LED surgical light

The Stryker Visum LED Surgical Light integrates LED technology into its unique multi-reflector design. Using best-in-class LED’s, the light remains starkly cool while achieving a combination of brightness, pure white color, and shadow resolution that is unmatched in the marketplace. Conveniently, LED technology replaces the light bulb and requires very little maintenance. Furthermore, the energy efficiency of LED technology means less power consumption than traditional halogen lighting.

Ratcheting torque limiter driver

Gauthier Biomedical’s Ratcheting Torque Limiter (RTL) Driver for medical device OEM’s and orthopedic and spinal physicians acts as an all-in-one instrument that ratchets and limits the amount of torque applied. The RTL delivers smoother torque limiting performance with a "roller pin style" that provides less recoil. Eliminating the need to switch instruments during use, the two-in-one RTL also features less motion to actuate with 20 degrees of rotation to actuate the torque limiter. The new design features a lock to quickly revise or back out threaded fasteners.

Double-headed cleaning brush

Spectrum Surgical Instruments introduces a unique, double-headed cleaning brush featuring one brush head with nylon bristles and another brush head with stainless steel bristles for more aggressive cleaning. This convenient design makes this brush the perfect choice for cleaning surgical instruments, including the serrations and box-lock areas of hemostats, needleholder jaws, scissors and all orthopedic instruments.  The order number for this brush is 45-303NS.
