New ISO 5 operating theatres for Policlinico San Giorgio in Pordenone

At the Policlinico San Giorgio in Pordenone, one of the leading private healthcare facilities in Friuli Venezia Giulia, Operamed created two new operating theatres as part of a wider expansion and renovation of the surgical block.

The overall project involves the creation of five ISO 5 operating theatres for general surgery and orthopaedics, with a particular focus on orthopaedic procedures, including hip and knee replacement surgery. Within this context, Operamed was responsible for the construction design, production and installation of the two operating theatres within its scope, coordinating every phase of the implementation process.

The operating theatres were built using the TrueSpace prefabricated construction system, with Corian walls and printed glass graphic walls, selected to characterize the spaces through images inspired by Van Gogh’s paintings. The preparation room was instead made with HPL solutions, designed to ensure aesthetic continuity, functionality and resistance in the support areas.

To support room management, the operating theatres integrate the Operamed touch panel, which enables centralized control of the main room functions, and the Nicfa AirFlow Ultra air filtration system, designed to support the control of air quality and environmental parameters inside the operating theatre.

One of the main technical challenges of the intervention was the very limited distance between the raw ceiling and the finished ceiling. This required careful construction design and precise coordination between the prefabricated system, MEP systems and technical equipment. The distinctive feature of the project therefore lies in the ability to synchronize timing, works and technical constraints, ensuring continuity and control throughout every phase of the 5-month implementation period.

Alongside the technical component, the project also enhances the theme of humanizing healthcare spaces. The rooms are characterized by bright surfaces, chromatic accents and printed glass walls featuring images inspired by Van Gogh’s paintings. The preparation room also contributes to this perceptual experience through a backlit ceiling element with a sublimation effect, designed to make the spaces more welcoming and recognizable.

The result is a technical, coordinated and high-value project, where the construction system, environmental control, integrated room management and perceptual quality of the spaces come together to create functional, advanced surgical environments that feel closer to people.
