Wearable OR Lighting System
Born From Surgeon’s Experience

We aim to reduce the stress that surgeons experience in various
situations by delivering superior illumination and improved visibility.
This goal has led us to a new concept: “To Make OR Lights Wearable.”

CONCEPT

To Make OR Lights Wearable

While various medical lighting solutions exist, traditionally, most have prioritized either “brightness” or “mobility”.

The OPELAIII is a unique category of lighting that not only makes the intense brightness of an OR light wearable on the head, but also emphasizes similar quality and characteristics of OR light, distinguishing itself from other merely bright, glaring options.

This portable OR light can be used not only as an auxiliary light in operating rooms but also at bedside of ICU, in consultation rooms, disaster sites, and emergency vehicles, among other settings.

We asked surgeons who regularly use the original OPELAIII model for their impression of the new and improved OPELAIII Cx.
Reviews of OPELAIII across various specialties can be viewed in the “Effectiveness of OPELAIII” series of interview videos or in print.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How is OPELAIII different from traditional medical lightings?

    Compared to OR lights and headlights, the differences are as follows:

    • Compared to OR lights (Operating Room lights):

      The difference lies in the "location of the light source." OR lights are typically installed on ceilings or walls or are freestanding. However, OPELAIII features a light source located on the forehead, near the line of sight or coaxial alignment. This allows it to illuminate deep areas and difficult angles that were previously covered by shadows from surgeon's head or unreachable by OR light.

    • Compared to headlights:

      What sets it apart is the "quality of light." OPELAIII offers high illuminance while also reducing shadows, enhancing visibility of surgical field and surrounding inner walls. Additionally, it provides a light that is less strenuous to the eyes — another characteristic that distinguishes it from the glaring light of typical headlights.

  • In what situations can OPELAIII be used?

    It can be used as an auxiliary light to OR light in operating room settings, and in various environments such as bedside, examination rooms, disaster sites, and emergency vehicles, serving as a portable/wearable OR light.

  • How bright is it?

    OPELAIII Cx: 160,000 Lux
    OPELAIII: 145,000 Lux
    *Center intensity at distance of 400mm with the smallest spot size
