4-dimensional surgical lighting
STERIS, the international reference in the healthcare field, has one objective: useful innovation.
Today, STERIS is taking a new look at surgical lighting. The new XLED® range has broken away from the old patterns: bold in appearance, a unique modular design, and exemplary quality of lighting ... yet another product bearing the STERIS signature!
Harmony of the spheres
The XLED® aesthetics are particularly pleasing but, above all, its elegant contours conceal a clever optical process: each spot or group of spots is contained within the area of a sphere. This perfect convergence of the lighting sources over the area to be lit guarantees excellent shadow management and even lighting over the field.
Illuminating ideas
Surgical lighting is first and foremost a work tool. Always pragmatic, STERIS engineers produce efficient solutions for the daily constraints encountered by medical teams. Thus, XLED® has been designed to optimize air flow: the temperature near the surgeon’s head remains comfortable and the laminar flow is unimpeded. Manoeuvrability is also optimized thanks to a suspension that provides precise and effortless light positioning. The ergonomic handle was designed to withstand at least 1,000 sterilisation cycles. A dual control system allows the lighting to be adjusted directly from the lighthead or from a wall-mounted unit. Finally, the standard ambient lighting feature is essential for all endoscopy procedures.
The pattern diameter is very easily adjusted without repositioning the lighthead thanks to the exclusive wavelens system.
White LEDs: the choice for the future
STERIS has selected the best LEDs in order to guarantee excellent lighting quality. With a rated life of more than 40,000 hours, their qualities remain stable over time and require no recalibration. Additionally, they offer perfect colour rendering: the pattern is perfectly homogeneous, with no rainbow effects. Far from being a mere detail, this chromatic fidelity is essential to a number of surgical procedures, facilitating the identification of different tissues and vessels.
The same quality demanded for all applications
Developed for the most demanding of surgeons, XLED® offers its technology to all applications. Its clever modular design provides a solution that is relevant to each need from the simple spot for the examination room to the dual lighthead delivering 160,000 Lux each. Easily installed in all premises whether new or existing, XLED® offers an innovative solution to the varied requirements of the hospital world.
XLED® lighting systems are designed, developed and manufactured in France.
