Minimally invasive surgery and interventional radiological procedures requires dedicated hybrid operating rooms to facilitate combined surgery and catheter based endo vascular procedures with the necessary image guidance and support. Conventional operating room equipment can not be used in such technologically advanced environments. In new digital angio systems, the C-bow is mounted on industrial robots extending the working range of the C-bow. This leads to a conflict between the C-bow's working range and the placement of conventional operating room lamps. LigthOR is a new Operating Room(OR) light system based on flexible LED lamps embedded in the OR roof. In this new solution the robotic C-bow movement is not compromised, as the operating room light is outside its working range. The LightOR system is based on use of roof mounted LED lamps operated by dedicated software for positioning of light focus and adjustment of light intensity and light color tone. The system is operated from a wireless tablet PC communicating with the LED lamps in a wireless local area network (WLAN). See the video demonstration of LightOR. The intuitive operation of the light is made from a wireless tablet pc displaying a picture of the operating table and the focus of the light can be changed from the touch screen directly.
The LightOR Operating Room Light System has been developed at the Interventional Centre at Rikshospitalet University Hospital in collaboration with Art Light as.
