SLD Technology

SLD Technology Providing the best air delivery performance in a modular contamination control system, allowing for fast, cost-effective installation. installed separately.

SLD Technology, LLC designs and manufactures systems and components that simplify design, speed installation and deliver superior performance in hospitals and other healthcare facilities. Common applications include modular ceiling systems for operating rooms (OR), procedure rooms, exam rooms and pharmacies requiring unidirectional, low turbulence (laminar) airflow for close temperature and humidi

ty control, and airborne contaminant removal. SLD Technology products are based around the concept of a Single Large Diffuser (SLD) delivering a contiguous blanket of laminar airflow to most effectively sweep airborne contaminants away from the surgical site, patient and providers in the OR. Our ability to incorporate integral lighting and structural equipment mounting elements in complete, factory-built modules that are installed as a single piece makes us unique versus suppliers providing Multiple Diffuser Array (MDA) systems built onsite using independent components (diffusers, lighting, structural supports, etc.)

Expanding surgical capacity within an active hospital is one of healthcare construction's greatest challenges.

At UW Medical Center's Montlake Campus, the Surgery Pavilion Expansion introduced two new operating rooms within an occupied facility—requiring extensive coordination, careful phasing, and seamless integration of critical building systems.

AirFRAME® played a key role in the project, providing a fully integrated modular ceiling system that combines unidirectional airflow, LED lighting, boom support, and structural support into a single factory-built assembly. By consolidating multiple overhead systems into one coordinated platform, AirFRAME simplifies installation, reduces field coordination, and helps create a high-performance surgical environment.

Designed to install in hours instead of days, AirFRAME supported the project's goals of minimizing disruption while delivering the technology, infrastructure, and flexibility required for today's advanced operating rooms.

A testament to what can be achieved when innovation, collaboration, and healthcare expertise come together.

Two CVORs at Tanner Health in Carrollton, GA are equipped with AirFRAME® featuring Visible Light Decontamination™ (VLD)—bringing together airflow, lighting, structural integration, and continuous environmental decontamination in a single coordinated system.

Using 405nm LED technology, VLD continuously reduces airborne contamination and automatically adjusts decontamination levels based on room occupancy. Because it's integrated directly into the AirFRAME system, healthcare teams benefit from continuous decontamination without additional ceiling space, workflow changes, or maintenance demands.

Over 15 years ago, SLD engineers didn’t just improve O.R. ceiling systems—they redefined what was possible with the first fully integrated design.

Since then, many have followed that lead. Today, SLD holds 24 patents with 14 more pending—and we’re not slowing down.

AirFRAME® remains the original and most trusted system on the market—and our next wave of innovation is already underway.

Project Spotlight | Abbotsford Regional Hospital and Cancer Centre in Abbotsford, British Columbia

Improving access to advanced, minimally invasive care close to home.

The newly modernized Interventional Radiology (IR) Suite at Regional Hospital and Cancer Centre represents a significant investment in patient care, expanding access to advanced imaging technology and procedures that are less invasive, more precise, and often result in improved patient outcomes.

This $6 million modernization project enhances the ability of clinical teams to diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions while helping patients remain closer to their support networks and reducing the need to travel outside the community for care.

Congratulations to the entire project team whose collaboration helped bring this important healthcare advancement to the Fraser Valley:

Fraser Health | West Architecture (PWA) | MEDITEK | Philips | Skytron | Stairlifts BV, a division of Savaria Corporation | SLD Technology

Projects like this demonstrate how thoughtful planning, innovative technology, and strong partnerships can expand access to specialized care and improve the patient experience for communities across the region.
