With fluctuating light conditions in the operating theatre ‘potentially a serious impediment to the surgeon’, Trumpf Medical’s iLED 7 – claimed to be ‘the world’s first OR surgical light with builtin intelligence’ – features a 3D sensor system that ‘continuously analyses its environment’.
The company said: “This information is evaluated and relayed to the lighting control system. The iLED 7 then automatically adjusts to the individual surgeon’s needs.”
With its automatic lighting and shadow management capability, the iLED 7 ‘detects obstacles within the illuminated field and autonomously re-adjusts the defined configurations’. In combination with the intelligent distance measurement system, this ‘guarantees constant lighting intensities’ at between 80 and 130 cm. Trumpf added: “The illuminated field diameter remains consistent, even when the working environment spontaneously changes during the operation – for instance as a result of the operator’s hand and arm movement. iLED 7 thus provides optimum lighting whatever the situation.
“The surgical light’s manageable size, low weight, and aerodynamic shape, allow the iLED 7 to be simply positioned – even in laminar flow theatres. Other advantages include low energy consumption and ease of cleaning.”
