Challenge: While we know a surgeon requires the right training, equipment, and support to perform effectively, one thing we don’t often think about is a surgeon’s comfort in the operating room (O.R.). However, this in fact is critical in maintaining focus and sustained energy throughout the course of a case. Gowns and operating lights have a significant impact on the comfort of surgical staff. Dominant surgical lighting technology was based on halogen bulbs which use significant quantities of energy, radiate heat enough to substantially raise the temperature of an O.R., and require frequent replacement. Due to the discomfort that these characteristics cause surgical staff, the Surgical Core Group was interested in pursuing new technology. Click here to read more…
