Avidicare

What Avidicare does

Avidicare AB is a Swedish medtech company founded in 2000 (originally spun off from Airsonett AB and renamed Avidicare in 2013), headquartered in Lund, Sweden. The company develops the Opragon operating room ventilation system, built around its patented Temperature-controlled AirFlow (TcAF) technology. TcAF produces a downward, cooled, HEPA-filtered airflow that establishes an ultraclean zone directly above the surgical site, addressing airborne bacterial contamination in operating rooms. The portfolio has been extended with the Opragon In-a-Box variant, the Opragon for Isolation Rooms configuration, and Opragon Online, a cloud-based performance monitoring platform built on Microsoft Azure. Avidicare is ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified and has installed more than 400 Opragon systems globally.

Avidicare sells capital equipment directly and through distribution partners to hospitals and surgical centers across Europe, Asia, and (most recently) North America, where a Rochester, NY headquarters was opened in 2023 supported by US distribution agreements with Stark Tech (Jan 2024) and CESI/LSM (Dec 2025). Revenue is generated through unit sales, multi-year service and maintenance contracts, scheduled HEPA filter replacement, and the Opragon Online digital monitoring subscription, producing a mix of upfront and recurring income anchored to the installed base. The company is privately held with institutional investors including Industrifonden and Almi Invest represented on its board.

Core offering

Avidicare designs, manufactures and sells the Opragon family of ultra-clean ventilation systems for operating rooms, hybrid theaters, isolation rooms, laboratories, central sterile supply departments, intensive care units and pharmacies, based on its patented Temperature-controlled AirFlow (TcAF) technology. The company also provides installation and project services, lifecycle maintenance (HEPA filter and airshower replacement, validation) and the Opragon Online cloud-based monitoring subscription built on Microsoft Azure.

Product overview

Avidicare offers the Opragon ultra-clean ventilation system as its core product line, based on patented Temperature-controlled AirFlow (TcAF) technology. The Opragon system uses gravity-driven downward airflow to maintain ultra-clean conditions throughout entire operating rooms, not just above the surgical table. The product portfolio includes multiple variants: Opragon 8 for standard ORs, Opragon 4 for smaller rooms, Opragon 5/6 for mid-size rooms, Opragon 21 for large/hybrid ORs, Opragon hybrid for imaging-integrated theaters, Opragon In-a-Box for modular/quick installations, and Opragon Isolation Room for patient isolation applications. The system operates in flexible modes from full ultra-clean to energy-saving set-back configurations, using 30-60% less energy than conventional laminar airflow. Supporting the hardware is Opragon Online, a cloud-based digital monitoring service that enables surgical staff to track infection prevention parameters, view room status, manage alarms, and generate reports.

Brands

• Opragon: Ultra-clean ventilation system for operating rooms using Temperature-controlled AirFlow (TcAF) technology. Available in multiple variants including Opragon 4, 5, 6, 8, 21, and Opragon In-a-Box.

Products and services

• Opragon 8 Standard-sized Opragon ultra-clean ventilation unit with 8 airshowers for typical operating rooms. Uses patented TcAF gravity-driven airflow to maintain CFU/m³ below 10 throughout the room and below 1 in the wound zone while consuming 30–60% less energy than traditional laminar airflow systems.
• Opragon 4 Compact Opragon variant designed for smaller operating rooms and procedure rooms, delivering the same TcAF ultra-clean airflow performance in a reduced footprint for healthcare facilities with space-constrained surgical environments.
• Opragon 5 and 6 Mid-size Opragon variants (5 and 6 airshowers) engineered for medium-sized operating rooms, providing ultra-clean TcAF ventilation with two-zone temperature control for surgical teams.
• Opragon 21 Large Opragon unit with 21 airshowers designed for larger operating rooms and hybrid theaters, enabling ultra-clean airflow around combined surgical and advanced imaging environments.
• Opragon hybrid Opragon variant specifically engineered for hybrid operating rooms combining surgery with advanced imaging systems (e.g., Philips Azurion Flexarm), maintaining ultra-clean conditions across the entire hybrid workspace.
• Opragon In-a-Box Modular, compact Opragon system designed for rapid installation in existing rooms or smaller facilities, delivering ultra-clean TcAF airflow for surgical and procedural environments without requiring a full OR build-out.
• Opragon Isolation Room Opragon variant for isolation rooms supporting both negative-pressure configurations for infectious patients and positive-pressure configurations for immunocompromised patients, providing flexible, energy-efficient isolation ventilation.
• Opragon Online Cloud-based monitoring and management platform for Opragon systems that lets surgical staff track infection-prevention parameters (four temperatures, two airflows, plus optional presence, pressure, humidity and door-opening sensors), view real-time status, receive alarms and generate reports. Hosted on Microsoft Azure with customer-owned data.
• Opragon Services Comprehensive lifecycle service solutions for Opragon customers including design support, installation guidance, free design solution consultation, validation measurements, HEPA filter replacement (every 5–7 years), airshower replacement (every 3–5 years), and Functional Guarantee service levels delivered through trusted regional HVAC partners.
