A method for controlling a medical light by a handle assembly removably mounted to the medical light includes storing configuration data at a controller of the handle assembly that defines a mapping of handle assembly user inputs to medical light property adjustments; detecting a first user input to the handle assembly; and sending a control signal to the medical light to vary a property of light provided by the medical light according to the first user input and the configuration data.

An electrosurgical pencil includes a handle housing. A light source is disposed within the handle housing and is configured to generate light for illuminating a surgical site. A light-transmitting nozzle formed of a resin is disposed in proximity to the light source and defines a fluid lumen in fluid communication with a fluid lumen of the handle housing for suctioning surgical smoke from a surgical site. The light-transmitting nozzle is configured to transmit light generated by the light source. An electrode extends from a distal end portion of the handle housing and through an aperture defined by the light source. The electrode is configured to deliver electrosurgical energy to tissue.

A method for controlling characteristics of light emitted from a surgical light includes remotely configuring a surgical light, using a remote computing system communicatively connected to the surgical light, by selecting which of a plurality of characteristics of light emitted from the surgical light are adjustable by operation of a handle assembly of the surgical light. The method includes adjusting, using the handle assembly, at least one characteristic of the plurality of characteristics of the light emitted from the surgical light according to the selection of which of the plurality of characteristics of light emitted from the surgical light are adjustable by operation of the handle assembly.

A suction device comprising a suction tube configured to fluidly couple to a vacuum source and to provide suction at its distal end, an illumination assembly comprising at least one direct light source for emitting light to a target area, an elongated heat sink thermally coupled to the at least one light source and extending along a portion of the suction tube, and a spine extending along the suction tube and overlapping with the elongated heat sink, the spine including an integrated lens, wherein the at least one direct light source and the elongated heat sink are enclosed within a space formed between the spine and a side of the suction tube.

An illumination unit for illuminating an area of operation during open surgery. The illumination unit including: a body; a fiber bundle configured to guide light towards a distal end of the body, and a reflector body arranged at the distal end of the body. Where at least a part of the fiber bundle is guided inside the body along a longitudinal direction, the fiber bundle is split up into a plurality of optical fibers which form a fiber layer on an inner surface of the body, end faces of the plurality of optical fibers are arranged at the distal end of the body, the reflector body encloses the end faces of the plurality of optical fibers in a radial direction and extends distally beyond the distal end of the body in the longitudinal direction, and an inner surface of the reflector body is a reflective surface.
