Merivaara - Q-Flow Surgical Lights

One cause of contamination in hospitals is uncontrolled air flow in operating rooms. Traditional medical light heads cause air to rise in the operating area, which increases particle concentration and the patient’s burden of infection.

When Merivaara’s R&D started to design the Q-Flow surgical light, the starting point was how to reduce the risk of infection in operating rooms. The Q-Flow surgical light is designed so that the airflow travels optimally, the result of which ventilation works properly in the operating room. The Q-Flow surgical light has a turbulence intensity of only 15.9 % when the medical industry standard specifies it to be below 37.5 %. As the Q-Flow surgical light helps to keep the operating area clean from harmful smoke and gases, there is no additional particle burden created in the operating area which improves the working conditions of the entire surgical team. Merivaara’s Q-Flow surgical light has received several design awards and has also received a Design from Finland mark.
