A new miniature surgical illuminator is designed for spine, hip, shoulder, plastic, maxillofacial and oral surgery, and other orthopedic procedures.

The Mini VersaLight is ergonomically designed for comfort in any hand position, with a straight horizontal profile and an extended tip for easy insertion and added reach in minimally invasive incisions. It provides a cool, bright, uniform, and shadowless light using patented Lumitex MicroLens lighting technology, and it can be inserted directly into deep cavities, small openings, under flaps, and in lateral margins. Built in irrigation, aspiration, and retraction capabilities help to access, visualize, irrigate, and clear the surgical site, while saving operative time, space, and cost.

Surgeons can choose suction power levels with a conveniently located finger-controlled aspiration hole. The mini light also irrigates the surgical zone at the push of a button, providing a controlled fluid stream on demand. The horizontally seamed design enables the device to withstand approximately four kilograms of retraction force without breaking, making it useful to reposition tissue for better access and visualization.

The Mini VersaLight attaches easily to standard hospital operating room (OR) tubing to provide sterile irrigation from a standard infusion pump and irrigation from a central suction tubing, and thus requires no additional capital investment, offering a lower cost-per-use. The Mini VersaLight is a product of Lumitex Medical Devices (Strongsville, OH, USA).
