The Operio Advantage in Plastic Surgery

1. Extreme Sterility for Safety

Operio creates a sterile air barrier with its horizontal laminar air flow, ensuring that instruments and implants are protected from contamination during surgery. This technology reduces bacterial contamination on the operating field and instruments by up to 95%, far surpassing conventional ventilation systems.

• Obstacle-Free Air Flow: Unlike traditional systems, Operio’s sterile air flow is not obstructed by surgical lights, team members, or other equipment.
• H14 HEPA Filter Technology: Operio uses a three-stage filtration system, including an H14 HEPA filter, which removes over 99.9% of bacteria, microorganisms, and even viruses like COVID-19.

2. Mobility and Cost-Efficiency

Operio units are mobile and can be quickly deployed in various surgical settings, offering a cost-effective alternative to expensive and immobile ventilation systems.

• Ready in Minutes: Operio only requires a standard power outlet and is operational within minutes.
• No Structural Modifications Needed: The system is perfect for upgrading existing operating rooms or outpatient surgery centers without the need for extensive construction or retrofitting.

3. Implant Preparation and Traceability

• Sterile Instrument Table: Operio’s instrument table, equipped with sterile air flow, ensures implants are prepared under optimal aseptic conditions.
• Defensive Medicine: Operio includes a traceability system, offering additional legal and hygienic safeguards against surgical site infections (SSIs).

4. Superior Air Filtration and Efficiency

• High Air Exchange Rates: Operio filters 400-600 m³ of air per hour, meaning the air in a 40 m³ room is completely replaced every six minutes.
• Localized Sterility: The horizontal laminar flow directly protects the surgical site, creating a “bacteria-free zone” where it matters most.

Breast Implant Infections: Prevent Surgical Site Infections in Cosmetic Surgery

Breast implant infections tend to arise from bacteria that enter the patient, especially during breast implant surgery. The use of prosthetic materials is linked to an increased possibility of surgical site infection. Implant infection is the main complication related to breast aesthetic and reconstructive surgery. Once bacteria come in contact with an implant, the body’s own defenses cannot easily fight off an infection.

Even with the use of antibiotics, infections cannot always be prevented, or if already present, always cured. It is very important that a patient undergo surgery in a sterile environment. Frequently, breast implant surgery is performed in the back room of a doctor’s office, which sometimes can lead to less than ideal sterile conditions.

Why Sterility Matters in Implant Surgeries

Implant surgeries, such as breast augmentation, are highly susceptible to infections due to the use of prosthetic materials. Once bacteria contaminate an implant, the body’s defenses struggle to eradicate the infection. This can lead to severe complications, including capsular contracture or implant removal.

Key Facts:

• Surgical site infection rates after breast implant surgeries range from 1% to 53%, with higher risks in suboptimal sterile environments.
• Operio enables conditions that meet ISO 5 standards (equivalent to room class 1B), ensuring that implants and surgical fields remain uncontaminated during procedures.

Applications of Operio in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery

Operio is ideal for:

• Breast Implant Surgery: Provides a sterile environment for implant preparation and surgical procedures.
• Reconstructive Surgery: Ensures high aseptic standards for patients with heightened infection risks, such as oncological cases.
• Breast Cancer Surgery: Chemotherapy often compromises the immune system, making these patients especially vulnerable to infections. Operio creates sterile conditions even in challenging surgical environments, reducing the risk of infections and promoting recovery.
• Outpatient Centers: Enables high-standard surgeries in outpatient settings without costly upgrades to conventional ventilation systems.

Benefits for Surgeons and Patients

• Reduced Infection Risk: Minimized microbial contamination for safer surgeries.
• Enhanced Patient Outcomes: Sterile conditions promote better healing, long-lasting results, and patient satisfaction. In plastic surgery, where patients expect excellent results, maintaining sterility is critical to meeting these high expectations.
• Protection of Reputation: For surgeons, a single infection can severely damage their reputation. Operio’s traceability system provides proof that every effort was made to maintain sterility, offering a crucial legal safeguard in case of disputes.

Conclusion: Operio for the Future of Plastic Surgery

Operio Portable Laminar Air Flow units redefine the standards of sterility in plastic and reconstructive surgery. With proven effectiveness, mobility, and cost-efficiency, they empower surgeons to perform safer, more efficient procedures.
