Nova Médica Operating Room Door Project in Veracruz, Mexico
OSIDEK recently supplied a customized operating room door package for Nova Médica, a healthcare project located in Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz, Mexico. The project involved a two-operating-room surgical area, including a C-arm related operating room that required radiation protection, as well as multiple automatic hermetic sliding doors for clean surgical access.
The order included automatic sliding lead-lined doors and automatic hermetic sliding doors, all customized according to the client’s specified door opening dimensions, installation conditions, color requirements, operation direction, and accessory configuration. After production and pre-shipment quality checks, the products have now been shipped to Veracruz, Mexico under CIF delivery terms.
Unlike some projects where certification documents are the main concern during the inquiry stage, this client focused heavily on visible product quality. During communication, the customer requested many real photos and videos of our products, production details, structure, accessories, and operating performance. Every video shared through WhatsApp was carefully reviewed, making visual quality verification an important part of the final purchasing decision.
This case demonstrates how OSIDEK supports international hospital construction projects with customized manufacturing, detailed communication, and reliable operating room door solutions for demanding medical environments.
Project Overview
Operating room door projects require more than simple opening-and-closing performance. For a hospital surgical area, each door must be designed around actual clinical use, wall conditions, access flow, safety requirements, and long-term operational stability.
For the Nova Médica project, the challenge came from three main aspects.
First, the project involved two operating rooms and multiple door openings, each with different sizes and installation directions. The doors had to be manufactured according to the customer’s confirmed opening dimensions, rather than using standard stock sizes. Any dimensional error could affect installation, sealing performance, or later site coordination.
Second, one part of the surgical area required radiation protection for C-arm use. Compared with ordinary operating room doors, lead-lined doors require additional attention to lead sheet thickness, lead glass configuration, viewing window layout, door weight, motor performance, and safety control. The door must provide radiation shielding while still maintaining smooth automatic sliding operation.
Third, the client was purchasing from overseas and could not inspect the products in person before ordering. Because of this, the customer placed strong emphasis on real product evidence. They asked for many photos and videos before confirming the order, including product appearance, details, accessories, and operating demonstrations. This meant our team had to provide clear, patient, and transparent communication throughout the inquiry and confirmation process.
For OSIDEK, the key task was not only to quote the products, but also to help the client clearly understand what they were buying, how the doors would be configured, and how the final products would match the hospital’s surgical room requirements.
Quality Verification Before Order Confirmation
One of the most important parts of this project was the customer’s decision-making process.
During the inquiry stage, the Nova Médica customer did not simply ask for a basic quotation. Instead, they carefully evaluated the visible quality of OSIDEK’s products. The customer requested many product photos and videos, and every video sent through WhatsApp was reviewed.
This communication process covered several practical details:
the appearance of the automatic sliding doors, the surface finish of the door panels, the structure of the lead-lined door, the viewing window configuration, the motor and track system, the stainless steel waist strip, the safety sensor arrangement, the operating indicator light, and the general manufacturing quality before shipment.
For an overseas hospital construction project, this type of visual confirmation is very important. It helps the customer reduce uncertainty before payment, especially when the products are customized and cannot be replaced by standard local stock.
The final order was confirmed based on a combination of factors: product quality, project-specific customization, complete accessory configuration, communication efficiency, and the customer’s confidence after reviewing real photos and videos.
The Solution
Based on the customer’s order requirements, OSIDEK supplied a customized package of automatic sliding doors for the Nova Médica operating room project.
The scope included two automatic sliding lead-lined doors for the radiation protection requirement and five automatic hermetic sliding doors for operating room and clean-area access, including one supplemental hermetic door confirmed after the main order.
All doors were customized in 002 ivory white, suitable for a clean and professional hospital interior. The doors were designed for brick wall installation, with door leaf sizes matched to the actual opening dimensions provided by the customer.
Automatic Sliding Lead-Lined Doors
For the radiation protection requirement, OSIDEK supplied two electric sliding lead-lined doors. Each door was configured with 3 mm lead sheet and a 15 mm lead glass viewing window, 400 × 600 mm, installed horizontally according to the order specification.
The lead-lined door package included the electric motor, guide rail, cover, foot sensor, switch, anti-pinch protection device, stainless steel strip, external handle, hardware accessories, limit switch, operating indicator light, and radiation warning sign.
Automatic Hermetic Sliding Doors
The project also included automatic hermetic sliding doors for the operating room area. These doors were designed to support clean-area access control, convenient hands-free operation, and safe passage for medical staff, patients, and surgical equipment.
The hermetic door package included the electric motor, track, cover, foot switch, stainless steel waist strip, aluminum alloy decorative strip, anti-pinch sensors, external handle, operating indicator light, and horizontal observation window.
Core Project Advantages
1. Customized Door Configuration for a Real Hospital Project
-
Every door in this project was produced according to the customer’s confirmed opening size and installation direction. The order covered both large and narrow openings, including a 2050 mm wide lead-lined door opening, a 1780 mm wide hermetic door opening, and several 950–1500 mm operating room access openings.
This shows the importance of project-based manufacturing for hospital door systems. Instead of supplying one standard model, OSIDEK adjusted the door leaf dimensions, opening direction, window layout, and accessory package according to the actual construction requirements.
2. Radiation Protection Solution for C-Arm Surgical Use
-
The project included two automatic sliding lead-lined doors with 3 mm lead sheet and 15 mm lead glass viewing windows. This configuration was specified for the project’s radiation protection requirement.
For C-arm related environments, the door must support radiation shielding while also allowing practical clinical access. The 400 × 600 mm lead glass viewing window provides visibility while maintaining the protective function of the door structure.
3. Automatic Hermetic Sliding Doors for Operating Room Access
-
The automatic hermetic sliding doors were supplied with foot switches, anti-pinch sensors, operating indicator lights, stainless steel waist strips, and observation windows. These details make the doors more suitable for operating room use, where hands-free access, staff efficiency, and safe movement are important.
The hermetic sliding design also helps create a cleaner and more controlled access solution compared with ordinary hospital doors.
4. Complete Accessory Package for Easier Installation
-
Each door was supplied as a complete system, including the door panel, motor, track or guide rail, cover, switches or sensors, handles, hardware accessories, stainless steel decorative or protective strips, and indicator components.
For international hospital projects, a complete accessory package can reduce missing-part risks during installation and make site coordination easier for the customer.
Project Result
The Nova Médica operating room door project has now entered the delivery stage, with the customized automatic sliding lead-lined doors and automatic hermetic sliding doors shipped to Veracruz, Mexico.
For OSIDEK, this project is a valuable example of how overseas hospital customers make purchasing decisions for customized medical doors. The customer did not rely only on product names or quotation sheets. Instead, they reviewed photos, watched videos, checked product details, and confirmed whether the doors matched the project’s real operating room requirements.
By providing customized door sizes, lead-lined radiation protection configuration, automatic hermetic sliding door systems, and transparent visual communication before shipment, OSIDEK helped the customer move from inquiry to confirmed order with greater confidence.
This case also shows that for hospital projects in Mexico and other international markets, professional communication and real product evidence are just as important as manufacturing capability.
