VISILED:
Wireless Surgical Headlight
The new Halo Wireless Surgical Headlight is the first cordless headlight suitable for high-intensity surgical illumination. Conventional surgical headlights require surgeons to stay tethered to restrictive fiber-optic cables throughout an operation, limiting their mobility and causing them discomfort, especially during long or complex procedures. They can also generate intense heat, which adds to the discomfort and has the potential to dry out patient tissue. The solution came in the form of light emitting diodes (LEDs), which are solid-state semiconductors that release electrical energy in the form of light. Because LEDs generate no heat, and because the newest LEDs deliver high luminosity with little energy, VISILED was able to produce a lightweight cordless headlight without sacrificing the level of brightness that surgical illumination requires. The proprietary design consists of two LEDs fitted onto a lightweight headband and powered with rechargeable batteries. The Halo is designed to provide true color rendition of patient tissue and to last for about 50,000 hours with virtually no maintenance.
