests in computerized medical arms during these constant manipulations. A biofilm can be put in place in a few hours, and allow the bacteria there to become resistant to external agents.
This is why our Computer Medical Arms, contrary to what we find on the market have a complete structure in anodized aluminum. Less than 5% of plastic in their designs dedicated specifically to the medical and hospital sector.
Aluminum, its characteristics, its properties, its utility:
Main characteristics
Density: 2700 kg / m3
Density: 2.7 (three times less than steel)
The use of aluminum is therefore essential in the areas of the construction of our computer arms.
Corrosion resistance:
Aluminum alloys are highly oxidizable. In the air, a layer of a few micrometers of aluminum oxide (Al2O3) is formed. Thanks to this thin film, aluminum alloys become resistant to corrosion. Unlike most metals, aluminum needs to oxidize to be used. Without this film of oxide, it would be unsuitable for most of its applications.
Thus, under normal atmospheric conditions, exterior building claddings or aluminum alloy parts have minimal maintenance and extended service life.
Anodizing:
Forced oxidation with an electrolyte makes it possible to obtain coloring of the parts. This anodizing can also be colorless to keep the shine of the pieces (aluminum color). The protective oxide layer can be made thicker by anodization.
Recycling:
To recycle aluminum, there is nothing simpler: just melt it. In addition to environmental benefits, aluminum recycling is much less expensive than extraction from bauxite ore. It requires 95% less energy. And a ton of recycled aluminum saves four tons of bauxite. By skipping the electrolysis stage, which requires a lot of energy, we avoid the pollutant emissions associated with it. Aluminum is almost infinitely recyclable without losing its qualities. In France, aluminum is recovered as part of selective sorting. In sorting centers, it is sorted thanks to eddy currents. It is then broken and crushed and melted. The downside, aluminum remains on the market an expensive material.

Antibacterial Micoban:
The medical computer arms are now designed with Microban antibacterial protection, a revolutionary treatment that guarantees optimal hygiene. Medical computer arms integrate Microban and other anti-bacterial agents into all medical products. It inhibits the growth of bacteria of all types. It is not a superficial treatment. It is 100% in the entire product. It does not entail any alteration of the physico-mechanical properties of the lift system of the medical arms. 30-year simulations show that 100% of anti-bacterial properties are maintained. All medical articulated arms incorporate Microban. Microban is a world leader in anti-bacterial solutions. It has been successfully applied for more than 35 years in multiple products used in the hospital, construction and food sectors.
