LED Light Provide Perfect Illumination of Surgical Fields

An innovative operating room (OR) surgical lamp with light emitting diode (LED) technology grants users optimal performance, reliability, and visual comfort.

The STARLED5 NX is made up of five reflector groups (with seven LEDs in each), and another eight LEDs that are circularly positioned around the handle. The combined 43 LEDs generate a shadowless, clear, and homogeneous light that assures visual comfort and the best working conditions for both the surgeon and medical staff. The excellent optical quality of next-generation LEDs produces a high illumination level of 130,000 lux (optional 160,000 lux). A color rendering index (CRI) of 95 and color temperature of 4,500 K reproduce the exact chromatic scale of the human body.


To enable the delivery of the heatless infra-red (IR)-free light according to different needs, the light field focusing system adjusts the light-spot diameter to accent sharpness of details in the operating area. An ambient light-up system situated on the upper part of the lamp provides adjustable illumination levels according to use, and is particularly suitable for use during minimal invasive surgery (MIS) by not only visualizing the microscopic operating field but the surrounding areas and the environment as well.

All functions are managed via the digital and easy-to-read I–SENSE control panel, positioned on the cardanic shaft structure. The panel controls power, light intensity, light spot diameter dimension (focusing), the ENDO-light for endoscopy, and depth of field (DOF) for a full visualization of the operating field and deep cavities. An optional SYNC mode synchronizes controls among combined lamps in different configurations, such as a STARLED5 NX twin dome configuration, or a STARLED5 NX with STARLED7 NX or STARLED 3 NX.

The STARLED5 NX is also practical for the medical team, since it can be moved using lateral handles that assure stability and constant illumination even during movement. An ergonomic design takes into consideration sanitary requirements of the OR. For example, the lamp is manufactured of a smooth and resistant material that makes cleaning quick, easy, and complete. A removable and sterilizable central handle can house a video camera (on demand) for recording the surgical operations accurately (alternatively, the video camera can be placed on a separate arm).

The STARLED5 NX LED is a product of ACEM Medical Company (Bologna, Italy).
