It’s all in the cube

The SurgiCube provides a localized, optimally filtered, ultra clean surgical environment to carry out ophthalmic procedures. Supply ultra clean air where you need it: around the operating surface. That is what the SurgiCube does. The ultra clean air flow is blown directly on to the operating surface, using laminar down flow technique. The surgical team can move around freely without adversely affecting the sterile field. All possible sources of contamination are sidelined.

An alternative to the operating room

It takes a lot of time and effort to prepare an operating room. Many hospitals and clinics often perform minor and relatively simple surgeries in a general operating room.

Fortunately, the SurgiCube allows us to change this now! This flexible operating unit offers a localized ultra clean environment and its own simple logistics. Preparation time for surgery in a SurgiCube is much less than in a conventional operating room, which has a beneficial impact on planning and efficiency. The SurgiCube is the perfect, alternative treatment environment for many ophthtalmic procedures.

Specifically for ophthalmic procedures

The SurgiCube was specifically designed and developed for ophthalmic surgery. As such it has been used with success in many ophthalmic procedure rooms.

Technical specifications

The SurgiCube is an FDA cleared medical device that provides a localized, optimally filtered, ultraclean environment for ophthalmic procedures.

The SurgiCube is a modular system which can be assembled and placed easily. The SurgiCube is 94 inches high and available in various widths, which makes the SurgiCube suitable for many applications.

The narrowest SurgiCube, is 102 inches wide and has an ultraclean working area of 71 inches. The widest SurgiCube is 150 inches wide and has an ultraclean working area of 87 inches wide. This size SurgiCube offers room for an additional assistant which makes it also suitable for training purposes. Additional information about SurgiCube applications will be sent upon request.

When it comes to ‘clean air’, the SurgiCube offers various advantages:

• The SurgiCube supplies an ongoing, effective laminar flow across the operating surface and the instrument table(s).
• As the outlet is situated directly above the operating surface, the unidirectional airflow is not disrupted by obstacles
• As the flow does not pass obstacles such as the surgical microscope and the head-neck area of the operating surgeon, the air source does not pass potential contamination sources: the air goes ‘from clean to dirty’.
• The patient him-/herself, the most important contamination source, finds him-/herself, in a microbiological sense, ‘outside’ the operating surface.
• Field measurements have shown that the air flow across the operating surface in the SurgiCube is ultra clean and the number of Colony Forming Units per m3 falls well below the threshold level.
