Dr. Josh Mezrich, Professor of Surgery at the University of Wisconsin and surgical director of the living donor kidney program, had a vision (pun intended): to create a sterile surgical task light that could give surgeons high-definition illumination—without being strapped to their heads.
One of the most effective ergonomic mitigations is to incorporate microbreaks every 20-40 minutes during long procedures.
Among the critical technologies in the OR, lighting plays an indispensable role, ensuring that surgeons have a clear, accurate view of the surgical field. The evolution of OR lighting reflects broader advances in medical science, technology, and safety.
Effective lighting not only enables surgeons to perform procedures with precision but also plays a vital role in ensuring patient safety and optimal clinical outcomes. One essential aspect of lighting quality is the Color Rendering Index (CRI), a metric that measures how accurately light sources reveal the true colors of objects.
