Medical furniture, as the most important component of medical environment configuration, is an important production tool that reflects the professionalism and work efficiency of the medical industry. It is also an instrument product that meets the medical conditions of patients, which has attracted increasing attention from medical institution builders, managers, and users.

As the main contact carrier for medical staff, patients, and their families in diagnosis, treatment, and work, the design of medical furniture is crucial as it also carries some expectations of people during diagnosis and treatment. Due to the design of medical furniture involving multiple parameters such as ergonomics, color aesthetics, material properties, and functional requirements, the following factors should be mainly considered when selecting medical furniture:

1. Cost factors

Cost is often the primary factor in purchasing. Low cost is usually more attractive in a short period of time, but in addition to cost factors, durability should also be considered. Products with strong durability will have lower replacement costs in the future.

2. Hospital infection factors

Medical furniture should also have the characteristics of laboratory furniture, such as acid and alkali resistance, corrosion resistance, moisture resistance, etc., and acid and alkali resistance are the most basic requirements for medical furniture. For example, medical treatment cabinets, medical disposal cabinets, etc. require moisture resistance, cross infection prevention, and strong wear resistance. The handles of medical cabinets must be rust proof, and drugs, specialty drugs, and some injections must be placed with certain temperature and humidity requirements. At the same time, the design of medical furniture products must be easy to clean and facilitate effective prevention and control of nosocomial infections.

3. Safety factors

Based on the doctor-patient group, the medical furniture selected by hospitals should be safer, more humane, and pay attention to the structural stability, solidity, and absence of sharp angle hazards of their products.

4. Environmental factors

Green and environmentally friendly materials are necessary factors in selecting furniture, as medical furniture is more stringent due to the special nature of hospital environments.
