Transforming iPad safety in healthcare: A case in point

The FlipPad, an antimicrobial case that allows the iPad to be cleaned by the harshest chemicals and the first case to feature a Corning Antimicrobial glass screen sensitive enough to be used with surgical gloves.

The FlipPad – a Clinician designed and constructed iPad case which combines the protection of an antimicrobial screen with a robust and adaptable design, is ensuring tablet technology can function safely.

• The FlipPad works with the Apple iPad Air 2 and the new iPad Pro 9.7”.
• The FlipPad works with surgical gloves.
• The FliPad has a scratch-proof glass screen.
• The FlipPad works with the Apple Pen.
• The FlipPad can be cleaned with 3000 ppm Bleach.

The FlipPad, created by med tech firm FutureNova, includes an impressive array of features designed by medical professionals for medical professionals. Infection control is at the top of any clinician’s list. With antimicrobial protection embedded within its ultra-thin sensitive glass shield and construction from FDA approved materials that can withstand chemical degradation of standard infection control sprays, the wipe-clean FlipPad passes the most repetitive deep clean.

But the industry demands usability as well as safety and with a drop and water resistant design and a toughened glass lens, the FlipPad delivers. As Futurenova’s CEO, Mike Casey, explains: “We wanted the FlipPad provide the freedom to use an iPad in any clinical environment and we are grateful for the enthusiastic support from Apple.”

“We exhaustively tested and refined the FlipPad to balance being tough enough to withstand the daily rigours of hospital life, with the high sensitivity needed to work with the thickest surgical gloves.” – Peter Codling, FutureNova Design Director

From the theatre to the patient’s bed, FlipPad is designed to adapt to the specific needs of the medical professional. Clamping onto any hand and most bed rails or folding flat for typing, FlipPad is at home anywhere in the hospital. And because threats in the ward are not just microbial, FlipPad features a Marine grade 316 Stainless Steel anti-theft device that fits all Kensington locks. Explaining why they invested in the unique combination of safety and strength of the FlipPad, Lisa Butland, Director of Innovation NWC AHSN said: “This is the kind of innovation that we are spreading through our region and beyond, through our partner AHSNs around the country.”

Healthcare needs technology that it can use safely and effectively – FlipPad provides the industry with a robust product that delivers both without compromise.
