FAQs: Medical Covers for Healthcare Applications
Medical covers are protective panels and shields providing hygienic barriers, user safety, and equipment protection in clinical environments. Covers consist of equipment access panels for diagnostic devices and patient monitors, protective shields for surgical lights and imaging equipment, instrument tray covers maintaining sterility, keypad covers for touchscreen protection, IV pump door covers, defibrillator electrode covers, specimen container covers, endoscope channel covers, disposable equipment drapes, autoclavable protective covers for reusable devices, and specialty covers including radiation shields, splash guards, and contamination barriers.
The use of stainless steel 304 and 316L is justified by the provision of smooth electropolished surfaces of Ra below 0.4 microns, which facilitates the validation of cleaning; the corrosion resistance for hospital disinfectants including bleach and quaternary ammonium compounds, the durability for thousands of cleaning cycles, and stainless steel’s premium appearance for patient-facing equipment. Medical-grade aluminum 6061-T6 is lightweight, strong, and highly machinable for the needed ventilation patterns, which is also crucial because of the corrosion resistance offered by anodized finishes. Polycarbonate delivers high impact resistance exceeding 900 joules per meter which withstands high impacts, is transparent for display visibility, autoclaveable to 121°C, and flame resistance meeting UL94 standards. The ease of cost-effective manufacturing for cartridge disposable covers is an advantage of ABS. The rest of the indicated plastics for medical covers provide the needed proper balance as well.
Accuracy of CNC milling within the tolerances of ±0.010 inch enables the creation of the shapes of panels and the positions of the mounting holes and ventilation patterns. Laser cutting enables the production of complex shapes for the perimeter and the shapes of covers and ventilation grilles with edge finishes that require minimal secondary finishing. Edge routing and deburring are done to smooth and provide safe edges that prevent snagging and harming the operator. Covers that are in three dimensions are made by bending and forming the flat sheets. Tapping of mounting holes is done for the purpose of secure attachment. Engraving and laser marking is done for the purpose of adding identifiers such as labels, warnings, and regulatory markings, which are essential in every medical cover. Electropolishing stainless steel for the medical covers provide the required hygienic surfaces with Ra of less than 0.4 microns.
The overall tolerances of the span of covers are ±0.010 inches for the panels dimensions which are needed to fit with the equipment housings, the mounting holes to the panels are ±0.005 for secure attachment, 0.015 inch for the edges straightness to of the cover for aesthetic value, ±0.005 inch to the display window to add visibility of the screen, uniformity of thickness of ±0.005 for the cover consistent appearance, contoured ±0.020 inch to the surface which is the accuracy matched the equipment geometry.
Yes, we provide rapid prototyping to verify fit and test assembly, with same-day CAD-to-part capability available for critical projects. For custom automation cells and research platforms, we perform low-volume production of 20 to 500 brackets. For standardized robot models, we perform high-volume production of thousands to tens of thousands of brackets annually, incorporating complete dimensional inspection, flatness verification, and material certifications.
All components of the medical device covers and disinfection covers are produced and manufactured under an ISO 13485 certified quality management system for medical devices. This includes full and traceable compliance with USA FDA clearance and compliance with European Medical Device Regulation (MDR) requirements where applicable, ISO 10993 medical device biocompatibility, including chemical disinfectant resistance validation controlled spillage disinfectants, infection control and GMP traceable modular construction, chemical disinfectant resistance validated, hospital biocompatibility certified modular constructed and chemical disinfectant resistant modular construction for complete trace, biocompatible padding surfaces, and chemical disinfectant resistant modular constructed and hospital biocompatible modular construction for control spillage disinfection.
We provide comprehensive finishing solutions tailored to aerospace requirements:
Anodizing (Type II and Type III)
Passivation for corrosion resistance
Precision polishing for aerodynamic surfaces
Custom protective coatings and thermal barriers

Standard equipment access panels and protective covers require 8–12 business days that include cutting, forming, and surface finishing, while complex multi-piece assemblies that include integrated features need 3–4 weeks. Prototype covers for equipment design validation can be completed in 5–8 days, enabling rapid development timelines.
Absolutely. We craft tailored polycarbonate shields that, while safeguarding touch-sensitive screens from contamination, allow for content display. We design autoclavable steam sterilization compliant covers for 134°C for 1,000+ cycles, antimicrobial shields for high touch surfaces in ICUs, lead or tungsten radiation-shielding covers for X-ray equipment, maintenance quick-release covers, single-use infection control disposable covers, and integrated covers that interface protective functions and user controls, ventilated grilles, protected cable routing and accessory mounting.
The machining performance of the panels is the first indicator of professionalism. Contamination of panels is first avoided through accurately machined dimensions (±0.010 inches) fitting the panel to the covers of the equipment. Gaps are avoided since the panels fit. Mounting holes positioned with precision (±0.005 inches) are pivotal in securing the panels to the equipment to avoid cover displacement when in clinical use. Electropolishing the covers to achieve surfaces with an Ra below 0.4 and ensuring thorough cleaning of the covers to the standard of 99.9 percent biofilm removal, biofilm becoming the main vessel for the hospital pathogens to evade removal enables the surgical cover to prevent infection. Control of infection in the clinical area is important as changes of surgical covers and equipment during procedures are done in a control of area. Ventilation is done to prevent the equipment overheating while at the same time ensuring there is no contamination by stagnant particulates. The absence of particulates is ensured by moving air and the control of moisture and temperature. The waste edges of the covers are deburred to prevent snagging of the covers during procedures and to prevent injury to the handlers. The use of bleached, maintained soiled dried with disinfectant 5000 ppm concentration, alcohol 70 percent, and H2O2, are signs of attachment to the covers ensuring the function of the panels through the lifespan of 5 to 10 years. The covers are designed to protect and control disinfecting compliance for motivation to be used in Operating rooms, patient care, and diagnostic imaging area.
