Office Based Surgery or day surgery, an increasing surgical practice.
The increase in surgical activity year after year leads to an adaptation of practices. Certain minor procedures lasting less than 1h30 min and not requiring post-interventional follow-up care can be performed outside the traditional operating theatre structures, for example in the doctor’s office, in consultation departments or in small adapted local structures. Many specialities are concerned, such as ENT, dental, gynaecology, dermatology and minor traumatology.
Office Based surgery and environmental contamination
In a poor regulation context, the practitioners in day surgery units need recommendations to avoid patient contamination by the environment. Air quality is one of the concerns that should be addressed.
According to their practice or the risk analysis, surgeons usually need to adapt their office. Most of the time, it is impossible to dramatically change the existing area. They are looking for efficient, easy solutions without structural work.
airinspace solutions for Office Based Surgery units
We offer different options taking into account the room configuration providing the requested performance in regards to the type of surgery and the associated risk.
- Installation HEPA3Air purifier: This is the simplest solution. The air purifier is placed close to the patient and improves air quality in the area. Air is treated by recirculation.
- Creation of a pressure room: Our PLASMAIRTM or HEPA air purifiers are installed outside the surgeon’s office. They blow decontaminated air through the wall and create positive pressure and ISO 7 air quality.
- Création of small operating room (clean room like): Equipped with clean room walls and an automatic door with a controlled leak rate, the BIOCAIRTM creates an environmentally controlled area up to ISO 5 inside the surgeon’s office.
