Focused laminar flow for ophthalmology The focused laminar flow acts directly on the surgical site and instrument table without being impeded, thus reducing by up to 95% the bacterial load on the surgical site and instrument table Operio is a focused laminar flow unit positioned in the perioperative area directly on the surgical wound, without introducing obstacles into the zone. This technology continuously produces sterile air, removing airborne particles and microorganisms from the critical zone of the surgical site and instruments. Operio focused laminar flow is the ideal solution for ophthalmology and intravitreal injections. The flow does not pass obstacles such as the surgical microscope and the head-neck area of the operating surgeon maintaining an extreme high degree of asepsis. 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 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.

Ultraclean area Operio: 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...
