Overhead surgical lights, affixed to the ceiling of an operation theatre room facilitates maximum illumination to the surgical field, i.e. the area of the body where the surgery is performed. LED OT lights maximise light diuffusion without creating heat.
LEDs radiate much less heat than incandescent bulbs, so the surgeon and staff are more comfortable (important during long cases). And cooler light means less heat in the surgical field, reducing the risk of drying out exposed tissue.Surgical lights, also known as surgical lighting or operating lights, are mainly used in hospital operating rooms and ambulatory surgery centers, but can also be used in various locations throughout the facility to provide high quality lighting for procedures.
Examples include emergency rooms, labor and delivery, examination rooms, and anywhere where procedures are completed. They are used by clinicians, surgeons and proceduralists. A surgical light illuminates the operative site on a patient for optimal visualization during a procedure.1 Surgical lights can provide hours of bright light without excessively heating the patient or staff. A variety of lights are available to meet the needs of providing optimal visualization during surgery and procedures. An examination light is used during medical exams, while operating room lights are used during surgical procedures.
Surgical headlights are mainly used in hospitals or specialised surgical centres to provide focused and direct light for delicate procedures. Surgical headlights are also used by other medical professionals in the veterinary and dentistry fields. Battery-powered or connected to a standalone light source with a fibre optic cable, a surgical headlight features a small dedicated light spot that follows the surgeon’s line of vision.
