Embodiments of claimed subject matter are directed to an illuminating surgical device comprising a single control element to control an array of illuminating elements and an array of louvers to direct light from the individual illuminating elements toward a surgical field.

A patient warming system for stabilizing and/or heating and cooling a patient includes a plurality of solid-surface sections arranged for attachment to a surgical table and a warming pad layer comprising a plurality of warming pads configured for removable connection to the plurality of solid-surface sections. At least one of the plurality of solid-surface sections includes a power connector for connection to an external power source. Each warming pad of the plurality of warming pads includes a foam insulation layer, a distributed heating element layer having a warming-pad power connection for connection to the power connector, an isothermal layer, and a flexible waterproof layer. Power supplied to the warming-pad power connection of the distributed heating element layer of the respective warming pad can be used to provide a user-selected uniform temperature over the surface of the flexible waterproof layer in order to prevent hot spots.

A high-efficiency lamp, emitting light from a front surface, and having a high-efficiency light source, producing a first light beam. An iris assembly has an annular body that defines a first annulus and has iris blades which can be extended into the annulus to form a second, smaller, annulus. This iris assembly is positioned relative to the light source so that the iris blades are in front of the high-efficiency light source. The annular body and therefore the first annulus have finite depth from back to front. A light guide is placed immediately behind the iris blades and defines a channel that is open at its back and its front and has a reflective interior surface, with the open back being transversely coincident to the light source so that light from the light source can travel through the channel to and out from the open front.

A surgical light system comprises several light sources configured to respectively generate a specific light field on at least one surgical site to generate a surgical light field, and a controller configured to control the several light sources such as to provide and adjust a brightness of the specific light fields. The surgical light field is divided into several adjacent sections, the several light sources are configured such that the sections are respectively covered by at least one of the specific light fields in order to have a resulting brightness, wherein the size of the at least one specific light field) correspond to the size of the covered section, and the controller is configured to control the light sources such that the resulting brightness of the sections is adjustable to a specific brightness.

A lighting assembly includes a light transmissive substrate extending along a length and including a light emission portion including opposed first and second major surfaces spaced apart from one another in a thickness direction, an inner edge surface extending between the first and second major surfaces in the thickness direction, and an outer edge surface opposed the inner edge surface and extending in the thickness direction. An extension portion extends from the light emission portion proximate the second major surface in the thickness direction. A light source is attached to the extension portion. A light head includes a housing, a primary light source attached to the housing, and the lighting assembly as an auxiliary lighting assembly. The housing includes a channel in which the auxiliary lighting assembly is retained.

The present invention relates to a system for monitoring a surgical luminaire assembly comprising at least one surgical luminaire, with a monitoring unit. It is provided here that the system comprises a 3D sensor which three-dimensionally detects the surgical luminaire assembly and/or an operating area arranged below the surgical luminaire assembly, wherein the data of the 3D sensor are evaluated by the monitoring unit with respect to the surgical luminaire assembly.
