Introduction: The Importance of Sterility in ENT Surgeries
ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) surgeries, such as sinus surgery, tonsillectomy, cochlear implantation, and reconstructive procedures, require meticulous attention to sterility. Contamination risks in ENT surgeries are heightened due to their proximity to microbial-rich regions like the nasal cavity and oral cavity. Ensuring aseptic conditions is critical for reducing infection risks and improving surgical outcomes.
The Operio Mobile Laminar Air Flow Unit addresses these challenges by creating ISO 5 sterile conditions, transforming conventional operating rooms or outpatient surgical spaces into ultra-clean environments. Operio’s focused sterile airflow protects both the surgical field and instruments, ensuring maximum sterility throughout ENT procedures.
How Operio Benefits ENT Surgery
- Focused Sterile Airflow
- Operio delivers horizontal sterile airflow directly to the surgical field and instrument table, ensuring ultra-clean conditions without obstructions from surgical lights, microscopes, or staff movement.
- Achieves sterility levels up to 100 times greater than conventional ventilation systems.
- Infection Prevention
- Removes 99.9% of airborne bacteria and microorganisms, including viruses like COVID-19, reducing the risk of post-surgical infections.
- Particularly beneficial for complex ENT surgeries involving implants, such as cochlear devices, where asepsis is critical for success.
- Instrument Preparation in Sterile Zones
- Operio allows for instrument preparation within the sterile airflow zone, maintaining asepsis until they are transferred to the surgical field.
- Portable and Easy Setup
- The mobile unit requires only a standard power outlet and can be deployed in minutes, making it ideal for upgrading existing ENT operating rooms or outpatient settings without costly renovations.
- Comfortable Operating Environment
- Operio operates quietly and delivers ambient-temperature air, ensuring a comfortable environment for both the surgical team and the patient.
Applications of Operio in ENT Surgeries
- Sinus and Nasal Surgeries
- Procedures like endoscopic sinus surgery benefit from Operio’s sterile airflow, reducing contamination in the nasal passages.
- Tonsillectomy and Adenoidectomy
- The sterile conditions provided by Operio minimize the risk of bacterial exposure during procedures in the oral cavity.
- Cochlear Implantation
- Implants like cochlear devices demand ultra-clean environments to ensure successful integration and prevent post-operative infections.
- Head and Neck Reconstructive Surgeries
- Operio supports complex procedures by maintaining sterile conditions even in challenging operating environments.
