High Colour Rendition across the Full Visible Spectrum
Near perfect colour rendition across the full visible spectrum. Ra is 95 and R9 is 95. All the “R” Numbers are published in many of our brochures. Uses patented HD-LED technology.
Red Balance Controls
The light is optimised to enhance the visualisation of red tissue and has our unique Red Balance Control, which allows Surgeons to ‘tune’ the red content to match their own vision. Each individual’s eyes have differing levels of red perception and this is shown to deteriorate as we get older. Our unique Red Balance Control allows surgeons to precisely adjust the amount of red light whilst not affecting the balance of other colours.
Fat Beam provides broad, evenly illuminated light fields, offering a lot more flexibility in positioning the light versus a small, tight spot which has to be placed very precisely. As a result, the lights don’t have to be moved as much, as they can fully illuminate the whole of the surgical area and even small movements of the patient won’t move the patient out of the illuminated area. Large wound sites are fully illuminated.
A contrast ratio of 160,000:1,000 Lux is quite extreme. The comfort halo is designed to reduce the Surgeon’s eye strain that can result from their central vision being dominated by a very bright light whilst their peripheral vision is in low light. There are also benefits during endoscopic procedures during which the general lighting is normally turned off, with the halo providing soft, low level illumination around the patient for the team to carry out non-surgical tasks.
Sealed to IP 54 (Degree of Ingress Protection)
The lamphead is sealed to IP 54 – providing protection against the ingress of liquids and particulates. This stops contaminants, including cleaning solutions from getting inside the lamphead enclosure.
No Exposed Fasteners
Exposed screw heads and similar fasteners are almost impossible to clean effectively if they become contaminated (e.g. blood splashes) so we’ve eliminated all of them from the light head.
Silver Ion Antimicrobial Technology
Biomaster antimicrobial additive is moulded into the plastic lamp head parts and ‘Ultra Fresh’ is incorporated in the lamp head paint. Both of these additives have anti-microbial properties.
