A medical lighting device for illuminating an operating area has an overhead light providing axial illumination and is movably mounted over the operating area and movable manually towards or away from the operating area, and a system for assisting adjustment of a proper lighting position for the overhead light relative to the operating area in such a manner as to position the overhead light at a predetermined distance from the operating area. The system comprises a first light source for generating a first light beam and a second light source for generating a second light beam, the light sources arranged on the overhead light in angularly offset positions so that the first and second light beams converge at a point on the operating area when the predetermined distance is reached, and otherwise when not at that distance the two light beams form two light spots that are disjoint.

A unit includes a rail system having a trolley and first and second hook rails that are configured to mate with corresponding portions of a mounting board secured to a ceiling, a length between the first and second hook rails approximately equal to a width of the mounting board to insure a snug fit, an arm system configured to link to the rail system and having an upper tube section, a middle tube section and a lower tube section, an end of the upper tube section including slip ring wire connections to enable the upper tube section to rotate within the rail system, and an illumination unit configured to link to the lower tube section and having an end of the lower tube section including slip ring wire connections to enable the illumination unit to rotate with respect to the lower tube section.

A flexible operating room lighting system may be coupled to a wall, ceiling, or fixture of a facility. The lighting system can modularly accommodate multiple illumination arms and incorporate one or more microphone thereon, permitting the vocal control using a processor for hands free operations. The lighting system may include a speaker and a camera to facilitate two-way communications with a user to facilitate demonstrations for individuals undergoing tutelage in the particular facility's profession. The lighting system may employ a stand with wheels to facilitate modularity. Further, a cover with a transparent front end may be provided to be slipped over the lighting system and securing through a cover fastener. By providing each illumination arm with a jack, the illumination arm may be modularly assigned, replaced, sanitized. Thus, the present invention provides reliable sanitary measures while further facilitating a flexible operable device through the illumination arms.

A handle assembly comprised of a base and a detachable handle that mounts to the base. The base includes integrated electronics, such as switches. The detachable handle includes buttons for activating the switches.

The present invention relates to a device for attaching and detaching a handle of a surgical light which is a medical lighting apparatus. The device, in the handle which is inserted into or separated from a surgical light shaft in a female-male coupling manner, comprises: a lock pin which protrudes in the axial direction of the surgical light shaft and is inserted into a lock hole formed on the handle so as to prevent the handle from being separated; a pin spring, supported on the surgical light shaft, for providing elastic force so that the lock pin protrudes to the outside of the surgical light shaft; a separation button which is provided on the outside of the handle and, when an external force for separating the handle from the surgical light shaft is applied, is pushed so as to enable the lock pin to be separated from the lock hole of the handle; and a button support body for supporting the separation button on the handle so that the separation button is movable to a certain degree. Therefore, the device prevents cross-infection which can occur while moving the surgical light during an operation, thereby enhancing safety and reliability of the surgical light.

A surgical lamp with a handle may be equipped with a touch sensor at the end of the handle. A touch on the touch sensor may be used to toggle the lamp between on and off states. Additionally, touches on the touch sensor may be used to cycle through various brightness levels. A twist on the handle may be used to cycle through color temperature options.

The present invention is a combination light handle cover having flexible light handle cover performance in its grip part and semi-rigid light handle performance in its protective upper flange, where two snap fit connections are formed between the invention combination light handle cover and a rigid light handle which is adapted to be fixed rigidly to a surgical light or lamp. A lower snap fit connection is formed between lower female impressions (such as tabs) in the combination light handle cover at a relatively smaller diameter portion of the combination light handle cover in a zone between the grip part and the protective upper flange, which first female impressions snap fit to a lower extension ridge of the rigid light handle. An upper snap fit connection is formed between upper female impressions (such as tabs) in the combination light handle cover at a relatively large diameter portion of the combination light handle cover in a zone upon its protective cover, which second female impressions snap fit to an upper extension ridge of the rigid light handle, which upper extension ridge has a diameter much greater than that of the lower extension ridge.

Disclosure herein are aerodynamic surgical lights and methods of manufacturing and use thereof. The aerodynamic surgical lights may include a light head made of one or more substantially tubular light housings. The substantially tubular light housings contain and protect a plurality of LED lights and their respective reflectors that aim a light beam toward the lower side of the substantially tubular light housings. The substantially tubular light housings are vertically elongate. The vertically elongated substantially tubular light housings include upper sections that are aerodynamically curved or pointed to streamline airflow past the light housings. The upper sections of the substantially tubular light housings are made of molded plastic resin reinforced with carbon fibers or glass fibers and the lower sections of the substantially tubular light housings are made of a clear moldable plastic.
