Advanced Ventilation for Ships and Mobile Operating Rooms: Operio Focused Laminar Air Flow

Ensuring ISO 5 Sterility in Maritime and Mobile Surgical Suites

The Challenge of Maintaining Sterility in Ship-Based and Mobile Operating Rooms

Performing surgical procedures in maritime environments and mobile medical units presents significant challenges. Unlike traditional hospitals, ships, offshore medical stations, and field hospitals lack built-in high-efficiency HVAC systems. These environments are compact, subject to movement, and often operate with limited ventilation infrastructure, making infection control a critical concern.

Sterility is crucial in preventing surgical site infections (SSIs), particularly in remote locations where immediate access to advanced medical facilities is not possible. The Operio Mobile Laminar Air Flow system provides a highly effective, rapidly deployable solution that ensures ISO 5 sterility in just two minutes, creating a safer surgical environment even in the most challenging conditions.

How Operio Enhances Operating Theatre Ventilation for Ships and Mobile Surgical Suites

Operio is designed to overcome the ventilation limitations of mobile and maritime operating rooms by providing focused sterile airflow directly over the surgical site and instruments. Unlike traditional overhead ventilation systems that struggle with obstructions from surgical lights and personnel movement, Operio delivers uninterrupted ultra-clean air exactly where it is needed, ensuring a continuously sterile field.

Key Benefits of Operio for Maritime and Mobile Operating Rooms

Immediate ISO 5 Sterility: The system achieves ultra-clean surgical conditions within two minutes, preventing contamination before, during, and after procedures.

Targeted Airflow for Maximum Protection: Unlike conventional ventilation, which may be compromised by movement and spatial constraints, Operio delivers direct, sterile airflow over the surgical site and instruments, eliminating 99.9% of bacteria and viruses, including SARS-CoV-2.

Compact and Mobile Design: Operio fits seamlessly into small surgical suites on ships, field hospitals, and humanitarian missions, making it ideal for use in crisis zones, offshore facilities, and military medical units.

Energy-Efficient and Cost-Effective: Requiring only 290W of power, Operio is far more energy-efficient than traditional HVAC systems, making it an affordable solution for medical units in remote locations.

Uninterrupted Sterility in Dynamic Environments: Ship-based surgical suites experience constant movement, which can disrupt airflow in conventional ventilation systems. Operio maintains a stable, sterile airflow, unaffected by personnel movement, surgical lights, or environmental factors.

No Need for Complex HVAC Infrastructure: Unlike fixed air purification systems that require costly installation and maintenance, Operio is a plug-and-play solution, allowing hospitals, naval medical units, and emergency response teams to establish ISO 5 sterile conditions instantly.

Optimized Infection Control for Ship-Based and Field Medical Units

For hospital ships, cruise ships, naval vessels, and military medical facilities, maintaining continuous asepsis is essential. Whether performing emergency procedures at sea or providing surgical care in remote humanitarian missions, Operio ensures that airborne contamination is minimized, even in confined and challenging environments.

The system is particularly well-suited for disaster relief missions, offshore oil rig medical units, and mobile surgical suites in remote areas. With HEPA H14 filtration, it effectively removes airborne contaminants, reducing infection risks and ensuring optimal patient safety in high-risk environments.
