Operating Room – Frequently Asked Questions

What is a modular operating room?

A modular operating room is a prefabricated surgical environment constructed using integrated wall panels, ceilings, and medical systems designed for hygiene and efficiency.

Ventilation systems control airflow, filter out contaminants, and maintain sterile conditions during surgical procedures.

Operating room walls are typically constructed from antibacterial materials, such as stainless steel or medical-grade laminate panels.

Knauf Safeboard panels are specialized gypsum boards containing barium sulfate in their core, designed for use within X-ray protection systems. The wall configuration and the number of layers are determined based on the required level of protection and the technical calculations approved for the project.

Safeboard systems can be used to provide X-ray protection in specific applications, and may reduce or eliminate the need for lead within approved configurations. The choice depends on protection requirements and the system’s technical specifications.

The thickness and number of layers are determined based on the type of X-ray equipment, its operating characteristics, workload, the direction of the radiation beam, and the nature of the use of adjacent areas. The design must be based on calculations provided by a radiation protection specialist.

Radiation-shielding doors help complete the protective barrier at the entrance to a room. The door leaf, frame, and joints must comply with the lead equivalent and the level of protection specified in the design.

Yes, an observation window equipped with X-ray-shielding glass can be used, provided the room design allows for it. The glass and frame are selected based on the required level of protection, as well as the dimensions and location of the window.

Joints, connections, and utility penetrations can compromise the continuity of a protective barrier if they are not addressed in accordance with approved technical specifications. Therefore, the integration of walls, doors, windows, and all points of intersection must be coordinated within a unified design.

Dar Libya provides solutions for outfitting radiology rooms, including protective wall systems using Knauf Safeboard, lead-lined doors, and radiation-shielding observation windows, in accordance with the project’s scope of work and specifications. You may contact the team to discuss floor plans, outfitting requirements, and technical coordination.
