Air Filtration Systems for Orthopedic Surgery
Operio and SteriStay provide a powerful solution for infection prevention during orthopedic procedures, particularly in joint replacement surgeries such as hip and knee prostheses. While conventional ISO 7 operating rooms often fall short in maintaining adequate sterility, Operio systems deliver ISO 5 ultra-clean air directly over the surgical field and instrument table, meeting the standards required for Room Class 1b—without structural renovation.
By providing targeted laminar airflow, Operio prevents airborne contamination caused by staff movement or surgical lights, significantly reducing the risk of periprosthetic joint infections, which are among the most serious complications in orthopedic surgery. The SteriStay instrument table expands the sterile protection zone around surgical tools and implants—critical for long, complex procedures involving multiple instruments and implants.
