Enclosures for medical, laboratory and wellness devices: design that puts people first

When developing devices for medical, laboratory and wellness applications, every detail matters. An enclosure does more than house electronic components: it also determines how the device is held, how users interact with its controls and how the product is presented. That is why selecting the right enclosure should be part of the development process from the earliest stages.

With more than 2,000 enclosures and accessories in our catalogue, Supertronic helps manufacturers and developers find solutions tailored to their technology. We combine a wide variety of plastic enclosure designs with customisation services to meet the requirements of different applications, from portable devices to instrumentation equipment and connected systems. Our approach brings together ergonomics, functionality and a professional finish. Explore our enclosures for medical, laboratory and wellness applications.

Handheld enclosures: Comfort for everyday devices
Nurse call systems, assistance controllers and other portable devices require enclosures that are comfortable to hold and easy to operate.

Our handheld enclosures feature ergonomic designs and come in various sizes to accommodate electronic components and different usage requirements. Depending on the model, they include recessed surfaces that facilitate the integration of graphic overlays and membrane keypads, allowing controls to be clearly arranged and easily accessed. Explore our range of handheld enclosures.

IoT enclosures: Housing connected technology
Our range of Internet of Things (IoT) enclosures offers compact designs and various mounting options for housing sensors, communication modules and other components used in connected devices.

One potential application in healthcare environments is equipment tracking: small devices installed on medical carts, hospital beds or mobile units can help identify the location of essential resources. For these applications, the enclosure must integrate discreetly into the equipment and provide a secure mounting solution suited to its intended use. Explore our range of IoT enclosures.

Sensor enclosures: Discreet and functional integration
For occupancy detection and environmental monitoring applications, our sensor enclosures offer a variety of designs, sizes and configurations, including both ventilated and non-ventilated models. The installation environment and the sensor's specific requirements are essential factors when selecting the most suitable solution.

In healthcare facilities, laboratories and wellness centres, one possible application is integrating occupancy sensors into lighting control systems. Where appropriate, lighting can be adjusted according to the presence of people in specific areas, helping to reduce unnecessary energy consumption. Explore our range of sensor enclosures.

Remote control enclosures: Solutions for healthcare assistance and wellness
Our remote control enclosures provide a versatile platform for developing controllers, push-button devices and assistance systems with compact, customised designs. Button placement, function labelling and enclosure configuration can all be adapted to meet the specific requirements of each project.

For telecare applications or wearable devices, it is also important to consider the attachment system, weight and user comfort. In a fall detection device, for example, the enclosure must accommodate the electronics responsible for detecting the incident and transmitting an alert, as well as the accessory used to wear the device. Explore our range of remote control enclosures.

Desktop and instrumentation enclosures: Space for equipment and connections
Laboratory equipment and desktop devices often require sufficient space to integrate electronic circuits, displays, connectors and control elements.

Our desktop and instrumentation enclosures are available in different sizes and configurations to accommodate these components while giving the equipment a professional finish. Depending on the model, removable panels and dedicated interface surfaces make enclosure customisation and electronic assembly easier. Explore our range of desktop and instrumentation enclosures.

Lectern or desk boxes: Controls Within easy reach
When frequent interaction with a device is required, the layout of its user interface deserves special attention. Our sloping front and console enclosures feature angled surfaces that improve the visibility and accessibility of displays, keypads and push buttons.

These designs are particularly suitable for control panels, instrumentation equipment and wellness devices that require an accessible interface combined with a practical desktop configuration. Customisation allows openings and control layouts to be adapted to the product's specific design. Explore our range of lectern or desk boxes.

Protection Suited to Operating Conditions
In addition to the enclosure's design, it is important to determine the level of protection required for each device. The IP rating indicates the degree of protection against the ingress of solid objects and water, while the IK rating describes resistance to external mechanical impacts. These are different characteristics that must be verified for the selected enclosure model and configuration.

We therefore recommend assessing the actual installation and operating conditions before selecting an enclosure and verifying the required performance of the final assembled device. Choosing the right enclosure is an important part of product development, but it does not replace the validation of the complete device. Explore our range of IP protection boxes.

Customisation: Enclosures Ready for Electronic Assembly
At Supertronic, we go beyond supplying standard enclosures. Our CNC machining services allow us to create precise openings for displays, connectors, push buttons and other components. UV digital printing enables us to add logos, text, symbols and operating instructions, while graphic overlays and membrane keypads help complete the product's user interface.

For projects with specific technical requirements, we also offer radio frequency interference (RFI) shielding solutions, tailored to the needs of the electronic assembly.

Our goal is to deliver an enclosure adapted to your design, incorporating the agreed modifications and graphics, ready for electronic assembly. This allows you to focus on developing your device and delivering value to its users. Explore our customisation services.
