As concerns regarding the threat of violence towards medical staff continue to be at the forefront of news agendas, hundreds of hospitals and institutions around the world have installed Vistamatic Vision Panels.

In the UK alone, government figures show that NHS staff suffer more that 100,00 incidents of abuse each year, costing the service around £69 million. There is a need for staff to be protected in a way which will not interfere with the important work that they do.

Vistamatic Vision Panels offer the safety of high protection glass and can be designed to blend discreetly into any hospital environment, often being customised as a visual sign for patients to follow. A three ply glass system allows staff to check the well-being of patients with the turn of a handle, whilst providing them with a greater deal of privacy where appropriate.

Panels can be manufactured to incorporate X-ray and laser protection, and they are more hygienic than blinds.
