An uncluttered aesthetic that creates
a sense of space and modernity, the
popularity of minimalist design shows no
signs of diminishing. At MAT, we believe
that these principles can be applied very
successfully to operating theatre design,
creating a truly modern environment for
the outstanding surgery performed in our
hospitals.
MAT is known globally for its ultraclean
ventilation (UCV) operating theatre
canopies, an essential part of any UK
operating theatre. The UCV system uses
laminar airflow to transform the area
around the patient and surgical team into
an airborne pathogen-free environment
or “clean zone”, dramatically reducing the
risk of dangerous and costly surgical site
infections.
The Modern Operating Theatre – a
technology-fuelled sleek surgical
environment
Huge advances in medical technology
have extended the possibilities of
what can be achieved within the sterile
environment. New designs are needed
to accommodate new expectations:
integrated theatres now feature an array
of technology connecting the theatre
environment, while a hybrid theatre is
equipped with advanced medical imaging
devices such as fixed C-Arms, CT scanners
or MRI scanners. To accommodate this
additional equipment, theatres need to
be as uncluttered as possible, with clear
space at ceiling level for pendants to move
in and out of the clean zone. medical technology business to create the
DYNAMIC™ which, in addition to enhanced
design and outstanding functionality,
employs MAT’s unique
ECO-flow™ technology for unequalled
energy efficiency in a canopy of this type.
The DYNAMIC™ UCV Canopy Sleeker, more versatile, more energy
efficient, the DYNAMIC™ is the UK’s most
flexible, high concept, screenless UCV
canopy, uniting modern design values with
outstanding functionality for enhanced
patient care.
In standard UCV canopies, the airflow
is directionally guided by glazed partial
screens around the canopy perimeter.
However, in response to changing theatre
demands, MAT has launched the
ECO-flow™ DYNAMIC™ screenless UCV
system. In the DYNAMIC™, the glazed
partial screens of the conventional canopy
have been replaced with a uni-directional
controlled airstream, generated at the
boundary of the clean zone and fitting
flush with the underside of the canopy at
ceiling level, creating a sleek, elegant unit
that integrates seamlessly with the ceiling
structure.
Engineering for the 21st Century
Despite its focus on simplicity, minimalism
requires a lot of effort and knowledge
of structures and mechanics to create a
clean and mess free design, where spaces
are predictable, uncomplicated and
uncluttered. To achieve this, MAT brought
together some of the best engineers in the
