Medical lighting systems generally include single and/or dual light heads that are attached to a boom arm or track suspension that is equipped with sufficient light reflection, spectral characteristics, focus, pattern and intensity adjustments to help greatly reduce the creation of shadows by operating room staff. Medical lighting helps illuminate the subjects true color more accurately than that of bulb lights and has the added benefit of multiple arrangements of small light sources fixed at different angles to aid in shadow reduction for a more consistent surgical light. Shadow reduction helps to reduce shadows created by staff in the field of illumination.
Advances in medical lighting technology such as LED’s offer many advantages for use as operating room lights over traditional tungsten halogen and gas discharge fixtures which include reduced electricity use, longer life, reduced heat generation, and lower ultra violet radiation which helps to reduce the potential of creating dry, exposed tissue. These operating room LED’s are long lasting with a life expectancy of 50,000 plus hours. Our surgical light portfolio consists of excellent lighting solutions from the following manufactures: Amico, LUVIS, Medical Illumination, and SIMEON!
