Operating & Patient Care Environments
Precise Systems Built to High Standards
It’s not easy to maintain a pristine environment in operating rooms, but meeting strict air quality standards is vital in preventing surgical-site infections. Air systems must also account for the presence of anesthesia gases but can’t contaminate antiseptic surfaces or compromise contained contamination. Sometimes, these systems must reduce or eliminate air particles to cleanroom standards.
From a clinical standpoint, prevention includes scrubbing and gowning, special equipment sterilization procedures, and strict protocols for movements within the sterile field. From a built environment standpoint, precautions include washable surfaces resistant to microbial growth, controlled or sealed access points, and even ultraviolet disinfection technology. Maintaining a tightly controlled range for temperature, pressure, relative humidity, and ventilation is also essential.
Operamed
Operamed’s comprehensive approach to creating specialized environments such as operating rooms, intensive care units, wards, sterilizations, diagnostic departments, dental clinics, and cleanrooms is based on the innovative TrueSpace prefabrication system. Operamed can offer sophisticated, customized solutions that are prefabricated offsite.
The planning and design of operating rooms are customized for each client. At the Operamed production plant, all elements are built with millimetric precision. Installations are designed to be non-intrusive, minimizing dust and noise. That means it’s possible to construct an Operamed operating room on-site without shutting down large parts of a healthcare facility.
