United Family Operating Center

We have a total of seven high-standard operating rooms, including two Class 100 laminar air flow suites, three Class 1,000 suites, and two Class 10,000 suites.

Operating Room 2 is a Class 100 laminar flow suite and serves as an integrated Hybrid Operating Suite. It is equipped with a mobile C-arm X-ray machine and a digital subtraction angiography (DSA) system. This room can handle simple endovascular treatments or routine external surgeries, as well as complex cardiac, neurological, and vascular interventional procedures under real-time modern imaging guidance. This allows for the effective coordination of multiple techniques, minimizing trauma and complications while optimizing holistic treatment outcomes.

Operating Room 3 is primarily used for orthopedic surgeries, while Operating Room 8 is dedicated to OB-GYN procedures. The remaining suites are primarily utilized for endoscopic and general surgeries.
