Modular General Surgery Operating Room
- Unlike specialized ORs, general surgery rooms must balance flexibility, efficiency, and strict infection control in a single space.
- Our modular general surgery ORs are engineered for complex procedures, efficiency, infection control and seamless surgical workflow.
- Multi-procedure compatibility
- Optimized staff & patient workflow
- Efficient clean & dirty flow separation
- Strict infection control
- Durable, easy-to-clean hygienic materials

Challenges in General Surgery OR Design
A general surgery operating room is used for a wide range of open and minimally invasive procedures, such as:
- Abdominal surgeries
- Hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgeries
- Hernia repairs
- Emergency procedures
A well-designed general surgery OR has the following core characteristics:
- Diverse surgical types → The space must be highly adaptable.
- Variable operation time → Requires optimized comfort and efficiency.
- Frequent movement of staff and equipment → Strict requirements for layout and workflow.
- High infection risk → Strict requirements for cleanliness levels.
Our Modular Solution for General Surgery OR

Modular General Surgery OR Project
1. Project Overview
- A hospital in Changsha built a new general surgery outpatient operating room in a newly constructed facility.
- Thanks to the advantages of the new building structure and efficient project coordination, the project progressed smoothly from design to installation and commissioning.
- Through standardized construction management and close cooperation among all parties, the project was completed and delivered on schedule, providing the hospital with a high-standard clean operating room environment.
2. Project Requirements
- The hospital required a modern outpatient operating room system that could:
- Meet cleanroom standards from ISO 8 to ISO 5
- Maintain stable temperature, humidity, and air cleanliness
- Provide fresh and comfortable indoor air
- Ensure safe, convenient, and intelligent operation
- Create a warm environment to reduce patient anxiety
- Use durable and easy-to-clean materials
- Achieve high construction quality and efficient delivery
3. Our Solution
- Cleanroom HVAC System
- The air supply and return systems used galvanized steel ducts with good air tightness and durability. HEPA filters and supply air diffusers helped the operating rooms achieve ISO 8 to ISO 5 cleanliness levels while maintaining constant temperature and humidity.
- Activated carbon units were also added to the ventilation system to remove odors and improve indoor air quality.
- Intelligent Control & Safety Design
- The operating rooms were equipped with LCD six-function controllers supporting both Chinese and English interfaces for easy operation.
- Automatic sensor doors with dual-sided foot sensors improved convenience and efficiency, while infrared anti-pinch protection enhanced safety for staff and patients.
- Interior & Material Design
- The interior used a soft beige color scheme to create a warm and calming atmosphere.
- The flooring adopted 2mm homogeneous medical-grade vinyl flooring, which is durable, stain-resistant, easy to clean, and well-matched with the overall interior design.
FAQs
How is a general surgery OR different from a specialized OR?
It is designed for versatility, supporting multiple surgical types rather than being optimized for one specific specialty.
What types of procedures are performed in a general surgery operating room?
General surgery ORs support a wide range of procedures, including abdominal, gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary, hernia repair, and emergency surgeries, requiring high flexibility in design.
How is infection control managed in a general surgery OR?
Infection control is achieved through zoning (clean, semi-contaminated, contaminated areas), positive pressure systems, and strict separation of clean and dirty flows.
Why is workflow design important in a general surgery operating room?
Efficient workflow reduces cross-contamination risks, improves surgical efficiency, and ensures smooth movement of staff, patients, and instruments.
How does modular design improve infection control?
Through seamless surfaces, fewer joints, and integrated structures that reduce contamination risks.
Can equipment be integrated into modular walls?
Yes, cabinets, panels, and interfaces can be embedded seamlessly.
What built-in components are typically included?
Instrument cabinets, medicine cabinets, control panels, and lighting systems.
Are gas pipelines and electrical systems pre-integrated?
Yes, they can be pre-designed and integrated within the modular system.
Can your modular general surgery ORs meet different country standards?
Yes, designs can be adapted to ISO cleanroom standards, hospital regulations, and local regulations.
