ULTRADENT Dental-Medical Devices GmbH & Co. KG
Touch Panel Solutions for Innovative Dental Treatment Units

Showing teeth like never before. ULTRADENT revolutionized the treatment result with Touch Panel from Christ.

"The exemplary project progress during the integration of the Touch Panel into the overall system provided us with time reserves that we urgently still needed at Vision U for the implementation of the IT standards in cooperation with the VDDS to realize the best possible integration into the billing and administration software with all its master data for dentists."

Mr. Reichardt IT Project Manager Vision U at ULTRADENT.

Touch panels facilitate the treatment process and ensure transparency, traceability and quality.

For its own Vision U software system, the dental manufacturer needed a touch panel that underscores the software's performance. The optimally configured touch panel from Christ enables intuitive and reliable operation for the dentist, even when wearing gloves.

Medical monitors and touch panel PCs

The use of intuitive touch panels has become an integral part of the operating options for medical devices and laboratory equipment. The use of multi-touch and gesture control is making operation ever easier.

Various applications of touch screens in medicine

There are countless areas of application in a wide variety of medical technology fields. Examples would include ventilators, patient monitoring systems or sequencing equipment in laboratories, and the list could be extended indefinitely

High individuality of touch panels and medical monitors

Frequently, customers' requirements are very specific and standard devices can only be used to a certain extent. We then work together with the customer to develop exactly the panel that meets all requirements and fits perfectly with the device in question. Here we take into account interface adaptations, the use of particularly resistant displays or the construction of individual housing variants.

High requirements for touchscreens in medicine

Especially in medicine, devices must meet high requirements for hygiene and environmental conditions. To prevent bacterial growth, medical devices must be easy to clean. The areas of application are also diverse; the screens must be easy to read even in bright light and be able to withstand vibrations without loss of function in mobile use. In addition, the medical devices must not pose a danger to the operator or patient and must meet high safety requirements.

Panels of various sizes are most often used to operate the devices and display diagnostic results. Often, the medical technology instruments already have their own housings, so that the panels only need to be installed in the housing. Touch panel variants that can be inserted into the recess from the front or the back are particularly suitable for this purpose. Christ offers two case variants here. One as a front panel or as an open frame variant. The advantage of the open frame variant is a flat installation without a dirty edge.

Medical monitors for high quality requirements

Considering the current situation with Corona, reliable respiratory monitors have become particularly important. Here, a mirror-free, clear display of the patient's breathing situation and the easiest possible operation via a touch panel are key aspects. The panels must function smoothly, even after disinfectant has been used for cleaning. 

Not only high-quality diagnostic monitors are among the indispensable medical devices, but also panel pcs, and touch panels are becoming increasingly important. On the one hand, they serve to operate the devices; on the other hand, they are display media for diagnostic results.

Application examples of touch panels

In most areas of application, there are already ready-made housings for the medical devices. The touch panels used must be able to be integrated accordingly in openings provided for this purpose, preferably without gaps or dirt edges. The Front Panel and Open Frame housing variants from Christ are particularly suitable for this. The Front Panels have a narrow aluminum frame, whereas the Open Frame Panels can be embedded completely flat in the opening.

Long-term availability of medical devices

The long-term availability of components is particularly important for the use of touch panels in medical devices. Many devices are on the market for many years. Therefore, it must be ensured that the individual components of the panels are also available over this period. By using industrial components, Christ can ensure this long-term availability.

Operation with gloves

Another important aspect is the operation of the displays with gloves. In medicine and laboratories, the use of gloves is standard. In order to avoid problems during operation, which may have serious consequences, the touch must be adapted accordingly. Here, the tension field is individually adapted to the glove models used. With Christ, you have an experienced partner at your side. This is how we ensure safe operation of your medical and laboratory equipment.

Interfaces of the touch panels

We can also meet numerous requirements with regard to touch panel interfaces individually adapted to the respective application. Together with you, we develop the interface pattern that fits your application. In this way, safety requirements for the device can also be guaranteed, keyword "safety by design". To ensure that all standards and specifications for the medical product are met, a specification sheet is drawn up, which is then used to develop the specification for the panel.
