  • Patent number: 12123569
    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.

  • Patent number: 10914460
    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.

  • Patent number: 10905516
    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).

  • Patent number: 10451217
    Abstract: A suspension device making it possible to suspend items of equipment (7, 7?) under a support structure comprises an anchor bracket (2) designed to be anchored axially to the support structure, two distribution arms (9, 10, 9?, 10?) that are adjustable up and down and that are designed to carry the items of equipment (7, 7?), and that are connected to the anchor bracket (2) via pivot articulations (11, 11?), each of which is offset from the anchor bracket (2) via a stationary offsetting arm (8, 8?; 8?).

  • Patent number: 9175803
    Abstract: An adjustable-position load supporting arm (4) comprises a framework having the shape of a deformable parallelogram one free end (5) of which is able to support a load and a jack (12) able to deform the deformable parallelogram, the jack (12) being of the adjustable-pressure type so that the pressure inside the jack (12) is adjustable according to the weight of said load supported by the supporting arm (4). It comprises, at the free end (5), a connecting piece (6) able to support said load and has, in a first configuration, an axis of orientation (A) that is fixed with respect to said fixed link (9a) and, in a second configuration, an axis of orientation (B) that is variable with respect to said fixed link (9a) when said supporting arm (4) shifts position.
