The Apple iPad is becoming more and more common everywhere within the hospital, but there have been concerns about hygiene as it cannot be thoroughly cleaned easily. Seal Shield has announced a Bluetooth wireless keyboard and case for the iPad specifically designed for healthcare. As far as we know this is the first manufacturer to release any such case or keyboard. It features medical grade silicone, resistant to liquids including regular fluids such as water and coffee, but also blood and bleach. The material also contains a silver based antimicrobial additive that resists mold, mildew, fungi and microbial bacteria growth on its surface. It can repeatedly be cleaned with disinfectants. Technically, the keyboard has Bluetooth V2.0 and an integrated, rechargeable, lithium battery with 100 day standby time. The suggested retail price is $89.99 and it can already be preordered from the Seal Shield website.
