Infection Control and Sterility Challenges in Multi-Use ORs
Maintaining sterility in hybrid ORs can be challenging due to the integration of both surgical and imaging equipment. The Hybrid Operating Room Market is driving innovation in infection control protocols and sterile design solutions.
Hybrid ORs must accommodate large imaging systems, which can complicate equipment draping and sterile field maintenance. Strategies to address these challenges include ceiling-mounted imaging arms, antimicrobial surfaces, and strict cleaning protocols between cases.
Staff training is equally important—ensuring seamless collaboration between surgical and radiology teams without compromising sterile barriers. Effective infection control directly impacts patient safety and the success rate of complex procedures.
