Surgical Lighting System; a Medical Device Used In Operation Rooms to Assist Medical Personnel

  Surgical lighting system 

 



  Surgical lighting system plays an important role during surgeries; intended to assist medical personnel by illuminating a local area or cavity of the patient during surgery. Surgical lighting systems are of various types, such as mobile surgical lights, surgical headlights, wall-mounted surgical lights, and ceiling-mounted surgical lights. Lighting is an integral part of healthcare infrastructure, widely used in hospital wards, intensive care units, operation theatres, and other healthcare settings. Three types of lamps are commonly used in operating theatres, such as Light Emitting Diodes (LED), Gas Discharge, and Incandescent.

  In healthcare settings, the surgical lighting system is widely by surgeons to perform neurosurgery, endoscopic surgery, dental surgery, and optical surgery, among others. Moreover, such lamps provide bright high-intensity, and shadow-free lighting that helps medical personnel visualize low-contrast and small objects during surgical procedures. Thus, surgical lighting systems are widely used in ambulatory surgery centers and operating rooms. The system is a combination of accessories and several lights. Correct illumination can be achieved by the quality of light which is measured as lumens per square meter or lux.

  A combination of several surgical lights is often referred to as a surgical light system. High-quality surgical lighting systems contribute to the success rate of any surgical procedure, as the system provides deep-cavity illumination, excellent shadow control, & natural color rendition, allowing medical personnel to consistently and accurately assess and interpret tissue and vessel appearance. Thus, with the increase in the number of surgical procedures, demand for high-quality surgical lighting systems is also increasing at a rapid pace worldwide. LED lighting is the most conventional light source used for open surgery.

  According to the National Center for Health Statistics, around 1.5 million surgical procedures were performed in the United States in 2019. This in turn is expected to increase the demand for surgical lighting systems in this region.

Total Disc Replacement complete details Of Competitive Landscape Executive Summary Development in next decade

Image
    Total disc replacement is a type of back/spine surgery in which an artificial replacement device is used to replace a damaged or degenerated disc in the lumbar or cervical region. A disc replacement, also known as an artificial disc, is a device implanted in the spine that performs the same function as a normal disc in the human body. A total disc replacement , as the name implies, is a procedure that involves the complete or partial exclusion of the disc tissue in order to implant a replacement device into the space between the vertebrae. The prostheses help to maintain spinal curvature and flexibility while reducing or possibly eliminating pain.   Cervical total disc replacement (CTDR) surgery is used to treat patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD). The most common cause of DDD in the cervical region of the spine is neck pain. For the treatment of DDD, a cervical disc replacement procedure is performed in which the degenerated disc is surgically removed and...

Dengue Vaccines development and progress towards vaccine has increased over the past few years

Image
    Dengue fever is a tropical disease spread by mosquitos that are caused by the dengue virus. 3 to 14 days after infection, symptoms appear. A high fever, headache, vomiting, muscle, and joint pains, and a distinct skin rash are all potential symptoms. In most cases, recovery takes two to seven days. In a small percentage of cases, the disease progresses to dengue hemorrhagic fever, which causes bleeding, low levels of blood platelets, and blood plasma leakage, or to dengue shock syndrome, which causes dangerously low blood pressure.   Dengue is spread by several Aides genus female mosquitoes, most notably Aides. The virus has five serotypes; infection with one type usually results in lifelong immunity to that type but only temporary immunity to the others. Subsequent infection with a different type raises the possibility of severe complications. . Dengue vaccines are a vaccine used to protect humans from dengue fever to confirm the diagnosis, a number of tests are ava...

Marine electronics are electronic devices specifically designed for use in marine environments

Image
    Marine electronics are electronic devices that are specifically designed for use in the marine environment. Radar systems, SONAR, navigation, and communication systems are among the electronics required to carry out various maritime operations effectively. Growing oceanic trade activities and defense sector demand are expected to generate the massive potential for marine electronics during the forecast period.     How do electronic boats function? Most electronic devices come with connectors and cables, which are bundles of colored wires inside a common insulator that you connect to the power and other electronics on your boat. Two of the wires are connected to the power supply. Others connect to NMEA ports, which allow the device to share data with other units.        Marine electronics are machines and electronics that are designed and developed for the marine industry, such as chart plotters, marine VHF radios, marine radar, and others.
