The GEZE range of products specially for doors, windows and safety technologies in hospitals and care institutions is extensive, as the requirements placed on doors and windows in foyers, hallways and main thoroughfares, in care and intensive care wards right up to operating theatres and laboratories are numerous: comfort, versatility, safety, economy, and a design that contributes to creating a pleasant atmosphere all stand at the forefront. GEZE offers individual, customised solutions, tailored to suit the specific function; be it as part of a new building or a refurbishment. All specific criteria in healthcare are taken into account: barrier-free access, hygiene standards, preventative fire protection, the conflicting safety functions of a door in emergency exit routes, and the applicable laws and directives.
Open sesame! - Barrier-free access at the touch of a button
Doors in foyers or internal facades, e.g. as regularly frequented entrances to gardens or care stations, are made barrier-free with swing door drives, e.g. the quiet Slimdrive EMD. They open, prompted by a movement sensor, button or mobile radio-controlled operation. Making fresh air supplies barrier-free is also not a problem: skylight wings to provide cross ventilation above hallways can be fitted with electronic operation. When connected to the central building control system, mechanical ventilation can be achieved, for example when a specific concentration of carbon dioxide is reached.

Patients’ rooms are always fitted with free-moving doors - ideally without door closers, wherever the fire protection concept allows. In order to achieve a secure closing of the doors, for example in cases where they must always be kept shut, or where they are to be closed during a fire, "Freeswing" door closers, e.g. the TS 5000 EFS, are the best solution. This function means that, once the door has been opened initially, e.g. in the morning, it is possible to pass through the door without any resistance in either the opening or closing direction of the door.

The swing door drive ECturn allows the doors to wards and rooms accommodating the elderly to be easily automated. For maximum user convenience, "ECturn doors" can also be operated wirelessly via mobile radio-operated remote controls. This reduces the work of care workers. They are becoming more standard in everyday barrier-free life.
Door comfort and safety in sanitary areas
Toilets and sanitary areas require barrier-free, secure doors, which prevent access from outside when the toilet or bath is in use, particularly in the case of people with limited mobility. TSA 160-NT swing door drives with toilet control allow this. They are operated by a large button. One push of the button activates the "Occupied" light and the door is closed. The door can be opened from outside in the case of an emergency. Manual Perlan 140 sliding door systems are recommended in most small bathrooms. The door leaves slowly come together and prevent body parts or objects becoming trapped. The automated Perlan AUT-NT solution is used in comfort rooms.

It is common practice for two patients’ rooms to be joined by a bathroom, and in many cases the doors are controlled by Perlan AUT-NT drives. If the bathroom is entered from one side, then the door on the other side locks and an illuminated display is activated.
Hygiene and controlled access to the most sensitive areas

Operating theatres, intensive care wards and laboratories are amongst the most sensitive areas in a hospital. Hygiene and adherence to the applicable regulations are of the utmost importance. The Powerdrive HT sliding door system is an impenetrably sealed automatic solution for operating theatre doors that need to open quickly. The Powerdrive operating theatre sliding door system is also used in intensive care wards and offers high levels of user convenience. It makes sense to connect it with an access control system so that the door can only be used by authorised persons. In the intensive care unit itself, the use of sliding or swing door leaves from integrated glass elements is not just for purely aesthetic reasons - they mean that the entire glass surface can be cleaned without issue.
