excellent kinematic performance, equipping the door with unbeatable functions. Special leaf carriages for the hermetic door and the special double drop guide ensures smooth and bump-free sliding movement of the leaf. This feature enables easy manual opening of the leaves in the event of a power failure, without the need for incorporating door release handles on leaves (not very aesthetic and difficult to use). A nice looking and very functional door handle is enough to slide the leaves gently. The use of fine materials in the manufacture of automatic hermetic doors, such as stainless steel or high pressure laminate, which are both easy to clean, help to guarantee hygiene. The finishes on the door itself, with smooth or recessed surfaces, should also minimise dust and dirt accumulations at joints, a very important aspect for keeping clean environments. Aesthetically speaking, it is important for the hermetic doors to be integrated within the hospital project, whether

the hospital is a newly built facility or one which is already in use, all of which is possible thanks to the many different finishes and combinations available. On the other hand, the design of the door itself (recessed vision panels, door handles) can also offer a different style. In addition, the option to install a perimeter frame made of the same finish as the leaf to make the assembly both more attractive and more hermetic, provides a solid, smooth finish, guaranteeing a perfect overlap with the moving leaf. For other areas with special functions, such as observation rooms or intensive care units for example, full glass hermetic doors can be installed, offering great visibility of the inside of the spaces at the same time as hermetically insulating them. They are 100 per cent hermetic doors that maintain the required pressure, temperature and moisture despite their transparency. Furthermore, for situations in which privacy is occasionally required inside the room, the installation of electro
polarised glass that changes from transparent to opaque in a few seconds, offers the option to transform the door into a conventional hermetic door. Lead-lined automatic doors for X-Ray rooms can also be installed, guaranteeing the perfect insulation of these spaces thanks to their lead lining on both the leaf and the vision panel. These doors can be hermetic or not, depending on the space they demarcate, swing or sliding, with the same insulating attributes as hermetic doors without lead (approximation to frame in sliding doors, wind stopper in swing doors, etc.). The hermetic doors are also complemented with specific accessories, such as elbow push buttons to make it easier to open them when people's hands are busy or touchless switches that also allow opening the door without contact, preventing the contamination of already sterilised gloves.
controlled from a central control point with specialised management software, for e.g. Manulink from Manusa. Manulink software allows remote selection of automatic access opening modes (open, closed, reduced opening) and programming for areas with restricted access hours, an extremely useful function in hospital buildings. On the other hand, any type of incident that affects an automatic door can also be remotely detected immediately and integrated with other centralised management systems in the hospital. Manusa offers a complete solution in hospital doors for both specific applications that require hermetic sealing with its wide range of sliding, hermetic, swing, full glass doors for observation wards or lead-lined doors for X-ray rooms, and for applications for automatic entrance doors, corridors, specific areas, etc. All products are available in a wide range of finishes adapted to the specific needs of each hospital project, and with a wide range of accessories to equip the door with practically unlimited.
