Handrails for hospitals, cARE HOMEs, veterinary practices or dENTAL SURGERies
Healthcare environments require handrail systems that provide safe, reliable support while remaining hygienic, durable and easy to maintain. From hospitals and care homes to dental practices, veterinary surgeries and specialist facilities, our handrail systems are designed to meet the demands of busy healthcare environments.
Handrails can play an important role in helping people with reduced mobility navigate entrances, ramps, steps, corridors, walkways and terraces. Our solutions can be designed to meet accessibility requirements while providing a comfortable and secure grip.
Recommended System Configuration
For healthcare environments, we recommend Stargard PVC handrails. The 4mm (4,000 micron) PVC sleeve provides a warm-to-touch surface that is comfortable to use, even in colder conditions.
Stargard is suitable for both internal and external applications, making it ideal for everything from entrance ramps and external steps to corridors and circulation areas.
The system can also incorporate tactile handrail ends, helping provide additional guidance for visually impaired users.

Why Choose BPI Healthcare Handrails?
Healthcare handrails need to do more than simply provide support. They need to be comfortable to use, easy to maintain and capable of withstanding frequent use.
Stargard combines the strength of a robust handrail system with the comfort and practical benefits of a PVC sleeve. Its warm-to-touch finish, impact resistance and range of configuration options make it a suitable choice for demanding healthcare environments.
