combination of the patient's weight and the mattress's heat can increase the risk
of burns. Trials comparing the efficacy of this method with forced-air warming
favored forced-air warming.

Forced-air warming
has been shown to prevent hypothermia across a vari-
ety of procedures, from abdominal cases to total joints. Forced-air warming cov-
erlets are disposable, so sterilization doesn't come into play. They're also light-
weight, making them easy to open and place over or under patients.
Individualized warming gowns provide warming comfort, but could impede
access to the surgical site and may have to be replaced with a different coverlet

overheating.

The innovative Operio Mobile is a clean air zone unit, which
produces a directed, non-turbulent ultra-clean air flow to
the surgical site during ophthalmic surgery and to the sterile
instruments used during surgery.
The Operio Mobile circulates ambient air through a HEPA
filter which prevents dangerous, airborne bacteria carrying
particles from coming into contact with the wound, as well
as surgical instruments near the wound. The Operio Mobile
