In traditional operating rooms, physicians and their staff often have to roll carts with heavy equipment and plug in devices while performing surgery. This is distracting, affects the productivity of the surgery team and, more importantly, creates patient safety risks. Surgical suites eliminate these problems and enhance patient care while reducing operational costs.

What Are Surgical Suites?

Surgical suites consist of technologies deployed in the operating room to provide surgical teams with an optimal work environment. Technologies used in surgical suites include voice-activated technology, two-way video linkage, touch-panel screens, and high-resolution displays with multiple split-screen capability for simultaneous monitoring. Surgical suites are designed with equipment mounted on the ceiling instead of on floor stands. This ergonomic design enhances safety by freeing up floor space and eliminating the need to move equipment or manipulate potentially hazardous wires on the floors.
