Dr. Josh Mezrich, Professor of Surgery at the University of Wisconsin and surgical director of the living donor kidney program, had a vision (pun intended): to create a sterile surgical task light that could give surgeons high-definition illumination—without being strapped to their heads.
In the operating room (OR), proper lighting is crucial to the success of surgical procedures, as it allows surgeons to see the surgical site with precision and clarity
One of the most effective ergonomic mitigations is to incorporate microbreaks every 20-40 minutes during long procedures.
Among the critical technologies in the OR, lighting plays an indispensable role, ensuring that surgeons have a clear, accurate view of the surgical field. The evolution of OR lighting reflects broader advances in medical science, technology, and safety.
