We can also develop precision-fit covers for keyboards and other control interfaces that are not currently in our range.
Why use a keyboard cover?
Computer keyboards can be difficult to clean effectively. Dust, food debris, liquids and other contaminants can enter the gaps around the keys, while frequently touched surfaces can become contaminated during everyday use. A SteriType keyboard cover creates a continuous protective barrier across the keyboard.
A practical solution for the keyboard-cover requirement in HTM 01-05
SteriType keyboard covers provide a practical way for dental practices to meet the keyboard hygiene requirements of HTM 01-05.
HTM 01-05 states that, for infection control in clinical areas, computer keyboards should either be fitted with covers or replaced with easy-clean waterproof keyboards. SteriType precision-fit covers allow existing keyboards to remain in use while providing a smooth, wipe-clean protective surface.
Because each cover is moulded to the individual keyboard, it remains fitted during normal use and can be cleaned regularly as part of the practice’s infection-control procedures.
Ideal for dental surgeries, reception workstations and other clinical areas.
Protect against spills and dirt
The cover prevents liquids, dust and debris from entering the spaces between the keys, helping to protect the keyboard underneath.
Easier cleaning and disinfection
Instead of cleaning around individual keys and crevices, the fitted cover provides a substantially smoother surface that can be wiped clean while remaining on the keyboard.
Reduce contamination
SteriType covers help prevent contaminants becoming trapped beneath and between keys, making them particularly useful where keyboards are used by multiple people or in hygiene-sensitive environments.
Extend keyboard life
Protection from liquids, dust and everyday contamination can help reduce damage and prolong the service life of the keyboard beneath.
Antimicrobial Keyboard Covers
SteriType keyboard covers incorporate antimicrobial technology directly into the material.
Because the antimicrobial protection is built into the polyurethane rather than applied as a surface coating, it remains an integral part of the cover throughout its service life.
Antimicrobial protection is designed to complement good cleaning and hygiene practices rather than replace them.
Precision fit is essential for computer keyboard covers
Unlike loose-fitting universal keyboard protectors, SteriType covers are precision moulded to the shape of individual keyboards.
The thin, flexible polyurethane membrane follows the contours of the keys, allowing the keyboard to be used normally while protecting the spaces between and beneath the keys from dirt, liquids and other contaminants.
Designed for regular cleaning
SteriType keyboard covers are designed for environments where frequent cleaning is required.
The polyurethane material offers good resistance to commonly used cleaning and disinfecting agents, allowing the cover to be wiped down without removing it from the keyboard.
This makes SteriType covers suitable for applications including:
- Healthcare and clinical environments
- Laboratories
- Food manufacturing and processing
- Education
- Industrial workplaces
- Shared offices and workstations
- Retail and point-of-sale systems
Keyboard Covers for healthcare and hygiene-sensitive environments
Conventional keyboards contain numerous joints, gaps and recesses that can make thorough cleaning difficult.
SteriType covers transform the exposed keyboard surface into a much simpler, wipe-clean interface while allowing the existing keyboard to remain in use.
This can provide a practical alternative to replacing standard computer keyboards with specialist washable keyboards, particularly where organisations already have large numbers of installed PCs and workstations.
Keyboard Covers, Keyboard Skins and Keyboard Protectors
The terms keyboard cover, keyboard skin and keyboard protector are often used interchangeably.
SteriType products are flexible protective membranes designed specifically for computer keyboards. Unlike fabric dust covers, which are removed before the keyboard is used, SteriType covers remain fitted while typing.
Each cover is shaped specifically for the keyboard it is designed to protect.
Made in the UK
SteriType keyboard covers are manufactured in the UK using a precision moulding process developed specifically for producing thin, flexible protective covers.
Our range includes covers for many widely used commercial and industrial keyboards, with new models continually added in response to customer requirements.
Frequently asked questions about keyboard covers
Fitting is very straightforward. We have an instruction video here.
The terms keyboard cover, keyboard glove and keyboard skin are generally used interchangeably. Of course, not all keyboard skins, gloves or covers are equal. SteriType keyboard covers are made from a resilient, latex free polyurethane material that will outlast any of the cheaper alternatives.
The covers can indeed be removed. They are really designed to be fitted to a keyboard and left in place, but they can certainly be removed, for example if you need to fit them to a different keyboard.
Yes. SteriType covers are thin and flexible and are designed to remain fitted while the keyboard is in use. Because each cover is moulded to the individual keyboard design, the contours of the keys remain clearly defined.
The cover provides a continuous barrier over the keyboard surface and helps prevent accidental spills and other liquids from entering the gaps around the keys. The level of overall protection will also depend on the keyboard and how the cover is installed.
Yes. SteriType covers are designed to provide an easy-to-clean surface and can be wiped while still fitted to the keyboard. Always ensure that the cleaning product used is compatible with the cover and surrounding equipment.
Yes. Antimicrobial technology is incorporated into the material used to manufacture SteriType antimicrobial keyboard covers. This complements regular cleaning and disinfection procedures.
No. For the best typing feel and protection, SteriType covers are moulded to fit specific keyboard models rather than relying on a loose universal fit.
Look for the manufacturer’s name and model or part number, normally shown on a label on the underside of the keyboard. You can then search the SteriType catalogue for that model.
Contact us with the manufacturer and model number. We may already have a suitable cover that has not yet been listed, or we can discuss producing a new precision-fit cover.
All SteriType antimicrobial products contain silver phosphate glass, a biocidal product which controls the growth of micro-organisms on the product surface. This product does not contain nano-materials. This technology is not a substitute for good hygiene and/or cleaning practices. Use biocides safely.
