The Science of ComfortTM
Healthcare-associated infections remain a persistent challenge, with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimating that 1 in 31 US patients acquired at least one infection during care in 2024. This reality underscores the critical role of environmental control – particularly room pressurization – in safeguarding both patients and healthcare staff.

What if you could move through a fully functioning operating room and explore how it goes above and beyond current air distribution minimums without ever stepping foot in a hospital?
Now you can.

Creating high-performing, well-ventilated spaces is essential in critical environments such as hospital operating rooms, patient rooms and other medical spaces. Indoor air quality directly affects occupants’ well-being and productivity and, in the case of pharmaceutical compounding, for instance, can have a profound impact on processes that occur in the space.

Integrated operating room ceiling systems consolidate multiple services in a single system to streamline supply, installation and on-site coordination. Price Industries’ Ultrasuite® system (pat. 10,401,049) combines hospital-grade LED lighting with precision-equalized laminar airflow diffusers to eliminate the traditional “light ring” and open valuable ceiling space for surgical equipment – all while mitigating contamination in the surgical zone.
