Unbeatable infection control and versatility in operating rooms design
The digitization of operating rooms is evolving rapidly around the world, radically transforming the way the surgical environment is conceived and managed. Not long ago, surgeons faced significant constraints: poor planning, communication breakdowns, lack of technology, and spaces that were dysfunctional, cold, and poorly humanized. These conditions directly impacted the quality of medical care. Today, thanks to technological advances, it is possible to create environments that are more efficient, safer and adapted to both the needs of the medical team and the well-being of the patient.
Today, the incorporation of new technologies is revolutionizing the surgical environment globally. Digitization and modernization of operating room design not only optimize clinical processes, but also significantly improve medical outcomes and operational efficiency.
Factors such as the shortage of healthcare professionals, the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic or even recent situations – such as the power outage that affected the entire Iberian Peninsula at the end of April – have highlighted the urgent need for more resilient, efficient and technologically advanced surgical systems.
Against this backdrop, adopting innovative solutions has become essential. The implementation of technologies such as our technical panels – designed specifically for surgical environments – enables medical personnel to work more safely, efficiently and hygienically, even in critical situations. These solutions not only improve productivity and accuracy, but also ensure uninterrupted operational continuity.
Versatility and Customization at the Heart of the Operating Room
The Q PANEL has been designed to centralize all controls, displays and essential elements within the OR. Available in touch screen or conventional versions, it offers full compatibility with PACS, nurse stations and control software, HERMES.
Manufactured in high quality Solid Surface, the Q PANEL adapts precisely to different sizes, configurations and technical requirements, allowing full customization according to the specific needs of each surgical project.
Our flagship model stands out for its Corian® surface, recognized for its resistance, ease of cleaning and warm aesthetics. In addition, the QPANEL has been designed with a modular approach that allows the integration of a wide variety of components according to the required configurations, such as high quality Full HD and 4K monitor units, power outlets, surgical clocks, timers, nursing stations, among others.
Main benefits of choosing QPANEL
Workflow optimization
The modular and flexible design of the QPANEL is one of the most significant aspects of our product. This approach makes it possible to maintain a continuous workflow in the OR, avoiding unnecessary interruptions that can affect the throughput and quality of medical care. In the event of a breakdown, unlike other systems on the market, the QPANEL allows repairing only the affected section, without the need to completely stop operations. This ability to perform quick, localized repairs not only minimizes downtime, but also ensures that the OR continues to operate efficiently.
Many brands on the market do not offer such flexible solutions, which means that a breakdown in any part of the system can cause prolonged downtime for the entire surgical unit. In contrast, our design with quick-opening doors facilitates easy access to every component, ensuring full functionality without compromising the operability of the OR. This advantage is crucial for hospitals and clinics that cannot afford prolonged downtime, especially in high-demand environments.
The ability to maintain uninterrupted workflow and efficient repair is a strength of QPANEL, making our product a superior choice compared to other solutions on the market.
High-tech monitors
The QPANEL‘s integrated monitors are specifically designed to withstand the extreme conditions of the operating room, withstanding both high temperatures and the constant flow of activities in a high-demand environment. Thanks to their advanced technology, they always deliver sharp, glare-free images in Full HD and 4K, enabling accurate real-time visualization during critical surgical procedures.
This level of visual accuracy is crucial for making sound surgical decisions. Even the slightest error in image interpretation could jeopardize patient safety. That is why high-resolution, touch-sensitive displays that not only provide clear and detailed images, but are also optimized to maintain a constant, distortion-free display, are essential in the surgical environment. Reliability and image quality are key factors in ensuring the safety and success of every procedure.
What differentiates QPANEL from other products on the market is the integration of these monitors within a structure designed to offer additional protection while maintaining functionality, even in the most demanding operating rooms. This is a significant differential point, since in the operating room, image quality and visual accuracy are aspects that cannot be compromised. The ability to see in detail and without distortion is key to the correct execution of any procedure, which makes QPANEL an irreplaceable solution for hospitals and clinics that prioritize safety and efficiency in their operations.
The Ultimate Solution for Surgical Spaces
Corian® Solid Surface is the material of choice for the fabrication of our technical panels, standing out as the ideal choice due to its multiple advantages, which include:
- Non-porous surface: Resists the accumulation of bacteria and fungi, facilitating disinfection.
- Stain resistance: Withstands substances such as blood or iodine dye without deterioration.
- Ease of cleaning and repair: Minor scratches or damage can be cleaned or repaired in situ, without the need to replace complete parts.
- Safe and inert material: Non-toxic, no outgassing under normal conditions.
- Thermoformable and aesthetically superior: Allows for customized designs and a seamless finish.
