Operating room infection control

We combine a continuous layer that works during surgery with a terminal layer between cases and clean air where risk is highest. Ventilation remains the foundation; these technologies add protection on top of it.

Healthcare challenge

The challenge in operating rooms

Surgical site infections are among the most serious complications of surgery. Bacteria shed by people in the theatre can settle on the wound or on instruments, and every surface must be reliably disinfected between cases without slowing the list.

Risks and operational considerations

  • Airborne bacteria during the procedure, rising with door openings and staff movement
  • Shadowed or missed surfaces after manual cleaning
  • Pressure on turnaround time between cases
  • Drug-resistant organisms such as MRSA
  • Shared devices moving between theatres

A layered approach, not a single device

We combine a continuous layer that works during surgery with a terminal layer between cases and clean air where risk is highest. Ventilation remains the foundation; these technologies add protection on top of it.

Relevant products and technologies

Each technology covers a different route: air, surfaces or shared equipment. The final mix is confirmed after a site assessment.
