Technical panels in operating theatres

Technical panels are one of the essential devices in every operating theatre and critical area. And in recent years, advances in design and functionality have led to significant innovation in their use and finishes.

What are technical panels and what are they used for?

Technical panels are a fundamental part of every hospital’s medical equipment. Their ergonomic and customised design allows centralised control of the operating theatre status, as well as supplying electricity.

These equipment, adaptable to the needs of the operating room, have different sizes and a variety of control and communication accessories. 

Although Corian is the ideal material due to its high resistance to chemical products, easy cleaning and disinfection, they can be manufactured in different materials, always offering safety and reliability. 

In addition to its functionality, the high quality and customisable finishes give the wall recessed installation an optimal final result.

Why are they so innovative?

Their modernisation and customisation makes it possible to complete an optimal workplace design, adapting them to the structural conditions, use and individual work processes. 

They are compatible with technical equipment and save costs and time through their installation, durability, reliability and user-friendliness. And thanks to their easy-to-clean surface, infections are prevented. At the same time, the healing of patients is stimulated by promoting a pleasant and comfortable environment for both patients and staff. 

And ultimately, in addition to its excellent functionality, the hospital projects a modern and personalised image.

What models do we have at Tedisel?

At Tedisel Medical we specialise in the manufacture of medical equipment for hospitalisation, critical areas and operating theatres. 

Among our devices and medical equipment, the Q Panel and Diamond panels stand out.

Q Panel is the classic model, famous for its Corian surface and its flexibility in terms of size and integration of components. This model can incorporate a touch screen for Hermes, the digital brain that allows centralising all controls and obtaining data and analysis of the operating room or critical area.

Diamond is a glass control and display panel that stands out for its simplicity and technology. Diamond centralises all the visual elements needed in an operating theatre or critical area and is also compatible with Hermes software. 

One of the main features shared by our range of panels is that they are registrable, i.e. it is not necessary to close the whole operating theatre to perform any maintenance task on the panel. 

In addition, both Q Panel and Diamond allow customisation of panel sizes and finishes according to the hospital’s needs.

Why are they important in operating theatres and critical areas?

The combination of functionality and individual design marks the importance of technical panels in operating theatres and critical areas. 

We all know that planning a new hospital or renovating old units requires a perfectly organised planning process. Especially in critical areas and patient rooms.

More and more consideration is being given to the harmonious design of rooms where devices, materials and colours work in unison to create a stimulating environment for healing and, incidentally, to reduce the length of stay of patients. 

That makes all the difference, as does flexibility and functionality. Thanks to these, we can quickly adapt to changing situations or new contexts, as seen with the Covid.19 pandemic. 

This is why good, individualised design and maximum functionality & flexibility are essential for the hospital of today and the future, and one of the parts of the medical equipment that ensures this is the technical panels.
