Airtight doors

Airtight doors help to reduce the number of SSIs

The Metaflex airtight doors help hospitals to reduce the number of postoperative surgical site infections (SSIs) that arise in the OR. SSIs are one of the most frequently occurring complications for patients that have undergone surgery in hospitals. SSIs can lead to a longer recovery period, invalidity or even death. SSIs can be reduced by disrupting the airflow in an OR as little as possible.

In order to keep an OR as airtight as possible, we ensure that our doors:

• seal hermetically completely, so that there is no leakage loss when the door is closed;
• open and close as quickly as possible by means of strong powering;
• reduce unnecessary opening via a signalling system;
• no critical doors can be open simultaneously by incorporating an airlock function.

Features of airtight doors

• The only door in the world with the airtight certificate ANSI/UL1784;
• The highest airtight classification 4, according DIN EN 12207;
• Standard noise-reduction up to 28 decibels;
• Available as an automatic or manual version;
• Available in a sliding and hinged version.

Optimal thermal insulation due to airtight doors

Hermetic doors are also ideal for refrigerator and freezer rooms. Because the doors are airtight, they have no measurable leakage and the room remains at the right temperature with minimal energy use. The smooth and seamless doors can easily be cleaned. Partly for this reason, the hermetic doors are very suitable for rooms with high hygiene requirements. Furthermore, the completely airtight seal ensures that the cleaning water does not run into other rooms.
