Profile: Luxtec produces medical illumination systems. We develop lighting and visualization systems for the operating room. Our products include headlights, ultralite, halogen, camera, surgical loupes, monitors, printers, and light sources. Our ultralite consists of ergonomic designs that use the head's natural contours to hold the light in place without uncomfortable pressure. Our MicroLux® DLX headlight camera system gives an entirely new way to visualize, edit, share and store surgical cases. Our adjustable surgical loupes make fitting easy and simplify the customization procedure to a minor movement of the loupe body. It requires neither time-consuming multiple fittings nor intrusive Pupillary Distance (PD) measurements. The frames can be fitted with prescription lenses and adjusted to fit the surgeon's PD on the spot. Our light source brings the brilliance of surgical lighting with the breakthrough CLX system, which is the first Xenon light source designed specifically for private practice, surgical centers and community hospitals. We develop lighting and visualization systems for the operating room.
