Upgrade of existing operating room to ISO class 5

Upgrade your existing operating room with a modern ultra clean ventilation system

The focused laminar air flow system provides a flow of ultra-clean air for operating rooms at a fraction of the cost of conventional, ceiling-mounted units, enabling operating rooms to be upgraded and meet the ISO 5 standards. In the case of focused laminar flow systems, the air is filtered through Hepa filters free of microorganisms and then directed immediately on to the surgical instruments and surgical site. It is only then distributed throughout the operating theatre. This protects the critical area of the operating theatre, i.e. the instruments and the surgical site. With this system, the bacterial load on the instruments and surgical site is reduced by 95% compared with conventional ventilation systems. The fewer the bacteria that enter the patient’s body via the instruments or surgical wound, the less antibiotics are needed to combat them. Instruments can always be prepared in the zone protected by the focused laminar air flow unit, thus maintaining their sterility even during long operations. At the start of surgery, the instrument table prepared under focused laminar air flow is simply moved towards the surgical site and the focused laminar flow also protects the surgical wound area.

The focused laminar flow unit also allows the instruments to be prepared outside the operating theatre in order to reduce the time spent preparing the instruments.

The focused laminar flow unit can be transported and installed in any operating theatre in just a few minutes without interfering with the existing ventilation system. It is an ideal system for prosthetic surgery and any out-patient surgery such as cosmetic surgery, ophthalmology, intravitreal injections, etc.
