FLOWER
MOUND, Texas, USA, Nov. 19,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Stryker (NYSE: SYK), a global
leader in medical technologies, unveiled the Oculan Lighting
Platform, an innovative lighting solution designed to provide
consistent, high-quality illumination, allowing surgeons to focus
on delivering the highest standard of care.
In today's operating rooms, where precision and accuracy are
critical, even the smallest challenges may impact surgical outcomes
– factors which may impede a surgeon's ability to see clearly and
work efficiently.
"The Oculan Lighting Platform was developed in response to
real-world challenges faced by surgeons, as identified through
extensive customer feedback," said Caitlin
Clark, vice president and general manager of Stryker's
Communications business. "This new solution is designed to improve
the visualization experience, surgical performance and patient
safety within the operating room."
The Oculan Lighting Platform offers advanced features designed
to enhance surgical precision and comfort:
- Fly Eye technology within the optical architecture: This
proprietary design ensures that instruments, hands, and the
surgeon's head do not create dim areas, providing even light
distribution.
- Consistent illumination: Allows surgeons to maintain a
clear view and is designed to increase optical efficiency and
reduce color ringing at the surgical site within procedures.
- Auto lux and Microspot: Provides uniform brightness and
pure white even in harder-to-reach areas such as a deep cavity or
small incision procedures.
- SHD Mode: Removal of perceived red is designed to
improve contrast, tissue differentiation, and reduction of glare
off instrumentation to improve the visual experience.
- Heat minimization: Designed to produce less heat through
heat dissipation, creating a cooler, more comfortable environment
for lengthy surgeries.
- Reduced glare and reflections: Helps surgeons stay
focused and minimizes eye strain.
- Ease of adoption: Suspension modularity allows for the
Oculan Lighting Platform to be installed in operating rooms with
existing Stryker surgical lights, causing minimal OR downtime.
"Clear visualization is one of the most critical aspects of
surgical lighting," said Dr. Shyamali
Mallick Singhal, Chief Medical Officer of Apricity Health in
California. "The ability to see
clearly without shadows or dim spots is essential for precise work.
The Oculan Lighting Platform excels in providing bright, even light
in these hard-to-reach spaces, where surgeons need it most. Just as
important are its enhanced contrast capabilities, which allow us to
distinguish between different tissues and anatomical structures
more easily, significantly improving our ability to identify
critical details with greater accuracy and confidence. This level
of visibility is essential for delivering safer, more efficient
surgeries."
Engineered for long-term performance, the Oculan Lighting
Platform is designed to enhance functionality and durability. Its
intuitive controls allow surgical teams to easily adjust settings
to meet their specific needs. Emphasizing user-friendliness, the
platform features multiple control points that streamline workflows
and minimize disruptions. For more information about the Oculan
