Operating room ventilation

Typical challenges

A typical challenge facing an operating room is that the patient may suffer an infection during the operation.

Another challenge is to create a comfortable work environment, as thermal comfort preferences differ considerably between individual surgeons, anesthetists, and patients.

Also, the operating room is often full of equipment, which can disrupt the flow of people and the airflow in the room. That, in turn, can have negative effects on air cleanliness or the surgery area.

Halton can create an operating room for you that offers flexible use and allows you to utilise the whole room. Also, the turnover time between operations is under 10 minutes – you are ready for another surgery very soon. At the same time, we can guarantee an ultra-clean operating environment.

Halton’s solution is highly energy-efficient so reduces your energy bills. In addition, the whole room is much quieter than many systems currently on the market. Our dilution mixing ventilation solution creates a comfortable work environment, and the risk of draughts is very low, so the solution doesn’t bring cold air to the neck area. Halton can offer operating rooms of both ultra-clean (ISO 5) and clean (ISO 7) class.
