Why 304 and 316L stainless steel is the reference for medical furniture and instruments.
Stainless steel is ubiquitous in healthcare for its corrosion resistance and ease of disinfection. Grades 304 and 316L are the most used.
304 vs 316L
316L, with added molybdenum, offers better resistance to chlorinated agents and aggressive disinfectants, ideal for the most exposed areas.
Why it matters
- Smooth non-porous surfaces
- Repeated disinfection without degradation
- Longevity and mechanical stability
- Sterilisation compatibility
