The present invention consists of an illumination apparatus capable of being attached to surgical instruments, and providing a better illumination of the operating field during surgical procedures. The illumination apparatus comprises a light source (1), such as a LED, connected to a power supply source (2). The light source (1) and part or all of the power supply source are housed in a purpose built casing (3). Said casing (3) has at least one attaching means (5) on its outer surface which is suitable for removably attaching the illumination apparatus to a surgical instrument, being removed and re-attached to another. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, said at least one attaching means (5) is a magnet. These attaching means allow for an easy attachment and removal of the illumination apparatus to several different surgical instruments during a particular surgical procedure. They also allow for the position of the illumination apparatus to be easily shifted along the surgical instrument. Due to its weight, design and size, the illumination apparatus of the present invention does not interfere with the normal use of the surgical instruments. Said present invention is aimed exclusively at open-air surgeries and in particular those in which it is necessary to obtain a good illumination of normally poorly illuminated organ cavities. |
