Medical furniture is made of a variety of materials to meet different medical needs and environmental requirements. Here are some common medical furniture materials:

1. Metal materials: such as stainless steel, aluminum alloy, etc. These metal materials have good strength and corrosion resistance, and are often used to make the frames and components of medical equipment and worktables, such as the bed frames of hospital beds and the supports of operating tables.
2. Wood: including solid wood and artificial board. Wood has a natural beauty and comfort, often used to make hospital beds, chairs and cabinets and other furniture. However, it should be noted that wood is prone to moisture, mold and bacteria in the medical environment, so it is necessary to choose wood that has been specially treated and has moisture-proof and bacteria-proof functions.
3. Stone: including natural stone and artificial stone. Stone with hard, wear-resistant, easy to clean and other characteristics, often used in the production of medical furniture countertops, such as operating tables, treatment tables and so on.
4. Plastic: such as polyethylene, polypropylene, etc. Plastic materials are light, easy to clean, corrosion resistance and other characteristics, often used to make hospital armrests, stools, tables and other items. In addition, some special medical plastics also have antibacterial, anti-virus and other functions.
5. Composite materials: composed of two or more materials, with comprehensive advantages. For example, carbon fiber composites are often used to make lightweight and robust medical devices such as operating beds and wheelchairs.

When selecting medical furniture materials, in addition to considering its performance and function, it is also necessary to consider the environmental protection, safety and compliance with the standards and specifications of the medical industry. At the same time, due to the particularity of the medical environment, it is also necessary to pay attention to the factors such as the easy cleaning, anti-infectivity and service life of the material.
