Operating Theatres

Safeguarding human life at it's most vulnerable

To understand HVAC solutions within an operating theatre we must first be aware of the varirty of risks. Our specialist hospital HVAC solutions have been developed to meet the specific needs of this application type. 

During an operation contamination can come from 2 main sources. The first type of source is engogenous, which essentially comes directly from the patients skin or body matter; or from an infected prosthesis or implant. Secondly, exogenous, which comes from the surrounding environment or surgical staff and their equipment. 

The understanding of the above leads us on to consider such things as direct and indirect contamination. Direct meaning items that will directly be place in contact with the patient during surgery such as surgeons hands and instruments. Indirect is therefore contamination which might come from dust in the air, droplet nuclei or even the fibres in clothing.
