Intelligent operating light ‘world first’

Buoyed by the excellent reception among UK hospitals to its TruLight LED surgical light, launched last year, Trumpf Medical Systems has incorporated enhancements to the ultra-slim, lightweight product.

The new TruLight 5520 incorporates “adaptive light control plus”, which automatically adapts illumination as requirements change during surgery; surgeons need only set ideal light intensity at the operation’s start. Trumpf says this is thanks to the consistent light quality provided by the basic design: “The optimal combination of LED arrangement and orientation creates a homogenous light cylinder that is highly efficient at different depths of field. Innovative thermal management means effective heat dissipation, resulting in a noticeable increase in the LED durability and efficiency”. Even if moved during an operation, TruLight maintains its pre-set intensity.
