RIMSA surgical lamps
Cutting-Edge Shadowless Lamps
for Operating Room Lighting
Surgical medical lamps, specifically scialytic lamps, ensure deep, shadow-free illumination, making them essential tools in modern operating rooms.
Thanks to continuous technical and technological advancements, a variety of enhanced features are now available across different models, tailored to meet the diverse needs of surgical environments. Selecting the ideal solution requires careful consideration of the intended use, including the medical discipline and operational methods, to align with specific requirements.
As scialytic lamps, these medical devices comply with the rigorous standards set by IEC 60601-2-41, ensuring safety and performance. Each surgical lamp delivers a minimum luminous intensity of 40,000 lux while adhering to the upper safety threshold of 160,000 lux. Additionally, these lamps provide a high color rendering index (minimum 85 Ra) and operate within an appropriate color temperature range, ensuring optimal visibility for surgical procedures.
While these core features define the nature of scialytic lamps, additional functionalities—such as advanced glare reduction—can offer preferential conditions for specific use cases. By combining regulatory compliance with cutting-edge innovation, surgical lamps are designed to enhance precision, reduce risk, and adapt to the evolving needs of medical professionals.
Lighting quality: an holistic approach
Defining light quality cannot rest solely on individual parameters such as luminous intensity, color temperature, or color rendering. While these factors are indispensable, the methods used to measure them often yield inconclusive results. Taken on their own, they fail to capture light’s inherent complexity.
In reality, luminous quality arises from the interdependence of these parameters, each one influencing the others and dictating the overall effectiveness of illumination.
It’s for this reason that IEC 60601-2-41, the standard regulating surgical and medical lamps, does not mandate rigid parameters but provides flexibility, recognizing that no single absolute value can define light quality. Ideally, a composite index would consider the interplay among intensity, color temperature, and color rendering; however, no such tool currently exists. In its absence, each metric must be viewed with caution, as its true significance emerges only when examined alongside the others. As a result, light quality is a complex, dynamic balance requiring a holistic approach to be fully understood and harnessed.
Building on this principle, RIMSA has endowed its surgical lamps with unique features designed to adapt light quality to each specific surgical procedure, ensuring that illumination is precisely matched to clinical needs.
Additional features
Light quality
Luminous quality stems from an interdependence of parameters that mutually affect one another, collectively determining the overall effectiveness of illumination. In the absence of a comprehensive index that reflects the relationships among intensity, color temperature, and color rendering, RIMSA complies with IEC 60601-2-41—governing surgical and medical lamps—while maintaining a scientific commitment to finding the most advanced solutions for enhancing light quality.
Building on the dynamic interplay of these defining factors and fostering ongoing dialogue with healthcare professionals, physicians, and research institutions, RIMSA leverages its expertise to achieve the highest possible level of lighting quality in the operating room.
Reflection Technologies
Rimsa’s surgical lights incorporate cutting-edge technologies to deliver optimal surgical illumination.
- The indirect reflection system uses parabolic reflectors to diffuse LED light, expanding the luminous emission surface and enhancing shadow-free illumination.
- The patented 2R technology (double reflection), introduced in 2017, further maximizes this surface, eliminating glare and ensuring perfectly uniform lighting.
Materials
Constructed with high-quality materials like aluminium, the lamps combine durability, lightweight structure, and excellent heat dissipation, extending LED lifespan. Compatibility with laminar flow systems ensures a sterile environment, minimizing contamination risks in the surgical field.
Always on Focus
Always on Focus feature automatically keeps the illuminated area in focus without manual adjustments, streamlining efficiency during operations.
Camera and Integration
Integrating a camera into a surgical lamp is not just about convenience—it expands the functional capabilities of the operating room. These solutions allow surgeons to record, share, and analyze procedures with exceptional visual quality, enhancing training, teamwork, and communication.
When combined with advanced integration systems, they unlock new possibilities for optimizing workflows and ensuring precision in every detail.
