Modular walls and ceilings in surgery rooms

Modular walls and ceilings in surgery rooms offer many advantages, which enhance the functionality, efficiency, and safety of the operating environment.

These advantages include:

Flexibility and Customization: Modular walls can be easily reconfigured or expanded to meet the specific needs of different surgical or acute care procedures. This flexibility allows healthcare facilities to adapt their operating rooms for various surgical specialties and equipment requirements. Customized solutions are a great benefit, provided that they are standards compliant. Here’s our advice: always look for experienced and well-known contractors. Only this way your individual operating room will be compliant with standards and future-proof.

Durability: Modular OR solution provided by ALVO Medical® is a certified product made of long-lasting materials, which can withstand the rigors of surgical procedures, frequent cleaning and disinfection without deteriorating or showing signs of wear. Our modular operating rooms that were installed 20 years ago still serve patients and do look great!

Quick Installation and Reconfiguration: Modular walls can be installed relatively quickly compared to traditional construction and fitting methods. Approx. 40%* shorter installation time means that with the ALVO Medical® modular OR solution your operating theater can be commissioned faster and generate profits sooner. Modular infrastructure will also minimize downtime in operating rooms and allow for rapid changes or upgrades to the facility (approx. 50%* faster service).  Upgrades may refer to built-in elements, like displays, sockets, cabinets, ceilings and even doors! Most works can be done overnight, in clean, controlled manner.

Cost Efficiency: The long-term cost savings can be significant due to reduced maintenance, faster construction times, and adaptability to changing needs. Launching a new or refurbished operating room in 30-40%* less time, you will start earning revenues much earlier. Updates and replacement of modular construction elements will also be ca. 30%* cheaper.

Compliance with Regulations: ALVO Medical® modular OR solution is designed to meet regulatory requirements and standards for healthcare facilities, ensuring that the operating room complies with safety and infection control guidelines. Building your operating room out of ready-made, pre-fabricated and tested components in a controlled and quality-driven environment is similar to using Lego tiles. The risk of errors and delays is exponentially lower. With so many companies claiming to deliver turn-key solutions, make  sure you choose the best contractor to whom you will award your operating room construction project.

Enhanced Aesthetics: Modular wall systems can be designed to create a visually appealing and professional environment in the operating room, which can contribute to the overall comfort and well-being of both patients and staff. Did you know that ALVO Medical® was the first med-tech company to bring art into the operating theatre? Our technology park and modern machines enable large format of modular wall panels with graphic. These include: art pieces, photography or hospital’s own branding and visual identification. Graphic elements can be incorporated into steel or glass surfaces giving the room prestigious looks. Properly fitted colors can improve the patients’ and clinicians’ overall experience

Infection Control: Large format modular walls are designed to be easy to clean and maintain, reducing the risk of infection transmission. Smooth, non-porous surfaces minimize the collection of dust and pathogens, and they can often withstand rigorous cleaning and disinfection procedures. With ALVO Medical® modular OR solution you may get up to 30% shorter OR changeover time, because cleaning and disinfection processes are easier.

Noise Reduction: ALVO modular wall panels incorporate sound-absorbing materials, helping to reduce noise within the operating room. Lower noise levels can improve communication among the surgical team and create a more comfortable environment for patients and staff.

Improved Workflow: Modular OR infrastructure will optimize the layout of the operating room, ensuring that equipment and supplies are easily accessible to the surgical and anesthesia team. This can lead to more efficient workflows and shorter surgical times.

Integration of Technology: Modular walls accommodate built-in technology, such as cabinets, medical gas outlets, electrical outlets, video monitors and operating room management solutions like the ALVO®Integra**. Built-in elements and OR integration solutions simplify the setup of surgical equipment and enhance the functionality of the operating room.

It’s important to note that the specific advantages of modular walls may vary depending on the design and materials used (steel, powder-coated steel or glass). Healthcare facilities should carefully consider their unique needs and consult with experts in hospital design and construction to choose the most suitable modular wall solution for their operating rooms. Compliance with local building regulations is crucial when implementing modular wall systems in healthcare settings. How do you choose the best contractor for your surgery room?
