What is a sluice system in hospitals?

It is an access control system with a double automatic door that prevents cross-contamination between different areas of the hospital.

Automatic and rapid doors for hospitals and laboratories

Manusa offers access solutions with automatic doors for hospitals adapted to the entire healthcare complex, from operating areas to main entrances, emergency departments and internal sectorisation. Our sanitary automatic doors are designed to guarantee hygiene, safety and comfort for patients and professionals.

In the healthcare environment, where hygiene and reliability are crucial, these doors ensure rigorous access control and smooth, safe circulation, helping to reduce contamination and improve operational efficiency.

Hermetic doors for operating theatres guarantee aseptic environments, while heavy-use doors at critical access points provide speed and reliability. Sectorisation doors allow flows to be organised and privacy to be preserved between areas.

Additionally, Manusa incorporates rapid doors with Class 5 air permeability, ideal for zones that require a high level of isolation, as they minimise air leakage and maintain controlled environmental conditions in settings such as laboratories or specialised healthcare areas.
