A hospital grade power cord has a larger plug and more solid plug pins compared to a standard power cord. This makes the cords more durable and presents less of a shock risk. They meet the standards set by NEMA as well as UL 544 and UL 817. UL 544 refers to medical devices while UL 817 refers to power cords. They are designed to be safer to handle for the operator and around patients.
