In today’s high-traffic healthcare environments, every surface can pose a risk. Hospitals, clinics, and medical offices must constantly balance safety, efficiency, and regulatory compliance. Touchless exit devices offer a smart solution - enabling contactless egress, minimizing cross-contamination, and supporting hygienic, secure operations.


Minimizing Risk at Every Doorway

Touchless exit solutions eliminate the need to physically push or pull doors, significantly reducing surface contact and the potential spread of germs. This is especially vital in healthcare settings, where infection control is paramount and high-touch surfaces can quickly become transmission hotspots.


Streamlining Workflow and Ensuring Compliance

Hands-free access enhances both convenience and compliance. Healthcare staff transporting patients, equipment, or supplies can move seamlessly without interruption. These devices also support ADA compliance, infection prevention protocols, and cleanroom standards - while integrating with access control systems to maintain security.


Engineered for Healthcare Environments

Available in various formats, including wall-mounted sensors and integrated switches, touchless exit devices are designed to meet the unique demands of healthcare facilities. Many models offer relay connections for door automation, access control integration, and alerting functions. With vandal-resistant construction, rapid response times, and straightforward installation, they’re ideal for emergency departments, labs, surgical suites, and patient care areas.


A Long-Term Investment in Hygiene

Beyond pandemic response, touchless infrastructure continues to play a critical role in promoting public health and patient confidence. Facilities benefit from cleaner environments, reduced maintenance due to less physical wear, and smoother movement for both patients and staff.


As healthcare facilities modernize, touchless technologies provide a safer, smarter way to navigate critical spaces - supporting both operational excellence and infection control.
