BihlerMED to Debut Surgilight, Flexible Surgical Lighting Solution, at AAOS 2017
Phillipsburg, NJ (PRWEB) March 01, 2017 -- Attendees will have the opportunity to experience demonstrations of the lighting device in person at BihlerMED Booth #4914. “AAOS 2017 is the ideal place and time to introduce Surgilight, considering the critical importance that precision lighting plays in today’s orthopedic procedures,” commented Dan Coppersmith, Sales and Marketing Manager for BihlerMED.
SURGILIGHT OVERCOMES TRADITIONAL SURGICAL LIGHTING CHALLENGES
Surgilight provides versatile and safe illumination, which can be focused on minute target areas. The device overcomes the limitations of traditional overhead surgical lighting by allowing the LED light source to be precisely mounted in the operating room. Overhead mounting is easily achieved by replacing the light handle; mounting to side rail clamps is another essential option. The result is the safe illumination of a precise surgical area from virtually any angle. “When surgeons are working with overhead lighting, their head and hands often create unwanted shadows,” explains Coppersmith. “With Surgilight’s highly maneuverable and adjustable illumination, shadows are quickly and easily mitigated.” Traditional overhead lights adjust by swinging and pivoting. Surgilight’s flexible arm allows for more agile and precise positioning of the light source.
CORDLESS AND VIDEO-READY
Surgilight is powered by a rechargeable, internal battery source, which provides 5-6 hours of running illumination, depending on brightness level. Table mount solutions with multiple clamping options are also available, further eliminating potential safety risks associated with cumbersome, wired overhead lamps. Designed for simple plug-and-play integration, Surgilight comes with mounting accessories that easily integrate with a wide range of standard overhead lighting components and fixtures. Surgilight is also constructed with a mounting feature that accommodates GoPro cameras, eliminating the need for traditional videography equipment, which may interfere with surgical team interaction or operating procedures.
ERGONOMIC DESIGN FOR MOBILITY AND COMFORT
Built with movability in mind, the Surgilight system comes in a convenient carrying case that houses the light, adaptor and accessories, enabling it to be easily transferred among operating rooms. Coppersmith added, “This is especially beneficial for surgeons who operate at multiple locations within close proximity, as well as those who travel to remote destinations where adequate lighting may not always be available.”
Traditional headlights are not particularly ergonomic, and is the cause of physical discomfort and neck pain for many surgeons. The Surgilight illumination system however, minimizes or eliminates the need for surgical headlights and the associated neck discomfort, providing the surgeon with an excellent light source with precise application.
Since introduction last year, the Surgilight has been extremely well received by numerous segments of the medical industry. Coppersmith comments, “Initial feedback on Surgilight from the greater medical community has been fantastic, and we look forward to formally introducing it to the orthopedic community at the AAOS conference.”
Surgilight is the product of a strategic partnership between BihlerMED and Tennessee-based View Medical, which specializes in the design, project management and market delivery of highly advanced surgical technology, particularly in the orthopedic medical device segment. Coppersmith concluded, “This strong partnership with View Medical builds on our commitment to provide the medical industry with innovative, cost-effective solutions to long standing challenges.”
At AAOS 2017, company representatives will also be showcasing other BihlerMED devices, including the Scintillant® Surgical Light and the Safe-T-Surg™ disposable retractor.
