Merivaara – a provider of solutions for operating rooms and perioperative care
Merivaara is a leading supplier of technologies for operating rooms, perioperative logistics, and hospital operations. The portfolio includes operating tables, surgical lights, integration and AV systems for operating room control, and a wide range of accessories, including suspension arms and monitors. The product line is designed with an emphasis on ergonomics, intuitive control, and seamless workflow for the surgical team.
In the operating table segment, the key product is the Smarter Practico series, designed for extensive positioning options and easy operation. The design focuses on a seamless workflow and supports a wide range of procedures from orthopedics to ENT and urology; a Practico Manual variant with a load capacity of up to 400 kg is also available.
Q-Flow surgical lights are designed to minimize disruption to laminar airflow in the operating room; the reported turbulence intensity of 15.9% is significantly below the industry limit of 37.5%. The Q-Flow family is complemented by smaller lights for examination rooms and minor procedures.
For digital operating room management, the manufacturer offers the OpenOR system—an open integration and AV platform for managing equipment, video, and data, featuring expandable functionality and a localized, intuitive interface. The goal is rapid operating room setup, streamlined team workflow, and low display latency.
Perioperative logistics are complemented by Emergo transport carts designed for patient transport, emergency rooms, recovery rooms, and ICUs. The modular design allows for multiple configurations and high-volume operation; these solutions are used by hospitals in Europe and beyond.
The technology is designed with an emphasis on durability, easy decontamination, and standardized accessories (extensions, armrests, safety bars, gel pads). Thanks to the combination of ergonomic tables, lights with optimized airflow, and the OpenOR integration layer, setup times can be reduced, image quality improved, and safety in the operating room enhanced.
For healthcare providers who need a comprehensive approach to modernizing operating rooms—from tables and lights to AV integration and patient transport—this brand serves as a complete partner with proven solutions and support in clinical operations.
