Avidicare Welcomes CESI/LSM as New U.S. Distributor for Opragon

At Avidicare, our mission is to transform operating-room safety through innovative, evidence-based ventilation technology. Today, we are proud to announce an important step forward in that mission: CESI (Coward Environmental Systems Inc.) and sister-company LSM (Life Science Modular) is now distributor of Opragon in the United States.

Strengthening Our Presence in the U.S. Market

CESI and LSM have decades of experience delivering high-performance HVAC solutions to healthcare facilities across the country. Their deep technical expertise and strong customer relationships make them an ideal partner to help integrate and support Opragon’s patented Temperature-controlled AirFlow (TcAF) technology to hospital projects centered around Philadelphia and along the Northeast corridor between Washington D.C. towards New York City.

“What makes Opragon unique is the way it combines mixed ventilation at the room’s periphery with unidirectional flow in the center. This creates a consistently clean environment across the entire operating room, not just at the surgical table. Hospitals gain flexibility and robust protection that older systems simply can’t provide.”
– Kevin Clare, Vise President at LSM

With CESI/LSM representing Opragon, hospitals and surgical centers can now expect expanded access to:

Expert system design and project support
Regional sales and consultation
Installation guidance and long-term service
A trusted partner already well known in American healthcare environments

Bringing TcAF Technology to More Operating Rooms

Opragon is the only OR ventilation system in the world that uses TcAF to create a stable, ultra-clean environment throughout the entire operating room. As U.S. hospitals continue to focus on reducing SSIs, optimizing energy efficiency, and improving staff comfort, Opragon offers a unique, scientifically validated solution. It is already used for more than 15 years in some 400 installations, mostly in northern Europe.

Our collaboration with CESI/LSM allows more facilities to experience:

Ultra-clean air in the entire OR — not just above the patient
Improved comfort for surgical teams
Lower energy use compared to traditional systems
Flexibility for both new construction and retrofits
Opportunity for substantial cost savings from lower risk of infections

A Shared Commitment to Safer Surgery

We are excited to work alongside CESI/LSM to support U.S. healthcare systems in raising the standard for surgical environments. Their proven history in critical-environment solutions aligns with our vision for safer, more sustainable operating rooms.

Together, we are ready to help more hospitals benefit from the performance and reliability of Opragon.
