Prevention of Endophthalmitis After Cataract Surgery Operio generates an ultra clean air flow which protects the instruments and the operating field (and that is what counts!) Operio generates a level of aseptic that is up to 100 times higher than in a conventional operating room for eye surgery (ISO class 7), as the sterile air flow protects the instruments and the surgical field without any obstacles such as the surgical microscope or the surgical team. An existing operating room or ambulatory room can be upgraded into an ultra-clean ISO 5 operating area in just a few minutes. Aseptic conditions are particularly important in eye surgery because the consequences of endophthalmitis are dramatic. (for the patient and for the reputation of the surgeon and clinic). When performing transplants or when using implants, prostheses, keratoprostheses, etc., sterile conditions are particularly important! The decisive criteria for the occurrence of postoperative wound infections is the contamination of the operating field and the instruments / implants with pathogens during the surgical procedure

Aseptic conditions without obstacles Operio sterile Air Flow protects the instruments and the OR field directly and without obstacles such as the OR microscope or the OR team.

Conventional operating room eye surgery The sterile air is blocked by the surgical microscope and the heads of the surgical team. The high number of patients in eye surgery creates a favorable environment for the transmission of potential infectious agents. Conventional operating theater: with traditional air supply ceilings, the "sterility" is very limited and only given directly under the air supply outlet with the Hepa filter. The ultraclean airflow from the ceiling can direct airborne particles from the O.R. team and previous patients onto the instruments and operating field, increasing...

Operating room Eye surgery with Operio sterile air flow The sterile air flow is perceived by the staff as very pleasant, as it does not generate any cold air and is also very quiet - comparable to a projector Application: intravitreal injections, cataract operations, glaucoma operations, refractive surgery, laser surgery, etc. Operio is extremely efficient as it protects precisely the most important area -the operating field and the instruments from bacteria and microorganisms. The ultraclean air flow produces an aseptic area over the instrument area and operating field which is up to 100...

Operio can also be used to prepare the instruments for the operation under “cleanroom conditions” thus maintaining the sterility of the instruments. Conventional operating rooms do normally not have any protected zone by ultraclean air for the preparation of instruments and hence the instruments might be contaminated before they are even used. After instrument preparation the instrument table is then simply moved to the operating field and extend the protecting zone also to the operating area. After instrument preparation the instrument table is simply moved to the operating field and...

Prevent Endophthalmitis after intravitreal injection Operio generates on the instruments and in the operating field an asepsis that is up to 100 times higher than in a conventional operating room ISO 7 for eye surgery Operio generates on the instruments and in the operating field (and that is what counts!) an asepsis that is up to 100 times higher than in a conventional operating room for eye surgery. The sterile air flow is directed to the instruments and the surgical field without any obstacles such as the surgical microscope or the surgical team and hence creates an extreme high level of...

Intravitreal injection ( IVI) Intravitreal injections can also be carried out outside of a conventional operating room in the outpatient area with the highest level of safety for the patient and the surgical team. Operio laminar air flow generates onto the instruments and in the operating field (and that is what counts!) an asepsis level that is up to 100 times higher than in a conventional ISO class 7 operating room for eye surgery, as the ultraclean air flow protects the surgical field and instruments without any obstacles such as microscope or heads of O.R. staff.. Benefits -can be used...

Operio enables the necessary hygienic prerequisites to perform operations in eye surgery and intravitreal injections outside of the central operating room in the outpatient area! Every minute in the OR is precious!

Intravitreal injection

Technical specifications The devices are extremely small and handy and can also be used in very small rooms. The detachable 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 sterile OR staff (using a sterile-covered screen) and by non sterile OR staff using a separate display. There is no need to purchase a separate instrument table to store the instruments....

Everything which is to come into contact with the wound has been made sterile, except the air, which is in contact with everything
