Standard material
Medical furniture materials are mainly divided into metal (stainless steel, electrolytic steel plate, aluminum alloy), composite materials (artificial stone, physical and chemical board, fire prevention board, anti-double plate), engineering plastics (ABS, PU) and wood. Standard materials are selected according to specific functional areas. Artificial stone materials can be selected for the medical guide table and nurse station to increase the overall aesthetic degree. The waiting area is crowded with people and has an open space, so materials that are safe, environment-friendly, wear-resistant and durable and convenient to clean should be selected. “Relatively soft materials such as wood and leather should be preferred in wards and rest areas, so as to appease patients and release the working pressure of medical staff.
