Highlights
Our Polaris surgical lights are designed for brilliant work: The series of OR lights makes your working day a lot easier – with functions which ease your workflows and improve your eye comfort. Numerous configuration options let you customise the Polaris light to perfectly meet your specific needs. The state-of-the-art light and camera quality, as well as plenty of upgrade options, provide you with a future-proof system for your OR.
Future proof technology
Our surgical lights have an outstanding optical performance with high contrasts that comply with all types of surgeries and make different tissue structures visible. The latest generation of LEDs deliver a homogeneous and round light field, with high … More information
illumination depth and excellent colour rendering values and contrast ratios. Its various light functions support the surgeon in conducting surgical interventions, e.g. selecting different colour temperatures, light intensities, light field diameters, or an Endo Light mode. A 4K camera integrated seamlessly next to the inner handle is immediately ready for use and provides clear and precise pictures.Our concept is a modular system with a slim and modern design. There are 3 pre-configured variants available:Polaris ComfortPolaris ProPolaris Pro+All of them are easy to upgrade and adapt to comply to future requirements. Retrofit from former Dräger lights to new ones is nearly effortless.To allow partner companies to interact with our light heads in their system, the Polaris lights feature an interface for OR Integration. In that way, medical and non-medical devices in an operating theatre can be linked, in order to optimise control and streamline workflows.Furthermore, our Polaris lights comply with the international cyber security norm IEC 60601-4-5, security level 1.
Ergonomic design for intuitive handling
The light head of the Polaris and its handles are designed in an ergonomic shape, making the adjustment and the positioning (in all directions 360°) as easy and comfortable as possible. User interfaces are intuitive to control, and uniform throughou … More information
t all Dräger devices. There are control options for sterile and non-sterile personnel. Colour markings above the light head and on the wall panel help to clearly assign the individual controls to the lights. To ensure smooth processes, we focus on the ergonomic arrangement of of all devices in your OR.Our Polaris light offers a range of functions that can help to streamline your workflows:3D Shadow Compensation: The 3D shadow compensation function detects objects between the light head and the surgical field and compensates for shadowing by actively controlling the LEDs. By providing a constant brightness in the surgical field, an optimal surgical procedure is facilitated.Light Guard: A single light head cannot exceed the threshold for irradiance. However, if the light fields of two light heads are directed on the same point, the permissible limit value can be exceeded1. The Light Guard function comfortably supports the irradiance on both the skin and surgical field, by reducing it to a value of 700 W/m2.Anti Glare function: High differences in brightness can lead to eye fatigue2. The Anti-Glare function makes sure that there is a smooth transition of the light field between the brightly-lit surgical field and the darker surrounding. With the help of the adjustable brightness transition, surgeon’s concentration levels can be positively supported, especially during long surgeries.Sync Mode: when activating the Sync Mode, all of the system’s active light heads work with the same light settings, so that the light heads can be controlled simultanously with one control panel. The following features can be synchronised: light intensity, colour temperature, light field diameter, endolight, anti-glare mode.Eye Relax: Blue light can possibly negatively affect the eye3. The Eye Relax function sets the luminaire to an eyecare mode with low blue content. It also optimally sets colour temperature, light intensity and light field, while maintaining high colour rendering indices.Preset Manager: Creating individual light settings, and later selecting these settings, enables a faster start-up in the OR. The surgeon's preferred settings can be saved according to type of surgery or to individual users. The Polaris comes with exemplary pre-saved settings for a wide range of surgery procedures.1) ECRI Institute: Hazard report.

h are necessary for your type of surgeries. Some options to choose from are: MedView 4K camera or MedView 4K camera Advanced, wired or wireless transmission, anti-reflection glass, light field diameters, colour temperatures, etc.Furthermore, there are multiple control options which you can choose, depending on the type of workflows and processes in your operating room:Control panel on the light head (standard)Control display unit on gimbal jointControl display unit on wallControl display unit on wall tableauHandle on the light head with sterile touch control (STC) for the surgeon, to position the light, and to intuitively adjust the light field size or intensityRemote control for the Medview cameraMoreover, we can offer a mobile version of the Polaris. The mobile Polaris can be deployed in the operating room as an additional, standalone light – such as during cardiovascular procedures when the patient must be operated on in several different places at the same time, or in emergency cases as well as in treatment rooms. In combination with a second Mobile Polaris, it can also be used as a surgical luminaire system. It especially proves its value when there is a lack of infrastructure and a secure, ceiling-mounted installation is not possible. Light intensity and colour temperature are also adjustable on the mobile versions via the control panel on the light head.Equipped with a Polaris Comfort, Pro or Pro+ luminaire head, the mobile version has almost no functional limitations. Height adjustment supported by pneumatic springs allows for effortless adaptation to transport and operating conditions. In the fully extended position, a working height of 2,170 mm is reached under the light head – ideal also for tall surgeons. If the mains power supply to the system is lost, the light continues to be fed by the integrated battery with no interruption. The mobile light has up to 4 hours of battery operating life with 100% illuminance, which provides security of supply in the case of a power cut. LED status indicators on the chassis also display the status of the power supply and of the battery charge.Wholistic Workplace Design in the OR
