Beautiful, strong, and ultra-durable, this specially tempered security glass provides the foundation of an Operating Room (OR) that is customizable from the start and can be adapted over time. With a virtually limitless range of Operating Room wall finishes including colors, patterns, and images as well as lighting options, these modular glass walls for the OR provide a long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing combination of a hospital healing environment and functional workspace to support the wellbeing of both patients and clinicians.
MEDglas OR Walls are built specifically for the rigorous OR environment and can withstand even a 9.2 earthquake. Easy for terminal cleaning of the OR, it can handle most disinfecting agents. Only aggressive acids like hydrofluoric acid are able to damage MEDglas. 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 is more scratch-resistant than other building materials. The specially tempered security glass is also non-combustible, nonflammable, and resistant to most acids and alkalis.
With integrated ambient LED lighting, MEDglas OR Walls support the workflow of the healing environment and the circadian rhythms of the OR staff. The special light band integrated into the prefabricated wall system features a variety of color options to suit each clinical situation including stimulating yellow, calming blue, and even a daylight option designed to simulate the light spectrum of the sun depending on the time of day.
STERIS MEDglas Prefabricated OR Walls are high quality, factory built and come to you ready to install. The modular, prefabricated walls are designed for an installation that takes days, not weeks. Fully recyclable, it contributes to a zero-waste solution.

Recommended cleaning procedure
How strong are MEDglas OR Walls?
MEDglas is constructed of specially tempered and toughened 10 mm security glass. It can withstand force of up to a 9.2 earthquake.
Once you choose the design, can it be changed?
The panels are easily accessible and can be modified to accommodate new equipment or new aesthetic designs if your needs change.
How does MEDglas minimize maintenance costs?
Unlike drywall that requires frequent repairs, MEDglas is also ultra-durable. It does not dent or show signs of aging or yellowing. It's also noncombustible, nonflammable, and resistant to most acids and alkalis.
How does MEDglas support infection prevention efforts?
Install MEDglas on a framework or over an existing wall. Its smooth surface does not harbor dust or dirt. Modular, it can be completely sealed, eliminating the nooks and crannies that can be hard to clean and disinfect.
