Product catalog summary
Overview: The Operio Laminar Air Flow device is designed to create aseptic conditions comparable to an ISO 5 operating room by using a sterile air flow that directly protects instruments and the operating field. This is particularly beneficial for surgeries in neonatal intensive care units (NICU) and other sensitive environments.
Specifications: The device uses a highly efficient H14 HEPA filter to eliminate over 99.9% of bacteria and microorganisms. It filters 400 m3 of air per hour, reducing microorganisms in the entire room. The device is compact, with a width of 32 cm, and can be easily positioned in small spaces. It operates quietly and does not generate cold air, making it comfortable for use during surgeries.
Applications: The Operio device is suitable for various surgical procedures, including those involving premature infants, emergency neonatal surgeries, hand surgery, maxillofacial surgery, plastic surgery, and surgeries involving COVID-19 patients. It can also be used for intravitreal injections and to upgrade existing operating rooms for high-asepsis procedures like prosthesis and eye surgeries.
Benefits: The device ensures a high level of asepsis by reducing bacterial load by more than 95% compared to conventional ventilation systems. It allows for sterile conditions directly on the ward without the need for special room modifications. The device's mobility and ease of use make it ideal for maintaining sterility in various medical settings.
Technical Compliance: The Operio device carries the CE mark and complies with the Medical Device Directive 93/42 EEC and other relevant standards. Studies have shown significant reductions in particle counts and bacterial loads in surgical fields when using the device.
Conclusion: The Operio Laminar Air Flow device offers a practical solution for maintaining aseptic conditions in various medical environments, enhancing patient safety and surgical outcomes.

Surgery performed in the neonatal intensive care unit NICU-1

Surgery of premature infants and emergency neonatal surgery Surgery performed in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) can be performed under strict aseptic conditions with a mobile laminar air flow in combination with hepa filter system in a microprimie that prevent the potential instability of the tiny fragile patient if transferred to an operation room outside the NICU Focus Laminar Air Flow Operio The sterile Air Flow device Operio filters the ambient air through a highly cleaning H 14 Hepa filter with an efficiency of over 99.995% which eliminates bacteria and microorganisms to over 99.9%! The devices can be positioned in such a way that a “germ-free zone” is set up that creates the greatest possible aseptic condition - even during operations on the ward. The devices create an ultra-clean, aseptic zone for the operating filed and the instruments without changing the room temperature. The devices filter 400 m3 of air per hour so that the microorganisms are reduced in the entire room The devices generate an asepsis on the instruments and the operating field (and that is what counts!) which is comparable to an ISO 5 operating room, since the sterile air flow protects the instruments and the operating field directly and without any obstacles such as the operating room -lights or surgical team. can be used immediately no cold air temperature

Aseptic conditions for emergency operations on premature babies The devices generate an asepsis on the instruments and the operating field (and that is what counts!) which is comparable to an ISO 5 operating room, since the sterile air flow protects the instruments and the operating field directly and without any obstacles such as the operating room -lights or surgical team. The decisive fact for the occurrence of postoperative wound infections is the contamination of the operating area and the instruments / implants with pathogens during the duration of the surgical procedure. The effectiveness...

0,2-0,52 CFU/m3 (*1)63,5 -381 CFU/m3 (*2) 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 ventilation systems. Air filtered through conventional ventilation systems is first directed...

Hand surgery maxillofacial surgery plastic surgery The positioning of the Operio laminar air flow unit is very easy. The sterile Air Flow protects both the instruments and the operating field. An extremely high level of asepsis is achieved, as the sterile air flow is not hindered by the surgical team or by surgical lights. The sterile air flow is perceived by the staff as very pleasant, as it does not generate cold air. Surgery with Covid-19 patients: the devices work with highly cleaning Hepa H 14 filters which also eliminate coronavirus Covid-19 to 99.9%! The devices can be positioned in such...

Technical specifications The devices are extremely small and handy and can also be used in very small spaces. The removable instrument table by Operio is available in various lengths of 45 cm (for the smallest operations), 60 cm (for normal operations) 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. The constant cleaning of the...
