Abstract:
A lighting system (10) suited to use in an operating theater includes one or more lightheads, each having a housing (28) and a bezel (50) extending therefrom. A light source (38) is disposed within the housing. A handle (36) extends below the bezel and is rotatable relative thereto. A lighting control input means (60), associated with the bezel allows adjustment of the intensity of light emitted by the light source. A sterile cover (54) can be placed over both the handle and the bevel, allowing the input means to be manipulated by pressure on the cover with the thumb of the operator's hand, while simultaneously grasping the handle in the palm and fingers.
Abstract:
A video/data/power quick connect system is provided for use with medical appliance suspension arms. A universal cable bundle (40) extends along a monitor suspension arm (12). A first hub harness (50) adapts the cable bundle (40) for connection to a first associated source (68) of video/data/power signals. A first monitor harness (60) connects a lower end of the cable bundle (40) for connection to a first associated monitor device (34). A second hub harness (50null) and second monitor harness (60null) are provided for adapting the cable bundle (40) for connection to a second source (68) of associated video/data/power signals and a second associated monitor device (34null), respectively.
