Healthcare facilities such as hospitals, clinics and pharmacies require the most stringent hygiene and performance guidelines to ensure optimal function and safety. For this reason, stainless steel products are often used due to their reliability and durability.
Stainless steel is a hygienic material as it is extremely easy to clean and sanitise. The smooth, non-porous surface means that dirt and bacteria struggle to establish themselves on its exterior.6 When this does occur, it can very easily be wiped away. The ease of this cleaning and maintenance makes stainless steel a great choice in environments where maximum hygiene requirements are necessary. This is why professional kitchens are almost entirely made of stainless steel, and why laboratories and hospitals rely heavily on its use.
