All medical gas system equipment by Unimex, like all other medical products, should look aesthetically pleasing and, moreover, be safe in a way that does not cause injuries due to collisions for patients, their relatives, and all healthcare personnel.

There should be no sharp corners and edges on the products, and pointed areas should be rounded as much as possible and covered with soft materials such as plastic. This is because in moments of panic during emergencies, healthcare workers often hit their arms and bodies on these devices, sometimes causing serious injuries and, in some cases, slowing down the intervention to the patient.

This safety should be applied as much as possible not only in patient rooms or intensive care but throughout the hospital. Products to be used in areas like corridors should be preferably installed as flush-mounted, and the corners of these products should be softened with plastic to reduce the risk of injuries due to collisions. For system equipment used only by the technical service, the products should be designed for easy service and maintenance processes, and possible problems should be visible to the naked eye.

Another consideration in the designs of the products is to resemble products familiar to people in everyday life or different figures from nature to prevent patients from feeling too much like patients and to make them feel more at home. This can contribute to patients feeling better, getting rid of the patient psychology more comfortably, and subsequently shortening the recovery periods. For pediatric patients, creating different designs that appeal to them more attractively and cutely can help children become more accustomed to the hospital environment without causing difficulties.

When making color selections for units and rooms, it is important to choose colors that will relax patients as much as possible while providing visual comfort for healthcare personnel. For example, blood red should never be used for the operating room. This is because if they constantly see the color red during surgery, their eyes get tired more quickly, their eye comfort is disrupted, and the likelihood of making mistakes during surgery increases. Therefore, contrasting colors with red, such as blue and green, should be used, and the eye fatigue time should be extended. Additionally, using multiple colors on products is important to minimize eye fatigue and make depth perception more apparent.

If there is a point that cannot be adapted to these features in terms of design, a warning sign or label should be placed in a visible location on the product to alert the approaching person to the danger and draw attention to it.
