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.  


Hygeno's INTAVISTA privacy vision panels lead the way in to the new Bispebjerg Hospital development!

With custom product specification available, Hygeno's INTAVISTA range of privacy vision panels get the 'go ahead' for the new Bispebjerg Hospital in Copenhagen, Denmark.  

The new development required Flush fit privacy vision panels to be installed into 60mm thick sliding doors, with non-track side operation of the internal blind mechanism.

With a door face to frame clearance of just 10mm, the INTAVISTA panels were customised with specialist operating handles which were designed and manufactured from 316 grade stainless steel. Allowing the snag-free passage of the handle between the door and it's frame seal.
