Material

All materials HT Group implements have their own advantages and provide each their special combination of
design, aesthetic, technics, hygiene and functionality.

Stainless Steel
Stainless Steel – powder coating
Glass
Impact

Depending on the certain requirements of the project, the material is chosen from all involved persons to achieve
the best solution for the customer.

Stainless steel Stainless steel – powder coating Glass Impact

Glass offers new possibilities where conventional materials have reached
their limit:
With its nearly non-porous surface the solid and long lasting material can be
cleaned easily and antiseptically.
Therefore it is recommendable for rooms with high hygienic standards as
operating rooms, ICUs or clean rooms.
Wall covering designed in powder-coated Stainless Steel.
Glazing is also available in any size at any position.

HT Control –
A new approach to room control

HT Control stands for sustainable and efficient room

management.

It enables hospital and laboratory operators to

manage energy and other resources sustainably and
coordinate the relevant tasks.

The HT Control device combines the different

control interfaces, such as for lighting, doors, blinds,
HVAC and many more in one user interface. This
way, it is still open for future adaptions.

Material and system advantages

Constructional and functional requirements

Testing of the susceptibility to germination, cleaning possibilities, antimicrobial effect and microbial resistance
has documented, that our materials meet with the most demanding hygienic requirements.
Bacteria, viruses and fungi will be reduced just by the material properties.
The plain, closed surfaces prevent the penetration of pathogenic agents and thus avoid development of bio film.
The materials are resistant against transformation by microorganisms.

Cleaning and Disinfection

All materials are tested and certified for application in clean rooms.
Resistant against detergents and germicides according to VAH list.
Resistant against fumigation with H2O2 and formaldehyde.
VAH list of disinfectants

The VAH list of disinfectants

(The Association for Applied Hygiene)

is a bilingual publication and contains information

on the test methods, explanatory notes on active ingredients,
an index of companies as well as information on the practical
application of disinfectants.

Sanitary
The washing facility consists of a high quality stainless steel design combined
with a basin made of a special mineral composite.

The piping of the fresh water and waste water are prefabricated in the scrub sinks
up to the connection point to the overall piping on the backside of the scrub sink.
Scrub Facilities
Door Systems
The drive of the door systems is hidden behind a cover,
the door is easy to clean and a quick and easy access for
maintenance is possible. Recommendable especially for the
OR area as the door drive is encapsulated und therefore
doesn´t emit dirt into the OR.
Room concepts
Logistical concepts highly influence the
hygiene standard in the OR area
