Blackout vs. White Frost Privacy Panels

INTAVISTA Privacy Panels

Blackout vs White Frost, Flush Fit, 250 x 800mm

A recent theatre refurbishment project at Southampton Hospital showcased excellent use of both Blackout and White Frost finishes, all within the same theatre suite.

In line with HTM guidance, privacy panels fitted between the theatre and surrounding prep rooms were specified as White Frost, to maximise light transmission through the hospital, however privacy panels fitted between the theatre and surrounding corridors were specified as Blackout, to reduce distraction to theatre staff from passing corridor foot traffic.


Locking Handles for Privacy Vision Panels

INTAVISTA

Blackout, Flush fit, Double handled (locking); 250 x 800mm

A number of laser shielding privacy vision panels were supplied with a unique lockable handle mechanism. Once the locking device was engaged, users on the corridor side of the doorsets were prevented from opening the laser blind and the lock could only be disengaged from inside the room.

New product

Circular INTAVISTA & LASERBLOC panel now available!

All the fantastic benefits of privacy and protection that are achieved within the INTAVISTA and LASERBLOC range, are now available in a new circular shape.

Brilliant for adding a calming, softer feel to a ward or working environment, the circular shape would present itself perfectly for a mental health environment or ward where children are more present.

The way that the bands remain the same width as the original INTAVISTA range is unique to its design, meaning that despite the smaller surface area, there is no compromise to the amount of viewing area between bands.

All existing colourways and handle choices for the original INTAVISTA range are still available, within either the Flush or Bead Fit finish of your choice.

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.


Hygeno's LASERBLOC panels provide privacy and peace of mind against all medical lasers for Dumfries and Galloway Hospital!

Dumfries and Galloway have recently installed sixty, Flush fit LASERBLOC privacy panels in to all of their operating theatres and treatment rooms.   

Dumfries and Galloway - as part of a modernising renovation - recently specified sixty; Flush fit, Blackout LASERBLOC vision panels to all of their operating theatres and treatment rooms, providing peace of mind against all medical lasers, and allowing that privacy between staff and patient to be achieved between the stages of surgery and recovery.

For maintaining the highest level of cleanliness, these panels were also built and finished to sit flush to the doors surface, allowing the highest standards of hygiene to be obtained, minimising the spread of disease and infection. They are designed to simply be wiped down or cleaned in the same way as the door's are. 

Also available in a White Frost finish, our LASERBLOC panels are a modern, hygienic take on privacy vision panels, with the additional reassurance of protection against all medical lasers from passing through.

We are really pleased to hear that Dumfries and Galloway are happy with the finish, and it's great to see them looking so good on their wards!
