Abstract: This disclosure relates to a surgical lighting device for generating a spot of light on a surgical site for use in combination with a fluorescence imaging device. The lighting device comprises a support structure, a subsurface which may be coupled to the support structure to seal the lower surface of the device while allowing light to pass through and a plurality of light sources emitting white light and placed between the support structure and the subsurface. The device further includes a plurality of NIR (near infrared) filters, each NIR filter being associated with a light source and being configured to substantially prevent the transmission of wavelengths within a wavelength band from 680 nm to 900 nm, while minimizing the change in the color temperature of the light spot.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a surgical lighting device comprising a shell (12), a plurality of light sources (24) coupled to the shell, and a closure plate (18) for closing the lighting device by allowing light to pass through. The closure plate comprises a plurality of lens elements, each lens element being configured to collect and focus light from a corresponding light source to generate a light spot of a predetermined diameter located at a predetermined distance from the lighting device. In order to simplify the structure of the lighting device, the light sources and the cover plate are arranged in such a way that the light beams coming from the light sources and received by the associated lens elements arrive at the lens elements without substantial reflection or deflection. The closure plate therefore comprises all the optics necessary for collecting and focusing the light from the light sources.

Abstract: A medical lighting device for illuminating an operating area has an overhead light providing axial illumination and is movably mounted over the operating area and movable manually towards or away from the operating area, and a system for assisting adjustment of a proper lighting position for the overhead light relative to the operating area in such a manner as to position the overhead light at a predetermined distance from the operating area. The system comprises a first light source for generating a first light beam and a second light source for generating a second light beam, the light sources arranged on the overhead light in angularly offset positions so that the first and second light beams converge at a point on the operating area when the predetermined distance is reached, and otherwise when not at that distance the two light beams form two light spots that are disjoint.

Abstract: Systems and methods for mounting surgical lighting to the ceiling of an operating theater can include an anchoring tube having attachment holes, and a surgical lighting suspension having internal attachment threads for receiving screws. The receiving screws may be pressure screws. The pressure screws may include a threaded body, and a tightening head which has a smaller diameter than the threaded body. The pressure screws can support and secure the surgical lighting suspension by copressive stress. Anti-loosening screws may be used to secure the pressure screws in place.

Abstract: A medical lighting device for illuminating an operative field, which device includes light-emitting diode (LED) light sources that cooperate with collimator optical systems to light the operative field. LEDs are mounted on a flat printed circuit board so that their illumination axes (B) passing through the collimator optical systems (7) have different angular orientations. The printed circuit board (6) may be cut out to form tongues, each of which is flexible and has a free end carrying an LED. Each tongue can be deformed under stress in such a manner that its free end is oriented substantially perpendicularly to the illumination axis (B).

The optical filter means comprise at least two optical filters (12) that have different transmission coefficients and that are positionable to filter the light emitted by the LED (8) individually. The lighting device (6) includes a power supply unit (10) suitable for delivering different power supply currents to the LED (8) depending on whether one or the other of the optical filters (12) is positioned to filter the light from the LED (8), so as to modify the color temperature of the light emitted by the LED (8).

Abstract: A lighting device for illuminating an operative field comprises, in an axial lighting dome, a first ring of LEDs at a first color temperature, and a second ring of LEDs at a second color temperature different from said first color temperature, and an annular facetted mirror having semi-reflective facets and arranged about the same axis as said rings of LEDs. Collimation optical systems are provided between each ring of LEDs and the annular facetted mirror having semi-reflective facets. The annular facetted mirror having semi-reflective facets mixes the collimated light beams emitted by the two rings of LEDs coupled to the collimators, and forms first and second collimated resulting mixed light beams having the same intermediate color temperature.

Abstract: The lighting equipment comprises a lighting device with a plurality of light sources for delivering white light having a tunable light spectrum, and a monitoring and control device that controls the light sources in a modulation cycle for modulating the light spectrum, which cycle comprises a first period where the light spectrum is red-enriched, a second period where the light spectrum is gradually modulated from red to blue, a third period where the light spectrum is blue-enriched, and a fourth period where the light spectrum is modulated gradually from blue to red. The control device is arranged to detect reception of a signal indicating a human presence, and, in response, reinitializes the modulation cycle when the modulation cycle is in the first period, or gradually modulates the light spectrum from blue to red when the modulation cycle is in the second, third or fourth period before reinitializing the modulation cycle.
