Surgical Booms
Surgical Booms, also known as equipment booms or equipment management systems (EMS), are designed to constrain the electrical cords from various pieces of equipment in the OR that can lead to tripping hazards for staff. By removing the clutter from various cords, surgical booms increase the amount of working space in the operating room. Booms also provide housing for various pieces of equipment and allow that equipment to be positioned to best meet the patient and surgical team needs. Booms are suspended from the ceiling and move easily throughout the operating room. Booms come in various designs. The design chosen by the facility may depend on the space requirements of the OR.
Surgical Lights
What is important in a surgical light? Surgical lights are medical devices designed to effectively illuminate the patient’s body during surgical procedures, diagnostics, or treatments. These lights must follow a strict set of specifications to ensure efficient and effective illumination that leads to improved visibility and better patient outcomes. Surgical lights are arguably the most important tool in the operating room; if surgeons can’t see, they can’t effectively diagnose or treat the patient. More light does not correlate with improved visual acuity. Research has shown that quality of light — not quantity — matters most in the operating room (OR). Intensity Width Depth Shadows Colour Heat Safety Our long experience taught us to ideally balance these factors to deliver the perfect illumination for surgeons. Factors that contribute to high-quality surgical lighting include: Intensity, Width, Depth, Shadows, Colour, Heat Safety
