Product catalog summary
Introduction
The Operio laminar air flow is a mobile unit designed to create ultraclean air environments in operating and ambulatory rooms. It is easily installed without construction work and aims to prevent airborne bacterial contamination of surgical sites and instruments.

Specifications
The system uses positive pressure air currents filtered through HEPA filters to maintain ISO5 air quality, achieving up to 95% more sterility compared to conventional systems. It is compact, with adjustable instrument tables available in various lengths, and complies with multiple medical device standards, including CE marking and ISO certifications.

Performance and Benefits
Operio's focused laminar air flow creates a germ-free zone, significantly reducing bacterial load on surgical sites and instruments by more than 95%. It is particularly beneficial for minor surgeries, such as hand surgery, providing better aseptic conditions than traditional operating rooms. The system's design ensures that the ultraclean air is not obstructed by surgical lights or personnel.

Comparison with Conventional Systems
Conventional ventilation systems distribute air throughout the operating theatre, often leading to contamination from the floor. In contrast, Operio directs clean air immediately onto critical areas, maintaining sterility even during long operations.

Technical Studies and Validation
Studies have demonstrated significant reductions in bacterial contamination with Operio, including a 1000-fold reduction in particles and compliance with ISO 5 standards. Various studies and expert opinions confirm its efficacy in maintaining sterile conditions.

Conclusion
The Operio laminar air flow system offers a portable, efficient solution for maintaining ultraclean conditions in surgical environments, enhancing patient safety and surgical outcomes.

Operating room ventilation for minor surgery rooms and ambulatory rooms-1

Operating room ventilation for minor surgery rooms and ambulatory rooms Operio laminar air flow is a mobile laminar air flow unit that creates ultraclean air for operating rooms and ambulatory rooms. The portable laminar air flow can be installed in any operating theatre/ operating room or minor surgery room in just a few minutes without any construction work to an affordable price. This operating theater ventilatory system have been developed to prevent direct airborne bacterial inoculation of the surgical wound and instruments. This laminar air flow uses a positive pressure air current through filtration with hepa filters which is directed to the operative field in order to create an ultraclean zone around the operative site. Ultraclean air with ISO5 air quality: the sterility of the surgical field and the instruments is not restricted by the horizontal laminar air flow Operio. Turbulence and germs are largely excluded. This principle achieves up to 95% more “sterility” than with conventional air supply ceilings in the operating theater and on the instruments (see studies). The Operio laminar air flow can be positioned in such a way that a “germ-free zone” is set up, which offers the greatest possible protection for both the surgical team and the patient.

Focus laminar air flow Conventional ventilation system Bacterial load after 60 min. Bacterial load after 60 min. 0,2- 0,52 CFU/m3 (*1) Focused laminar flow systems: the air is filtered through hepa filters free of microorganisms and then directed immediately onto 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 more than 95% compared with conventional...

Hand surgery Operio creates ultraclean conditions to perform small operations like hand surgery and other minor surgeries outside an conventional operating room but with even better aseptic conditions than an conventional operating room. The ultraclean air is not disturbed by surgical light nor the heads of the surgical team as it is directly focused to the operating field. All implants and instruments can directly be opened inside the ultraclean air flow thus keeping the highest aseptic conditions. Instrument preparation: the opening of the implant can be done under aseptic conditions. During...

Technical specifications The Operio devices are extremely small and handy and can also be used in very small rooms. The removable instrument table from Operio is available in various lengths of 45 cm (for intravitreal injections), 60 cm (for ophthalmic operations and intravitreal injections) and 75 cm (for operations that require a lot of instruments). The electrical height adjustment can be carried out by the sterile OR staff (using a sterile covered display) as well as by the other OR staff using a separate display. There is no need to purchase a separate instrument table for storing the instruments....
