OT Laminar Air Flow System

Laminar air flow is referred to as a system that provides continuous air flow that is uniform in both direction and velocity. Laminar air flow cabinets facilitate unidirectional air flow in a confined space.Laminar flow ventilation comprises a continuous flow of highly filtered ultraclean air (UCA) of less than 10 colony-forming units per metre cubed (cfu/m3) of bacteria. This is re-circulated under positive pressure into the operating theatre with surgically generated contaminants being continuously removed [3].laminar flow, also called streamline flow, type of fluid (gas or liquid) flow in which the fluid travels smoothly or in regular paths, in contrast to turbulent flow, in which the fluid undergoes irregular fluctuations and mixing.
