Which handle is best for my project?

Hygienic Handles

Introducing our hygienic handles.
They have been manufactured for clinical and food related environments where thorough cleaning procedures are required.
They are made from 316 stainless steel (marine grade) and feature NBR rubber seals to help prevent bacteria from entering the fixing holes. Stainless steel is corrosion resistant, chemically inert, heat resistant and non-toxic.
The surface is smooth and non-porous, meaning bacteria cannot accumulate in hard to reach areas and is eliminated once sanitised.
Applications
- Food manufacturing
- Hospitals
- Veterinary practices
- Dental practices
