Door Knobs and Handles against the flu

Two smart proposals By Serrature Meroni to reduce the transmission of bacteria and virus in communities, hospitals, offices and public spaces

Media keep raising the pandemic alert of AH1N1 flu as a reflection of the virus transmission and the recomendations, coming from the experts, underline the importance of protecting our health by scrupulous personal hygiene and, most of all, often washing hands, the part of our body more frequently in contact with contaminated surfaces.

However, especially in crowded public spaces, it's impossible avoid touching contaminated objects like handles and two special Meroni products — Pigio, the push-pull handle and Combina, the antibacterial knob – represent the active contribution offered by Meroni to lessen the spread of pathogen microorganisms and are highly appreciated by architects and project managers as well as their top choices for offices, schools and other public places.

 

PIGIO is the first European lock to obtain CE EN 179 certification, making it fit even to emergency exits and its mechanism allows the door to be opened simply by pushing or pulling the handle even with your elbow or hip.

 

COMBINA is available in a special antibacterial version thanks to its innovative polymer, perfectly inert from the microbiological point of view and, together with Pigio, is the perfect solution for all those common areas where hygiene and prevention of the transmission of potential pathogen microorganism play a determinant role.

Two solutions for today's and tomorrow's world: harmonizing form and function makes the difference when you look for quality solutions.
