Brief

The Crick required hygienic door solutions and automation systems to be installed throughout the facility.

Solution

Dortek designed and installed more than 500 bespoke hygienic doors and automation systems throughout the facility. This included non fire rated and fire rated single action and sliding doors & hermetically sealing sliding doors. Our doors were essential for providing protection across hazardous fire areas. Our void-free doors are also hygienic, easy to clean, non-absorbent and do not harbour bacteria. This makes them ideally suited to research laboratories that are sensitive to contamination.

Brief

The trust required specialist hybrid operating theatre doors for its new hybrid operating suite. The hybrid theatre provides the surgical technology to enable surgeons to switch between open vascular surgery and endovascular surgery as necessary, with full real-time imaging support.

Solution

Dortek’s hygienic operating theatre doors were installed in theatre areas with x-ray protection to accommodate x-ray equipment. Doors were also automated to allow staff to open and close them without touching to reduce the risk of infection. Dortek hybrid operating theatre doors can combine a number of key properties all in one hygienic door. Whether it’s x-ray rated, automated, fire-rated, waterproof or hermetically sealing sliding, these doors were a versatile solution for this new breed of hybrid operating theatres.
