With minimized maintenance costs compared to drywall and other conventional building materials, MEDglas Walls do not dent or show signs of aging or yellowing and are more scratch-resistant than other building materials.
Ambient LED lighting integrated into the prefabricated wall system helps support the workflow of the healing environment with a variety of color options for different clinical situations. STERIS MEDglas Prefabricated OR Walls are high quality, factory built and come ready to install. The modular, prefabricated walls are designed for an installation that takes days, not weeks. MEDglas OR Walls are fully recyclable, creating a zero-waste solution for your facility.
The modular glass system is built specifically for the rigorous OR environment and to withstand even a 9.2 magnitude earthquake. The specially tempered security glass is also non-combustible, non-flammable, and easy for terminal cleaning of the OR with most disinfecting agents. Resistant to most acids and alkalis, only aggressive acids like hydrofluoric acid are able to damage MEDglas.
