Surgical lights with antibacterial coating for great illumination and improved hygiene in the OR

Especially nowadays, hygiene is more important than ever before. Any help is welcome to meet the hygienic requirements in the hospitals and operating rooms. SIMEON supports the hospitals worldwide with an antibacterial coating on the light heads that reduces germs by 99.99 percent. Combined with the great light quality and the homogeneous light field, SIMEON HighLine operating lights are a unique solution for the operating room.

All devices in the operating room need to meet the high requirements in terms of hygiene and cleanliness. This also applies to the operating lights that are essential for successful operations. SIMEON Medical offers the HighLine operating lights with a special antibacterial coating Anti.BAC® that reduces germs and bacteria by 99.99%. In addition, the HighLine operating light is characterized by the closed construction and the exclusive use of high-quality materials such as aluminum and real glass. Therefore, the lights can be easily cleaned with all common disinfectants.

Another great advantage of the SIMEON operating lights is the intuitive my.GRIP concept. It convinces in terms of both, handling and hygiene advantages. My.GRIP enables the user to independently perform the most important sterile settings on the surgical light with just one movement. This can be easily done via the centrally mounted sterile handle using the my.GRIP function. The surgeon can adjust for example the lighting intensity and the light field diameter in a sterile manner by short or long rotary movements on the sterile handle. Thanks to the personalization option, my.GRIP allows up to 12 freely selectable combinations of setting options.

In addition to the unique hygienic properties, the HighLine impresses with the great light quality as well as the simple and intuitive usability. The patented reflector technology leads to an individually adjustable and shadow-free light field. In addition, due to the unsterile and the central sterile handle, the light head can be positioned easily. The intuitive usability concept of all SIMEON operating lights guarantees the operation of all light functions, either directly at the light head or optionally via a separate wall control panel.

Bacteria don’t stand a chance

To minimize the risk of contamination and to increase the level of hygiene in the OR, SIMEON has been offering the HighLine operating lights with Anti.BAC® coating for several years. The Anti.BAC® coating has the highest antimicrobial effect (log 5.9 for Escherichia Coli and log 4.29 for Staphylococcus aureus). The germ reduction is 99.99 percent. The coating is certified according to ISO 22196 (JIS Z 2801) and does not use any nano-silver or free silver ions, which are physiologically harmful.

„Bacteria and germs in the operating room can have devastating consequences for the patient”, explains Dr. Markus Keussen, Managing Director of SIMEON Medical. “As a solution provider for the hospital, we see it as our duty to also make contribution in the area of hygiene. That is why we offer our HighLine surgical lights with Anti.BAC® coating. This prevents potentially dangerous germs such as E-Coli bacteria from multiplying without additional measures having to be taken.” SIMEON is already planning to equip other products with the Anti.BAC® coating in the future.
