For those planning or renovating modular operating rooms, ensuring clean air and preventing cross-infection are key concerns. Laminar air supply ceilings, as a key component of air purification, have become standard equipment in most hospital operating theaters.
This article will examine the functions, classifications, and key selection factors of laminar air supply ceilings, allowing the Amber Team to provide a professional and practical reference guide.
Why is a Laminar Air Supply Ceiling essential for Modular Operating Theatres?
The Laminar Air Supply Ceiling's primary function is to distribute air through the ceiling, creating a uniform, continuous vertical laminar airflow. This delivers clean air to the surgical area, quickly removing contaminated particles and pathogens. This air flow ensures a "clean, positive-pressure environment" in the surgical area, effectively reducing the risk of infection.
In traditional operating rooms, air flow is often uneven, prone to turbulence and contamination hotspots. In a Modular Operating Room, the scientifically designed Laminar Air Supply Ceiling not only ensures air cleanliness meets international standards but also seamlessly integrates with the overall modular structure, achieving energy savings, noise reduction, and ease of maintenance.
Laminar Air Supply Ceiling Main Categories
By Air Supply Area
Full Coverage Ceilings
Suitable for high-grade hospital operating theaters (e.g., Class 100 or higher), they cover the entire operating area, creating a maximum air barrier.
Local Air Supply Ceilings
Commonly used in general surgery or low-risk operating rooms, their coverage is concentrated around the operating table and surrounding core areas, ensuring cleanliness in critical areas while maintaining an optimal balance in energy consumption.
By Filtration Method
High-Efficiency HEPA Filter Ceilings
Equipped with H13 or H14-grade HEPA filters, they are suitable for most surgical scenarios.
Ultra-High-Efficiency ULPA Filter Ceilings
Designed for high-risk areas such as cardiac surgery and orthopedic implant surgeries, they ensure a particle filtration efficiency of 99.999%.
By Structural Type
Modular Ceilings
Can be flexibly assembled and combined to meet the needs of the modular operating room and the surgical department, supporting customized customization.
One-Piece Ceilings
Compact and easy to install, they are suitable for small and medium-sized hospitals or operating room renovation projects.
How to choose the right Laminar Air Supply Ceiling for your operating room?
Based on the surgical risk level
Different surgical procedures require different air cleanliness levels. High-risk procedures (cardiothoracic surgery, transplant surgery) are more suitable for a full-coverage air supply ceiling with ULPA filtration, while low-risk procedures can opt for a combination of localized air supply ceilings with HEPA filtration.
Integrating the operating room space and layout
In hospital operating theater design, the ceiling dimensions must be aligned with the room area, ceiling height, and operating table height to ensure uniform airflow over the operating area.
Focus on energy conservation and maintenance
The operating energy consumption of a Laminar Air Supply Ceiling is crucial. Choosing a system with low-noise fans and replaceable filter modules can ensure cleanliness while reducing ongoing operating costs.
