Keeping a handle on everything!

Hygeno’s vast array of handles are perfectly suited for any working environment, from cleanroom to mental health, to operating theatres and research laboratories.

Made from solid 316 grade stainless steel or an antimicrobial copper alloy - giving permanent high performance in the harshest of environments - all of our handles are precision made by a CNC machine, resulting in beautifully robust handles every time. Depending on the type of panel and the level of protection it offers, all our handles are designed to be suitable for either single or double-sided operation.

Every INTAVISTA or LASERBLOC unit (with an internal blind) is supplied with our versatile single peg handle. These same handles can also be supplied with double-peg’s, along with anti-ligature handles for the mental health market, or low profiled handles for when space is limited - often found in sliding doors.

When working in laser controlled environments, it is often necessary to have a handle on both sides of the panel to be able to control the risk. For this instance, a lockable handle can be attached to the laser-side of the panel, preventing it from opening during surgery and putting anybodies lives at risk. Alternatively, a microswitch can be added to the inside of the panel and linked up to the rooms control board, which in turn can stop the laser from working if the blind is in its open position, or send out a warning signal in the way of lights and sounds, to warn the staff to close the blind before starting.

There is also the option to etch your company logo or description onto the face of the handles, which allows for that personal touch and attention to detail that people often look for within a specific job or when a certain type of protection is offered.


St. George's Hospital now stands shielded from fire and all medical lasers!

Following its recent refurbishment, London's St. George's Hospital is now equipped with a mixture of fire rated INTAVISTA and LASERBLOC privacy vision panels, offering both fire and universal laser protection.

Laserbloc's unique ability of being able to shield against all medical lasers within one privacy vision panel, proved to be a big hit with St. George's recent refurbishment. With the upgrading of existing facilities to provide more laser surgery, the client required laser-proof privacy vision panels to be installed in to the doors, along with a degree of fire rating too. 

Due to Hygeno's off-the-shelf panel construction, we were able to easily achieve both of these requirements, providing a long-term, worry-free solution to both the issues. Along with adding a clean and modern feel to the new site.  


Extensive testing further guarantees LASERBLOC's performance!

Having undergone another successful testing regime, once again supports the laser shield's capabilities and showcases a 'one solution for all' across the medical sectors.

We have been producing hygienic window solutions for the medical environments for years. Coupling well designed infection control, along with encompassing universal laser protection. We are now able to proudly offer an 'off the shelf' glazed system, housed within a fully sealed unit. Which continues to provide peace of mind between maintaining the highest level of hygiene and safety within the workplace. Having continued to prove so again by passing further laser testing with flying colours.

Uniquely tested against an extensive variety of laser power, Hygeno's patented laser shielding renders the vision panels , making them resistant to all types of wavelengths, which in turn has now deemed the Laser Blind compatible for every type of medical laser.

The firing and testing of lasers on a sealed glass unit is a completely new breakthrough to the medical field, and is something that is rare and highly sought after as it is able to withstand the high standards of hygiene that are needed within a cleanroom environment. Particularly for Architects and LPA's (Laser Protection Advisors) who we can now confidently offer one product to with our LASERBLOC range - encompassing all the benefits and privacy control of INTAVISTA’s - that is also able to work alongside any equipment fitted in to a medical environment - including all laser and x-ray equipment.

We're also able to offer the unique combination of flexibility of specification by working within a modular system. Allowing the additional scope of x-ray shielding capabilities through to light filters to be applied to each glazed system, resulting in a cost effective laser blind for operating theatres, laser clinics and laboratories.

LASERBLOC privacy vision panels provide a "one solution for all!"

LASERBLOC panels are used for the replacement and upgrading of Bedford Hospitals existing privacy vision panels, offering for the first time ever, a solution to laser protection that works with all types of medical laser! 

With the upgrading of existing facilities to provide laser surgery, the client required laser-proof privacy vision panels to be installed in to the doors. However, the type or wavelength of laser device could not be predicted, and it was even a possibility for multiple laser devices to be used within the single LCA. (Laser Controlled Area)

With Hygeno’s patented, in-built universal laser shielding system available within all LASERBLOC panels, capable of being able to shield against all types and wavelengths of laser radiation emitted from medical devices, LASERBLOC vision panels were therefore used to provide a long-term, worry-free solution to both the Laser Protection Officer and Infection Control Authority.
