Integrated O.R.Integration
that powers care

Discover more

Facing growing data complexity, the integrated operating room provides an open, modular and scalable platform that adapts to any O.R. size, specialty or infrastructure. By bringing communication, integration, documentation and clinical data into one environment, teams can access the information they need before, during and after surgery.

Keep teams aligned
when it counts

When information is available exactly where it’s needed, teams stay aligned during critical moments. By bringing imaging, video and patient data into one integrated operating room, coordination becomes smoother, handoffs clearer and interruptions fewer—so clinical teams can stay focused on the patient instead of managing devices.

Adapt to the way
teams work

Every specialty works differently. An integrated operating room adapts to those differences by supporting flexible workflows across procedures and disciplines. Imaging, documentation and patient information are available in a shared environment, helping teams work consistently while maintaining the freedom to follow their established practices.

Reduce friction
in daily routines

When devices are easier to use and easier to manage, daily work becomes more predictable. A unified interface with consolidated tools and compatibility with third-party applications help reduce complexity for clinical and technical teams alike—supporting smoother workflows, simpler maintenance and less cognitive load across the O.R.

Unify surgical devices

An integrated operating room connects endoscopes, microscopes, scanners, cameras, robotic devices and navigation platforms through one centralized environment. Instead of relying on separate interfaces and manual connections, devices, video sources and applications can be routed flexibly to any display. Open system architecture also enables integration of third-party software, reducing fragmentation and supporting existing clinical workflows. With essential data and device control combined in one platform, teams gain a clear overview and can work more efficiently before, during and after surgery.

Integrate hospital data

Streamlined connectivity with HIS, PACS and VNA systems makes patient data available when needed and provides surgical schedules in advance. During procedures, new imaging, video and documentation are captured and stored securely, ensuring continuity and accessibility across the care pathway. Data transfer is managed efficiently within hospital networks, helping teams access relevant information at the right moment. By consolidating data management and reducing fragmented workflows, the integrated operating room allows staff to stay focused on patient care rather than technology.

Experience the next generation of O.R. integration

The new Buzz portfolio1 combines durable hardware with intelligent and intuitive software as your central hub for surgical information and control. Designed for speed, clarity and long-term performance, it helps teams stay focused on the patient—now and in the future.

Since we started using Brainlab products in our new integrated O.R.s, overall surgical time is down 15%. We simply load the plans preoperatively to the PACS and, through Brainlab Node, they are available in the operating room in seconds.²

Customer stories

Every hospital follows its own workflows and priorities—and their operating rooms should reflect that. Drawing on decades of experience across clinical workflows, regulatory settings and digital ecosystems, we collaborate with teams to create integrated O.R.s that align with their goals.

Here’s how hospitals around the world built their own solutions.

With 14 operating rooms spanning hybrid, cardiovascular, 3D, and general surgery, MST Enschede set out to reduce software interfaces and streamline daily workflows. O.R. Manager Thjis Schopman shares how the team modernized their environment with a focus on clarity, coordination and digital integration.2

With 32 operating rooms, including four hybrid suites, LMU Munich focused on creating a unified digital environment supported by streamlined IT integration. IT Systems Administrator Benjamin Haaske shares how the team built a cohesive, scalable digital O.R. infrastructure.2

Your customized integrated O.R.

Creating an integrated operating room that fits clinical, technical and organizational needs can be complex. With over 20 years of experience and more than 1,500 projects worldwide, the Brainlab planning team supports hospitals from concept to installation. Our modular, scalable approach adapts to any hospital size, environment or integration requirement, helping teams design a solution that aligns with surgical workflows, IT infrastructure and long-term operational goals.
