New LED technology for deep cordless surgery
Enova Medical Technologies announced that it has developed a new LED technology for cordless surgical headlights for the first time. This breakthrough technology reaches light output levels exceeding 200,000 lux at 14 inches. This provides light intensity that is comparable to most 300-watt fiber optic xenon headlight systems that are commonly used by "deep cavity" surgeons, such as cardio, colo-rectal, neuro, orthopedic, thoracic, and vascular surgeons.
Enova will use its new lighting technology in the IRIS(TM) 2X Cordless Surgical Headlight, a new product being designed specifically for deep cavity surgeons and will be released in the first quarter of 2008.
Cordless Surgical Headlights, IRIS(TM) and IRIS Ultra-lite(TM), produce LED illumination optimised for surgical operating rooms. Crizal coated front lens and proprietary reflector technology deliver light output up to 100,000 lux. While IRIS can be completely cordless or powered via belt pack, IRIS Ultra-lite will be available with belt pack only. Color temperature range for both products is of 6,200-6,500 K. Also there is HELIOS(TM) 300 W xenon fiber optic headlight system, rated 6,000 K available.
