What are the advantages of a medical equipment membrane switch for your product?
Membrane switches provide a host of benefits to the medical industry, and can be customized to fit a number of needs. These include:
- An extremely long lifespan.
- A significant reduction in tooling costs and assembly time.
- The integral multi-layered design seals your device from contaminants such as moisture and dirt.
- Due to the flat nature of the design, membrane switches allow for quick and easy cleaning and sanitization.
