We offer solutions to protect operating room flooring in medical hospitals and facilities.
A highly specialized, sterile environment where surgical procedures are performed. Operating rooms are designed to support surgical teams while minimizing the risk of infection and maximizing patient safety and operational efficiency.
With the right flooring system, your operating rooms can maintain long-term performance, cleanliness, and compliance with healthcare standards—while providing a sterile, safe, and efficient workspace for surgical teams.
Key Functions:
Surgical Procedures
Their primary function is to provide a sterile, controlled environment for performing surgical operations safely and effectively.
Infection Control
Designed to minimize the risk of infection through strict air filtration, seamless surfaces, and sterile protocols. It requires easy-to-sanitize surfaces, including floors, walls, and equipment.
Life Support & Monitoring
Equipped with systems to monitor vital signs, anesthesia delivery, and emergency life support in real-time during surgery.
Sterile Supply Access
Must offer immediate access to sterile instruments and supplies, either via sterile storage cabinets or pass-through systems.
Integrated Technology
Incorporates surgical lighting, imaging systems, and digital tools for real-time data access and procedure support.
Patient Safety & Positioning
Includes specialized tables and positioning systems to support various surgical procedures without compromising patient safety.
Staff Workflow & Efficiency
Layout is optimized for fast, unobstructed movement of surgical teams and support staff.
Emergency Preparedness
Must be equipped for rapid response to surgical complications or emergencies, including backup power and medical gas systems.
Controlled Environment
Maintains specific temperature, humidity, and air pressure to ensure optimal conditions for patient care and infection prevention.
Flooring Requirements:
Seamless & Non-Porous Surface
No grout lines, cracks, or seams where contaminants can accumulate. This prevents harboring of bacteria, pathogens, and bodily fluids.
Chemical Resistance
Operating room flooring must withstand exposure to disinfectants, antiseptics, and surgical chemicals. Floors need to be resistant to harsh cleaners and staining from iodine or blood.
Antimicrobial Properties
Built-in antimicrobial protection preferred in healthcare-grade systems helps inhibit the growth of bacteria, mold, and fungi.
Slip Resistance
OR staff work in fast-paced environments that may involve fluids on the floor. A slip-resistant finish that still allows smooth movement of wheeled equipment is a must.
Electrostatic Dissipation (ESD)
Operating rooms often contain sensitive electronic equipment and flammable anesthesia gases. ESD flooring options may be required in specific surgical suites.
Durability Under Heavy Loads
Operating room flooring must withstand surgical tables, equipment carts, and rolling loads without denting or cracking. High compressive strength and abrasion resistance is recommended.
Hygienic Cove Base Integration
Integral cove base with a minimum height of 4”–6” creates a smooth transition between the floor and wall to eliminate dirt-trapping corners.
Easy Maintenance & Rapid Cleanability
A smooth, non-textured surface that is easy to mop and disinfect quickly helps clean thoroughly between procedures.
