Illum-A-Field Modification of Medical and Surgical Instruments

摘要

ILLUM-A-FIELD^R Modification of Medical and Laboratory Instruments encompasses attaching a LED Assembly to medical, laboratory and other instruments and tools. Power to said assembly is a portable, lightweight, rechargeable power supply. Major advantages include field portability; use in hostile environments including battlefield conditions and civilian emergency situations; can be supplied with extremely long shelf-life batteries; can be used as emergency lighting due to the light output of the device. It has been shown to effectively reduce working time in histology and pathology laboratories. ILLUM-A-FIELD^R's ability to work submerged makes this a substantial improvement of medical instruments used in burn centers where patients must remain under water and other applications where a submersible implement would be of benefit.
